Your Journey Towards Health & Wellbeing

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been practiced for over 3000 years and has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment to improve various discomforts and medical conditions.

The theory consists on the concept of Qi, the vital force, or energy which flows in the meridians (energy pathways) through our body. disharmony in the flow of Qi can manifest as discomfort or disease.


During the consultation I will gather information, taking into consideration the whole state of the individual in order to determine the pattern of imbalance, understand the primary constitutional imbalance, and identify the root of the illness. Treatment is then focused on nourishing the root, in order to achieve harmony between the elements and improve the flow of Qi, which promotes health in the person’s

body, mind and spirit.

After a consultation the treatment involves gentle stimulation of a minimum number of acupuncture points along the meridians, using fine needles and moxibustion. The points are

carefully chosen by the practitioner according to the individual’s needs, in order to restore health.

MORE ABOUT LIOR

Shiatsu

Shiatsu therapy was developed in Japan and is based on the same principles as

acupuncture, but the practitioner is using human touch rather than needles.


The treatment is performed while the client is lying comfortably clothed on

a futon mattress. It involves soft manipulation, stretches, and the use of

thumbs, palms, elbows and knees to apply pressure adapted to individual needs.


Although the bodywork is very soothing, it is a deep energy treatment, which

aims to restore harmony within the body and improve the flow of Qi through

the meridians. The result: longer-term sustained benefits body, mind, spirit.

Benefits can be felt from the first session, however, for chronic problems

a course of treatment is recommended. Start with 4 to 6 sessions weekly and

reduce frequency according to client's feedback. The aim is to reach good health

and keep it that way for longer,


Improving the flow of Qi, releasing blocks and maintaining the body on a

monthly basis does not allow the imbalance to become chronic and manifest as

disease.

Reflexology


Reflexology is a form of holistic medicine, started in Egypt more than 4000 years

ago, aiming to help the body to restore its natural balance by stimulating

the deficient systems or organs through the feet. The theory behind is that

every part of our body is also reflected in the feet, and by using

different techniques the therapist stimulates reflex points mainly on the feet, which

corresponds to every part of the body.

Our feet do not get enough attention, Reflexology is a real treat, relaxing

and soothing, yet very powerful and reaches every aspect of our

Body Mind and Spirit.

Massage

A full body massage where the emphasis is more on circulation. The treatment involves

using oil applied by the therapist using mainly the palms in various techniques.

The massage is a good way of relaxation and distressing from the every day

life, therefore it can relieve stress related symptoms. For more chronic conditions

the therapist may recommend another therapy.


Deep tissue massage

A full body massage where the emphasis is more on the deep tissue muscles

(back & legs). It differs from the Swedish massage in a way that the movements

are slower and the therapist is using a firm pressure applied by the palms

(wrists and elbows if needed), the therapist may also use soft manipulation to

joints (shoulders hips knees and ankles).


The massage is a good way of helping the body to recover from a good workout,

exercise, or being in bad posture at work for a few hours (sitting or standing

for too long). It is also beneficial to many stress related symptoms.

QI-GONG CLASSES

In addition to Complementary Medicine I also teach Qi Gong classes online via Zoom.

Qi gong is an ancient practice aligning breath, movement, and awareness, for exercise, healing, and martial arts training. It is a deep energy practice circulating the Qi and connecting us from the gross to the subtle. Qi- Gong philosophy has roots in the I Ching, Taoism, Buddhist schools of thought, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Classical Five Elements. Some of these concepts will be woven through the classes, but I will also supplement blog entries on the philosophy, for those who wish to go deeper into the philosophy of the practice.

In addition to Complementary Medicine I also teach Qi Gong classes online via Zoom.

Some frequently asked questions

What happens during an initial consultation?

The initial consultation and treatment can take up to 2 hours.


during the first session an initial consultation is carried out this is an opportunity to get to know you and assess the presenting symptom(s) of concern. After a consultation I would devise a treatment plan tailored to your needs and focusing on nourishing the root as well as relieving symptoms. The aim is to restore harmony between the elements, which promotes good health. I may further recommend Qi Gong, Physical exercises and dietary advice.

How long will I need to have treatment?

This really depends on what is the presenting symptom, as some conditions may need a course of treatment to treat. ( this will be assessed and discussed at the initial consultation.)

Some clients choose to come for treatments regulary to maintain health and well-being

Since the treatment is not focusing on the symptoms, there is no need to wait

for an illness to appear. The Five-element system of medicine is a good way

of preventive medicine and maintenance for the body, mind and nourishing the spirit. Which assists the individual to express the full potential through life in every aspect
