Discover the benefits of Zen Shiatsu and Meridian Therapy. This form of massage originates from Japan and has roots in Chinese medicine, where it merged with modern anatomy and physiology knowledge. This meridian-based approach focuses on the interaction of your energy lines to normalize your body functions. It uses shiatsu (thumb/finger pressure) techniques to activate and stimulate your natural self-healing abilities. By targeting specific trigger points/lactic acid deposits, known as Tsubo, on various body parts, this therapy helps to bring balance to your systems and includes myofascial stretches and joint mobilization. Ultimately, Zen Shiatsu and Meridian Therapy can help to prevent illness by bolstering your innate ability to resist sickness. This treatment is based on Orthopaedic assessments, thorough health history intake and palpation. This treatment can be performed when you are fully clothed or partially disrobed under a top-sheet. Treatments are done on a regular massage table and I may ask you to lay face down, face up, and on your side. Zen Shiatsu is based on relaxation and can used generally or for specific health concerns and always within your comfort levels. Clients report feeling deep relaxation, pain relief and improved functionality.
Acupuncture

Suikodo Therapy / Zen Shiatsu
Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles at key points on the body. These needles are much finer than typical hypodermic needles. Often perceived as pain-free and pleasurable, acupuncture stimulates the release of hormones similar to opiates, inducing a state of deep relaxation, balance, and healing. Trained Massage Therapists

Often perceived as pain-free and pleasurable, acupuncture stimulates the release of hormones similar to opiates, inducing a state of deep relaxation, balance, and healing. Trained Massage Therapists in Ontario can perform acupuncture within our scope for pain and musculoskeletal issues. Acupuncture can be performed complementary to massage, gua sha, and cupping. Electrostimulation may also be applied to the acupuncture needles to enhance healing. Various levels of disrobing and draping may be used to access the vital points and are always within your comfort level.
Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses suction on the skin to facilitate deep muscle healing and significantly increase blood flow. An oil massage is performed, and the cups can either move or stay static, bringing stagnant blood to the surface where the body can process it. Cupping can leave marks for a few days and can performed on the skin only. Clients with bu
Cupping uses suction on the skin to facilitate deep muscle healing and significantly increase blood flow. An oil massage is performed, and the cups can either move or stay static, bringing stagnant blood to the surface where the body can process it. Cupping can leave marks for a few days and can performed on the skin only. Clients with burning pain often get relief, as with those with stubborn fascial restrictions. Acute inflammation may also be treated with cups.
Gua Sha Therapy

“Gua Sha” is a term for a collection of techniques that use a stainless steel tool to scrape along the skin to relieve pain and realign the myofascial network.

“Gua Sha” is a term for a collection of techniques that use a stainless steel tool to scrape along the skin to relieve pain and realign the myofascial network. Gua Sha, in Chinese, means' To scrape away latent disease. ' This treatment is done on the skin using oils and creams and can leave redness on the areas worked. This therapy can quickly reduce pain, increase range of motion, and increase blood circulation.
Myofascial Release
This technique involves gentle and sustained pressure on the Myofascial connective tissue to relieve pain and improve mobility. It’s a safe and effective way to balance the Myofascial networks and promote opyimum posture. In a Myofascial Release Treatment session, the therapist applies pressure directly to the skin without using oils, creams, or machinery. This technique enables them to identify and address fascial restrictions with precision. Myofascial Release is a customized approach that tailors treatment to each patient’s needs and goals. Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures that create pain and discomfort. Myofascial releases these mechanical forces naturally. Techniques are performed on the skin with stretching maneuvers, so shorts and a sports bra are recommended.

I have 19 Years of experience integrating modalities and massage concepts to provide the highest-quality care. I have had success interrupting the most stubborn disease patterns, from arthritis to migraines to IBS. I always use a thorough assessment to get a complete clinical impression.
I analyze your posture, gait, breath, flexibility, and strength before and after a session to monitor your progress. The treatments are designed to work immediately, so some conditions require multiple appointments, but you should start feeling better right away. I always work within your pressure and comfort preferences.
