Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture is a comprehensive system of medicine based on natural laws; developed and refined with a continuous clinical history of over 3000 years. It is a highly effective method treating functional and chronic disorders, preventing illness, reducing stress, and helping us achieve and maintain optimum health.
On the physical level, acupuncture treats a wide variety of complaints such as:
- pain
- allergies
- asthma
- anxiety
- menstrual and fertility disorders
- addictions
- insomnia and
- chronic fatigue
In the behavioral and emotional realms acupuncture can treat diagnoses such a: ADD, AHD, anxiety, and depression.
Acupuncture helps us become attuned to what we innately know — that we are interconnected — mind/body/spirit. The classical Chinese translations speak to the health of the physical, emotional, and mental body. They refer to them as one and they do not separate them.
Acupuncture at Healing Arts is available by appointment.
Massage
At Healing Arts we offer a
variety of modalities and techniques, including Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release/connective tissue massage, Esalen massage, and
Reiki. Massage sessions are created using a blend of these techniques with the
intention of best meeting the needs of each client.
Therapeutic massage relieves muscle stiffness, increases circulation, moves
lymph, and can be helpful for any stress-induced chronic health problems such
as headache, insomnia, ADD among many others. Our massage therapists use a
variety of techniques to shape each session individually, to best address the
situation of each client.
In recent years, therapeutic massage has become widely recognized by the
western medical establishment as beneficial, rather than as an indulgence or
way of self-pampering. We're happy to be able to provide this
gentle healing modality on Capitol Hill.
Therapeutic massage is available by appointment.
Psychotherapy, often referred to as talk therapy, is a process in which a clinical therapist and an individual enter into a collaborative relationship for the purpose of assisting the individual:
- develop insight and gain increased understanding of a specific problem, situation, relationship, or self
- achieve personal growth
- make meaningful behavior or lifestyle changes
- reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, or diagnosed mental illness
- maximize enjoyment of life
There are many approaches to psychotherapy including: cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, psychodynamic or eclectic. The benefits of psychotherapy can be life changing. At Healing Arts we take an interactive supportive approach to psychotherapy targeting the method to the unique needs and interests of each client. Our Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers are available to offer these services to individuals, families, couples and/or children.
Psychotherapy is available by appointment.
Past life Spiritual Regression and Reiki Energy Healing
In spite of our best efforts, many of us have issues in our lives that we do not fully understand. "Why am I so angry at this or that person?" "Why can't I get rid of this profound fear of __?" "Why am I so lonely, so hyper-responsible — or — so lacking in energy?" We might also want to understand why we have certain talents, are so drawn to certain careers, or have an unusual interest in some foreign cultures. Past-life Spiritual Regression is a collaborative process where the healer leads clients back to a past life, they relive and review lessons from it together so that these can be integrated into the present life-time.
Reiki is a laying on of hands healing system which balances and unblocks the universal life force 'chi' energy that exists in each of us.
Regression and Reiki are mutually reinforcing. Regression helps illuminate past-life experiences, choices and decisions. Reiki is a process of moving energy to optimize well-being and health. It is often used in conjunction with massage and acupuncture, as it is the healing, spiritual movement of 'chi' — removing blockages and easing energy flowing throughout and around your body. Some clients need only one session while others benefit from a series of these healings. For instance, at times, blocked energy needs to be cleared by a massage and a Reiki session before proceeding to a Regression. At other times a Regression brings up stored blocks that later need to be eliminated by Reiki hands-on healing and acupuncture.
Serena is available for healings Tuesday 9-6 and Wednesday 8-2 or by separate appointment.
