Tuina-Asian Bodywork –Tuina, similar to massage, is the orthopedic branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine – tailored to suit each person’s healing needs. This type of bodywork goes between muscle fibers and tendons, around joints and connective tissue, stretching, and guided breath. This is an ancient form of bodywork from Asia that uses techniques like rolling of the practitioner’s hand along the acupuncture meridians to dredge and get the “qi” flowing, and may apply kneading and acupressure on specific acu-points. Qi is the life force that moves thru 12 regular and 2 extra meridian pathways according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Massage and body work can help to relieve joint and muscle pain and compliments any other healthcare modalitites, including acupuncture. Benefits may include increased flexibility, circulation, and range of motion and calmer sense of being. Receiving a quality healing touch session can quickly and effectively calm the emotions and ease away stresses that lead to declines in health.
These styles of bodywork or massage therapy offered by licensed therapists, have options for Aromatherapy and may combine elements of other styles if requested or as deemed appropriate. Aromatherapy, guided visualization, and breathing techniques from yoga are often taught in sessions, especially in Acupuncture sessions that add on bodywork. We are also knowledgeable in Chinese Herbal Medicine and may suggest various herbal formulations to assist your health.
About our practitioners:
Jagjit “JK” Khalsa, L.Ac., offers Acupuncture and Chinese herbs as she masterfully blends her years of study and experience with a natural gift for nurturing and healing. Her healing styles may draw from Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Martial Arts, and Native American healing. She also draws on years of being an elementary teacher and a massage therapist prior to her studies in Acupuncture and degrees in Oriental Medicine. Her intuitive connection with other dimensions of healing, and as former educator, uplift and assist in increasing the potential of truly restorative sessions. Her philosophy is based on universal love and compassion for all, regardless of race or religion.
JK wishes to help access the purity within each person she works with, in order to free the body-mind wisdom that may be dormant or need “rewiring”. She can offer candid observations of issues as she perceives them and she goes deep into your psyche to bring light and love into the darkest corners of your being. Diksha Pure Light Blessing and Satnam Rasayan are Reiki like energy work that both allow transmission of sacred healing from a deeply devotional aspect.
She can help iron out the stress, aches, and pains so that you can feel “normal”, or even better than before. Her aim is to inspire your healing and wholeness. We encourage you to experience Acupuncture, Massage, and Herbal therapies from Oriental Medicine at Harmony and Health.
