    EXTENDED INTEGRATED TREATMENT

  • In this session, the patient will simultaneously receive acupuncture and Craniosacral Therapy (CST). CST is a light touch bodywork that releases adhesions in the connective tissue to allow for the free flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) which helps to regulate the nervous system and ease pain and tension in the body. Our lineage of Craniosacral Therapy is deeply rooted in Chinese medicine theory and is an excellent compliment to all other modalities.

  • For existing patients, treatment includes brief intake and acupuncture. The session may incorporate heat therapy and/or minimal bodywork.

This is a bodywork-only treatment for existing patients, featuring our lineage specific Jinshou Tuina and may include the application of moist heat packs with external herbal therapy, craniosacral rebalancing, cupping, guasha, moxibustion and/or bo fa (stretching technique). This treatment is ideal for patients with an established treatment plan and in-between more intensive treatments with Emily.

  • This service is with a trained and skilled Clinic Intern under the supervision of Emily Morrison, LAc.
