Within the organs & meridians, there may be problems due to many things such as stagnation, injury, cold, heat, inflammation etc,. The Therapist may need to clear the organ/meridian through various techniques which may include acupuncture, electro-acupucture, tui na (Chinese Massage), cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, diet therapy etc.
The interview process is longer than what you may have experienced with a Massage Therapy treatment so give yourself 2 hours as each treatment is tailored to each individual and the times may vary.

BodyTalk
The body has the ability to heal itself, however this ability is hindered by many factors including physical, emotional, mental, biochemical and environmental stressors. BodyTalk assists the body in remembering how to heal itself.
Health challenges arise for a variety of reasons. As a practitioner, Marian is trained to look at the whole-person emotional, physical and environmental influences, so that the true underlying causes of dis-ease can be revealed.
Every choice and every experience in your life has contributed to your current state of health. Each scar, laugh line, and injury has a unique story and a history.
BodyTalk takes into consideration your whole-story. Your lifestyle, genetics and history are all drawn upon to establish a personalized approach to healthcare that brings about lasting change. Each session is uniquely tailored to your needs.
BodyTalk is cumulative. Your body remembers the BodyTalk session it receives, and your healing process will continue with each additional session you have.
