Services Descriptions

ShenJing (MindBody) Acupressure

Picture
In Private ShenJing Acupressure sessions, lasting 1 to 1.5 hours, you will receive gentle and professional personal support in exploring your mind-body connection in order to resolve inner conflicts and habitual mental/emotional holding patterns, which have translated into chronic muscle tension, pain, fatigue, discomfort & disease. I will treat you hands on and teach you to treat yourself using the many resources at our disposal from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and modern MindBody Medicine  and technology. You will lie clothed, on a Bio mat filled with amethyst crystals that emits far infra red radiant energy and negative ions while I gently stimulate acupoints on your body with my hands. I will teach you Energy Management Tools and acupoint protocols to use between sessions. 

Acupressure Facelift (Private Session)

Picture
The Acupressure Facelift is one of our most popular services.  During this service we will apply the ancient Oriental secrets of facial beauty using gentle acupressure techniques.  Users of the acupressure facelift report benefits such as preserving and restoring the muscle tone, texture & circulation in your face and neck.  

You will receive this treatment while laying on the massage table.  Also includes BioMat session and Neck & Shoulder release.

Acu Aromatherapy Services

Picture
Acu-Aromatherapy combines the powerful healing properties of both acupressure and therapeutic grade organic or wild crafted essential oils.  Essential oils will be used undiluted in most cases to stimulate acupoints on your feet, hands or back in a soothing therapeutic protocol to suit your specific needs, providing relief for pain and discomfort in any and all levels of being (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual).

Personal perfumes can also be blended for you to use in between treatments to supplement our therapy.

Picture

Neck & Shoulder Release

Traditional acupressure techniques and points are used to improve circulation and relieve tension in your neck and shoulders.

The acupressure points, when stimulated, may release endorphins (chemicals) in the brain which have a pain relief effect similar to morphine.

It is also thought that stimulating the acupressure point for neck pain can block pain impulses from the spinal cord to the brain. Research has indicated that acupressure points have a lower resistance to electrical current and stimulating these points may modulate electrical activity.

C.H.I. Bead Ear Acupressure Treatment

Picture
Looking for a drug-free, needle-free solution for anxiety, attention problems, insomnia, food addictions or stress? Ear acupressure may be the answer!  Ear Acupressure using small beads on the surface of the ear is said to decrease anxiety, pain, burn-out, stress and addictions.  Results such as relaxation, grounding, increased energy, focus and openness have been reported with the first treatment.

HOW DO CHI BEADS WORK?
  • The CHI BEADS are known to stimulate the body’s production of endorphins-the ‘feel good neuropeptides’. They also support the functioning of vital organ systems that have often been exhausted by our modern lifestyle such as Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, and Parasympathetic nervous system
WHAT MUST I DO? HOW LONG DO THEY STAY IN MY EAR?
  • The seeds or pellets work alone and seeds can be gently pressed daily for increased effectiveness. Pellets can be applied to alternate ears to allow the skin to rest. They should be removed after 5 days, in order to avoid the possibility of skin irritation. Do not use on broken infected or inflamed skin
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
  • Improvement seems to be ongoing. 6 weeks of continuous treatment, seems to establish a change that can often be felt over a long period of time. Because they are so effective, many chose to use the pellets repeatedly.
WHAT WILL I FEEL? 
  • Great! Is what most people would answer. The CHI BEAD protocol is used in many different settings, and results differ with individuals. The specific points are sometimes sensitive when palpated and can remain so for a few days after seeds are applied.  Results such as relaxation, grounding, increased energy, focus, and openness, as well as reduction of cravings and insomnia are often experienced with the first treatment.
IS IT SAFE?
  • It can be safely used by anyone, anywhere, and similar protocols have been used to help:
  • Youngsters with attention deficit and learning difficulties,
  • Those with everyday stress, anxiety, chronic pain & insomnia,
  • Pregnant women & Parents of children undergoing surgical procedures.
  • People addressing addictions to cigarettes, alcohol & street drugs,
  • Those who are overweight,
  • Those with psychological disorders, autism & depression
  • Emergency response personnel and Trauma survivors from 9/11, the Katrina Hurricane
  • and the Iraq or Afghanistan war
  • Patients with hip injuries being transported by emergency personnel after a fall
  • Parents of children undergoing operations
  • Staff of offices, hospitals and treatment facilities


Core Health Mind Body Coaching 

Picture
Private and conference Mind/Body Coaching Sessions with Esther McCormick can be arranged to fit your schedule and your situation.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine mental, emotional and physical symptoms are treated on a continuum as various related manifestations of CHI or vital energetic imbalance. Therefore Oriental Medicine is intrinsically Mind Body medicine. The emotions are attributed to innate balance or imbalance in specific organ meridian systems and are treated as such. Health is not just freedom from disease but quality of life, balance and resonance with the environment and the seasons.

Disease is understood as energetic dysfunction. Pain is an indicator of deficiency, rebellious movement and most often stagnation of CHI, or vital energy. We often need help identifying and releasing physical emotional or mental obstruction or stagnation formed by chronic holding patterns.  These holding patterns such as chronic muscular tensions, were coping mechanisms, needed in the past, that are no longer useful but which can be so habitual that they are almost invisible to us.

Once these holding patterns are recognized and acknowledged, during the acupressure treatment or coaching session,
  it can often be almost effortless to thank them for taking care of us, and release them, thereby freeing up the energy that had been trapped, for use in creating health and fulfillment in our lives, or at least comfort and ease. It is a process of releasing layers of habitual reaction patterns that have obstructed our innately free flowing vital energy and harmonious organ functioning.

An important aspect of the coaching relationship is the core belief that each of us is whole, resourceful and creative. A coach can support you in creating the life you choose. The first session is always free because we must establish whether we can and should work together, and together design our relationship and set the goals and parameters for our work together.The emphasis may be weight, pain or stress management, indigestion, smoking cessation or fertility. Problems that appear to be physical may have psycho-social roots and emotional problems may be rooted in diet of lifestyle or organ dysfunction. You will be coached and treated as a whole multidimensional Being.

Coaching sessions can be conducted in person, over the phone or on Skype. We form a relationship and commit to a plan of action that the client creates and manages. You are the one you have been waiting for.
