Daoists believe the knowledge of how to renew their internal resources and maintain an optimal state of wellness is possible through the practice of Qi gong & Tai ji. This involves dedicated commitment to learning form and regular practice using breathing techniques, movement and centering of the mind. In the 21st century it is often known as movement therapy. We offer one on one Qi gong sessions.

Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine. Herbs are prescribed to restore balance in the body and to assist in normalising organ function and maintaining blood quality.
Moxibustion is an ancient method that uses a Chinese herb called mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). Moxibustion can be effective in the treatment of scarring, skin conditions and injury as it increases blood flow to the area to increase circulation. The heat (fire or lamp) can penetrate deep into the layers of the skin able to treat skin conditions. We now have thermal imagery evidence that it may assist in the repair of herniated disc.
Gua sha is a natural therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. We offer this service to gently scrape your skin with short or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the soft tissue, which increases blood flow.
Cupping is a restorative treatment beneficial in relieving muscular pain, stiffness and discomfort. Cups are placed on the skin’s surface to create a strong suction. This suction stimulates oxygen-rich blood to flow through to the muscles and tissue to promote the return of normal circulation encouraging repair.
“I was skeptical at first, but now the only thing I regret was not trying this treatment sooner. It feels amazing and it fixed a very painful injury.”
