Acupuncture Now Available!
An Acupuncture treatment from a Registered Acupuncturist at Restoration Station (at this time only Jennifer McGeorge R.Ac.) is from the perspective of Classical Chinese Medicine. Simply put: In this approach, which represents thousands of years of a healing art, the body is considered to have energy meridians which correspond with various organs. 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.

'Massage Therapy' without the word Registered is allowed to be used by people who are not Registered Massage Therapists.
If you are selecting this service at Restoration Station, this massage is by an excellent therapist but you many not be able to use your receipt to get any refunds from your insurance company or work coverage. You need to ask your coverage plan if they cover Massage Therapy that is not from a Registered therapist.
If you have more detailed questions on this issue please ask us directly and we will be more than happy to answer your specific questions.

Guided Meditation in the treatment room involves your practitioner guiding you verbally through a process of relaxation.
This may involve focus on any of the following: your energy centers, your surrounding energy, your muscles or bones or even taking you through a scenario of a beach or forest or other visualizations. These techniques employ calming the mind and stimulate settling of the sympathetic nervous system, increasing oxygenation to the cells and release of enorphins/opiates (good hormones).
