Traditional Chinese Medical therapies promote balance of Yin and Yang, help prevent disease, and strengthen the immune system for quality and longevity of life.
Lotus lily represents a spirit that can bloom in any circumstance. The plant is known as the sacred lotus of Hinduism and Buddhism and is the national flower of India. The Chinese also revere the lotus as a symbol of purity and elegance, and use the plant in herbal medicine.
The lotus lily is a bridge for me to incorporate my experience and knowledge in the Eastern modalities of yoga and Chinese medicine - massage, cupping, acupuncture and herbs as well as breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques.
With a focus on women's health issues and health problems, TCM can assist with menstruation difficulties, menopause symptoms and weight loss. As for fertility issues so pertinent today, I combine knowledge and training of the Billings Ovulation Method along side Chinese medical
diagnosis and examination - while thoroughly assisting women in their quest for a viable pregnancy and birth of a healthy baby via awareness of the natural cycles of their bodies.
Adding specific acupuncture regimes designed for infertility, as well as herbal formulas prescribed individually, is a wonderfully safe non-intrusive approach for bringing about the
desired result!
I have recently included a new and exciting branch in my TCM work and that is in the area of
Esoteric Acupuncture as taught by Mikio Sankey Ph.D.,L.Ac. Esoteric Acupuncture focuses on
the utilization of Traditional Chinese acupuncture theory along with the Hindu chakra system, and Sacred Geometry.
The primary focus in EA is not just about balancing of Qi and the flow of Qi throughout the various body systems and meridians, but also about balancing and clearing the Chakras (energy vortices located in various sites of the body). Esoteric Acupuncture is one method of
creating a more harmonious frequency within our energy field. A great deal of our imbalances
can be attributed to emotional triggers and blockages, stress of life and our perception of these challenges Acupuncture patterns in triangles specifically align, strengthen and harmonise the energies of the subtle bodies (ie the etheric, astral, mental and higher) to establish a stronger and harmonious connection with the higher spiritual realms. In administering these patterns of acupuncture, visualisation methods and meditation are utilised by both patient and myself thereby bringing about a more wholistic, integrative and co-operative form of treatment that essentially gives greater quality of healing and well-being. A strengthening of our physical and emotional resources/ reserves and our capacity for coping with what life is presenting to us is boosted. More than just increasing our energy, this type of treatment begins to change how we view our illness or problem. This is truly healing at a much deeper level.
