techniques drawn from Classic Western Massage, Swedish Massage, Kunye or Tibetan Massage, and Acupressure define a session.
Benefit:

are removed so the client’s own body, emotions, and mind can rest easily. The results are reduction of stress and energetic stagnation.
An experience of balance, true relaxation and healing is made possible.
