What does a Bodywork and Acupuncture session consist of?
I describe what a session might look like here.
Does a Bodywork and Acupuncture session have to include needles?
If needles aren’t your cup of tea, that’s ok. In the Japanese style we use very small, thin needles, but even so, if needles aren’t what you’re looking for we can focus on other modalities such as cupping, gua sha, moxa and hands on work.
What is Visceral Manipulation?
My training of Visceral Manipulation is through The Barral Institute. They define visceral manipulation as the following:
- gentle manual therapy that assesses the structural relationships between the viscera (organs), and their fascial or ligamentous attachments to the various systems in the body.
- assists functional and structural imbalances throughout the body including musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, eliminatory, neuroendocrine and lymphatic dysfunction.
Ultimately this style of bodywork is very subtle and uses a very soft touch. Sometimes I incorporate this style into my sessions depending on what is going on.
How often do I need to do a session?
Sessions are usually once a week, but they could be once everyone two weeks or even once every three weeks. Much of this will depend on how you are feeling after each session. I typically do not recommend going longer than one month between sessions.
What do I wear to the sessions?
Both men and women can wear gym shorts. I ask that women please wear a sports bra or a tank top.
How much does it cost?
Contact Lauren to find out about session rates.
What are your refund and cancellation policies?
All sales are final and no refunds will be offered. There is a 24 hour cancellation policy for all sessions. Packages expire one year from the purchase date, but I recommend completing the series well within a year.
