Auricular Therapy:What is Auricular Therapy? Auricular Therapy / Ear Seeds is the placing of seeds via small flesh colored adhesive to stimulate Acupuncture points corresponding to various parts of the body. This non-invasive method is painless, promotes relaxation, stress reduction, pain reduction, and regulates Qi. Typically they stay on for 3-7 days and have limited contraindications. I enjoy placing Ear Seeds because they are convenient and often times produce speedy results and continue to support the effects of my massage work after the client has left my office.

REFLEXOLOGY:Reflexology Massage is an ancient Egyptian modality. This massage technique involves manipulation of specific reflex areas in the foot, and hands that correspond to other parts of the body.
