ZEN SHIATSU

Dealing with mental and/or physical stress or trauma that leaves you in pain or feeling unable to enjoy your day the way you want to? Heart of Zen recommends weekly appointments until you notice a positive change.

Experiencing a recent injury or trauma that has left you with a sprain, strain, or ache? Heart of Zen recommends scheduling an appointment as soon as possible to support quick and complete healing.

Feeling healthy and strong? Heart of Zen recommends monthly appointments to continue to support the wellness habits you have incorporated into your life.

Expressions of health include appropriate breath, diet, movement, and rest so that you can function to your fullest. Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain these expressions of health in your life, even when confronted with stress or injury.

Literally translated, shiatsu means “finger pressure.” Rooted in the traditions of Japanese and Chinese medicine, Zen shiatsu touch is given to specific points and channels in the body to facilitate the innate healing power of the whole human energetic body.

Zen shiatsu sessions last approximately one hour. The client stays fully clothed.

Each session is designed to address your current state of health, the symptoms you are experiencing, your constitution and general energy levels. A variety of Zen shiatsu techniques can be used to improve your energy flow. These might include gentle holding; pressing with palms, thumbs, and fingers on the meridians; and, when appropriate, more dynamic rotations and stretches. Zen shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being — not just the physical body but also on the emotional and mental levels of our entire energetic spectrum.

Following a treatment, there can be a feeling of increased vitality and you may feel invigorated yet relaxed.

FOOT TUINA

Foot tuina is Chinese foot reflexology. Besides being very relaxing, foot tuina can increase blood circulation, reduce heart burden, and increase metabolism. Foot tuina can remove stagnation, increase immunity, and help prevent disease.

Foot tuina begins with an herbal foot soak, followed by deep tuina touch on the feet, ankles, and calves. It is an excellent stand alone therapy, but can be particularly relaxing when combined with a Zen shiatsu treatment.

Ask if this is an appropriate option for your health.

 HAND THERAPY

Korean hand therapy is very relaxing, can increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and increase flexibility. Hand therapy can remove stagnation, and support healing.

Hand therapy includes tuina touch and guasha on the hands, fingers, and forearms. It is an excellent stand alone therapy, but can be particularly relaxing when combined with a Zen shiatsu treatment.

Ask if this is an appropriate option for your health.
