Chinese medicine is a hugely diverse and practical resource of knowledge and wisdom gathered and constantly evolving over the last 4000 years. The key elements of Oriental medicine and well being revolve around the notion that 'Prevention is the Cure'. The role of a Shiatsu (or Acutonics) practitioner is to discern the health of not just your Physical body (Organs, muscles, sinews, structures and transportation systems), but also your Emotional body (mental well being, trauma, response and reaction), and your Spiritual body (Core Beliefs, Values and Connection). It is all of the systems working together beneficially that create a strong and abundant person who is able to traverse life with courage, strength, flexibility and compassion.

Every session is unique.

You know, there's an arc to sessions.

When meeting a client for the first time, we start at the surface (and by surface, I mean the depth at which a person first allows my curiosity, this is unique to each and every individual).

I'll work the body, soften and dissolve the stress and tune them back into themselves and over time as we and the work becomes more familiar, the sessions also begin to shift (again, completely dependent on what needs the client has at heart).

They can become less about the body work, and more about the holding, the safety in vulnerability, the freedom in openness, truth and release.

This little sketch depicts the beauty in earned trust, solid holding, never flinching, always turning up (even when I'm a little wobbly) , even when emotions are spikey and protective and aimed at my open arms and hands.

Turning up sans judgement, without fear and only in the deep service of seeing through the jungle of disharmonious frequencies that cloud our vision and Hearts (on both my side and the clients).

Turning up in the absolute truth that we are all on a journey and that we are all Love and we are all One.

Here, we see the moment that Kali, previously exhibiting absolute rage and mania, finally releases years of repressed and suppressed anger and grief, remembering who she is, allows me to wash her hair of all the suffering.
But only after I proved I could hold the magnitude of her force.

All of these visions came through in 5D vision (seriously, it was intense) just by gently touching this client's neck.

We didn't get here straight away, we took the scenic route, checking in at each phase, taking the detours and stop signs as they came up.
A year of earned trust, of feeling seen, heard and safe, we were able to release something long hidden away.

And when the timing was right, the session started and ended here, at the bottleneck.

With me as the witness, whose only role was to witness, not intervene, not interfere.
Just observe with only Love.

Yep, I know it might seem weird to some of you ..
But it is not mine to judge. Just be.

Shiatsu & Acutonics is for everyone!!!!

This pooch is getting her shine back on after recently losing a leg after being in a hit and run.

Over the weeks she's been receiving reiki as a gentle start to calming her nervous system and balancing her energy while she went through some intense surgery and emotional turbulence.

Today her and her human companion came in for a dual sesh. There are shared benefits for each Being, when one is treated, the other also receives.

The forks were a bit tricky, a little too strong for a body that has been through so much just yet.

I had to diminish them quite a bit before applying them and she would only let me put them on her foot.
Animals and children are much more sensitive and don't require a lot to get a good dose.

But lots of gentle touch and working the meridians (yes! Animals have them too) and she was so bright and sparky, full of joy.
Just as we would hope for them.

Dogs, cats, horses, kids, adults...
You name it, Shiatsu and Acutonics is da bomb!

A helpful tip to ground down, calm and even ease nausea.

Pericardium 6 NeiGuan - Inner Gate
2 Cun (two thumb widths or 3 fingers above the wrist crease)

Stay cool
Stay grounded
Be present and unphased.

Yum!

This point is so great for softening anxiety, especially if you feel it in your belly.
It helps to bring you back in, back down and give you the ability to discern clearly.

Get on it!

I see you.
I feel you.
I understand you.

I think to some degree we are all carving out new branches and tracks from where we have come to somewhere we hope sees more beauty, connection and Love for all who come after us.

Evolution has always thrown mutation into the cauldron on Life just to see what might happen.
And it's no different in our lives.
I can see reason behind the things we often judge as negative and I hope to water and nourish beauty in that which is judged as positive.
But all of it is just perspective.

What's good for the goose...

There must be something written in the stars at present as I see many, myself included, straying from the well curated hiking path, seeking and searching for new horizons.

May you forge forward with intention, trust and a desire to create no harm.

You have a cheer squad over here!

Considering the tumultuous upbringing I grew up in, I feel I've done pretty blooming well to have gotten this far in life as well as I have, in the hard times and the good.

But holy moly, when broken parts get mended, it's like a whole new world!!!!

I love my vocation.
I have the honour of treating families, friends and loved ones, both human and animal.

I have studied, sweated, experienced and lived my knowledge.
And it's not always easy but it is so worth it to bring others something they might need from a place where my empathy leads, my Heart feels, my hands understand and my where my body has healed.

I not only hear, but see and feel and I use all my senses and what I have been taught to support, hold and help where I can.

I love what I do.and I will continue to embody all the facets that life throws me so I can gift the transformative parts and the wisdom to whomever needs or wants in whatever way is needed and wanted.

An homage to Kalima and to my Mother.

01/10/2025

Daily practice, daily Mantra.

I don't feel like I do all that much to help change the world.
It is hard for someone like me to feel helpless in the face of it all.

What I can do is be strong for my community, to Wisdom up my skills so I can hold all those who seek holding and to ensure my body works at its best so I can show up in Love and Power.

May we change the world with Kindness.
May we learn from our mistakes.
May we be our own authority and respect others as they are.
May we stand in the face of adversity and guide to peaceful outcomes.
