Acupressure

Acupressure is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves applying gentle finger pressure to acupuncture points. It is a safe and relaxing alternative to using needles and can support a range of imbalances in the body by promoting the flow of Qi ("chi" energy) through the meridian pathways. This treatment is given while you relax on a massage table fully clothed and can include:

Head, neck and shoulder release

Lower back and hip release

Pregnancy &/or preparing for birth

Short term relief for other symptoms such as fatigue, headache, digestive issues, immune support or detoxification
