Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a safe, comfortable, and effective treatment modality that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and as such, has been in use for thousands of years.

Many people find it very relaxing and calming, while others feel energized and more balanced mentally as well as physically.

Acupuncture is commonly used to reduce pain, speed up the healing of injuries, release tension, and calm the nervous system, though it is used to treat a wide range of symptoms and illnesses like hormonal imbalance, digestive disorders, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and even undiagnosed mystery woes.

Tui Na Massage

Tui na (pronounced twee-na) is a form of bodywork based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The name of this massage therapy modality comes from the two words describing actions in the treatment: tui means “to push” and na means “to grab or squeeze.”

Tui na goes beyond addressing the muscles, bones, and joints to work with the body on a deeper, energetic level. It is traditionally practised on fully clothed clients, so you should wear loose, comfortable clothing to ensure your practitioner can move your through a full range of motion.

Cupping

Cupping acupuncture Vancouver community acupuncture

Cupping has been used in many ancient healing traditions. We have glass cups for “fire cupping,” as well as silicone cups. We do both stationary and moving cupping, which involves sliding the cups over your muscles.

Cupping can be used for tension, pain, increasing circulation, and detoxifying. When placed strategically, the strong suction pulls up stagnated blood and toxins so that fresh circulation can be restored to the area for rejuvenation. Bruising and redness afterward are good signs of a highly therapeutic treatment!

Reiki

Jikiden reiki Vancouver natural health

The word “Jikiden” means “directly handed down” in Japanese. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. This energy is the natural, vital healing force found in all life. When a reiki practitioner places hands on an area of your clothed body, Universal Energy flows thru the practitioner to the client until the treatment stops.

Although the experience of reiki treatment is completely individual, clients often report a feeling of warmth, well-being, comfort, deep relaxation, and revitalization. Reiki relaxes muscles, stills the mind, and eases pain. Reiki treatment can accelerate healing.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can be offered in conjunction with coaching and counselling, and/or as a stand alone service, depending on your needs. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, fears/phobias, pain, limiting beliefs, weight management, low self confidence, or habit change, hypnotherapy can enhance your ability to create the change you desire and deserve.

Hypnotherapy creates a state of deep relaxation that facilitates improved focus and concentration. This allows for communication with your subconscious mind to reprogram unhelpful patterns that are responsible for negative behaviours, resulting in a shift you may have previously struggled to imagine.

Radiant Rest: Yoga Nidra

Yoga nidra has nothing to do with physical exercises, poses and stretching. In fact, this particular kind of yoga is a meditative practice which is done in a comfortable resting position. This practice is a guided, multi-level journey through the body, mind and spirit and a great way for you to slow down and recover from the stressors of life.

Yoga nidra sessions consist of:

  • calming breath patterns
  • progressive muscle relaxation
  • visualization
  • guided imagery
  • connection with positive intentions
  • cultivation of deeper levels of awareness

Yoga nidra sessions are designed to help you move through deeper states of consciousness, to calm your nervous system and enhance your overall well being. Sessions last about 40 minutes and can be done one-to-one with a practitioner or in a small group. There is something special about joining together with others, both in-person or online, and having an expansive experience together. Individual sessions are also great because they can be tailored to your particular wellness goals and desired outcomes (contact carlymyrest@gmail.com to book a private session).
