Therapeutics
Treatment Philosophy
Drawing from a large repertoire of Eastern and Western techniques, I customize every treatment to the individual's needs and desires and employ a mixture of "Tui Na" (Chinese Medical massage) along with other Traditional and Modern modalities including acupuncture, cupping, Shiatsu, electro - magnetic therapy, diet, and Herbology. Whether rehabilitation, relief from specific pain and problems, or simple relaxation, revitalization and enhanced performance is the goal, the treatment philosophy is as follows:
1) The best therapy is never painful , always as pleasurable and non-invasive as possible and without soreness and "reactions" afterwards.
2) The client actively participated in the process both during the treatment with breath and visualization, and afterwards by learning
to employ self-help techniques such as pressure points, corrective exercises, visualization, and if desired, dietary changes, herbs, supplements, and health promoting aids.
Wellness Vacation
We invite you to experience the positive effects of our wellness
vacations. Your personalized program is designed to enhance your
vacation with daily therapies and body treatments along with
educational and self help knowledge. You may choose from a variety of
options from a la carte therapeutics to a complete health program.
Since TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is really about the observation of Nature, its rules, and its manifestation in our bodies, mind, and spirit, getting out into Nature is key. Daily hikes and outings are included. Our house is one of the origin houses on the golf course, built in 1966, and as a native, I would be pleased to act as a tour guide to some great local hikes.
Food, herbs, cleansers, etc. Diet is a huge factor in health and will be covered. Breakfast will be supplied a la bed and breakfast style, only generally much healthier. (fresh fruits, whole grain cereals (cooked and raw) and breads, and some suprise recipes) I could bring in a gourmet cook if that is desired, but as part of keeping it simple, affordable, co-operative, and educational, the main meal(s) will be shared, either as a group or by groups.
Off Season rates April - June : There is a 3 day minimum and group discounts will apply. The retreats are generally consolidated from Thursdays through Sundays , but let me know your particular need. Single occupancy is $133 per night. Double occupancy is $200 ($100 per person) per night.
Group rates. If you have a few couples, or a group of friends who would like to go at together, there is a buy 3, get one free discount.Other discounts may apply, just tell me your situation. Although the house can sleep up to 12 vert comfortably, I am limiting occupancy to 6 persons per retreat, unless you have a coherent group.
Again this includes both room, breakfast (and snacks), and 80 minute therapy (first day) and 60 minute therapy each day after. Plus I will be offering instruction and education about Chinese Medicine and related topics .There will also be available DVD's on related topics. Although TV is not a recommended part of a retreat, several bedrooms do have private TV with cable.. There is also a hot tub (recommended) and a Sauna (great for cleansing).
A daily flow would loosely involve breakfast and morning hike. This followed by lunch and learning. Afternoons are free time for resting, reading, watching a dvd, shopping, cooking (meals are shared) or more outing. Treatments will be scheduled all afternoon. Dinner time and then some group time around the fire to talk story and share more information as desired.. Again this is a loose flow chart.
