Amma Therapy is an Ancient form of Asian Bodywork that combines an Acupressure technique with the Chinese Medicine Diagnostics. Offering all the benefits of therapeutic massage with the deeply nourishing effects of Acupuncture without the discomfort of needles.
In addition to Amma Therapy, I incorporate many forms of bodywork and therapies into my unique style. Sessions may include techniques from Deep Tissue, Swedish, Cranial-Sacral Therapy, Tui-Na and Manual Therapy, as well as Fire Cupping, Moxabustion. Guasha, Auricular Therapy, or Aroma Point Therapy.
