What I do can be called Transformational Bodywork. When you come in for your appointment, you can choose to experience a particular type of bodywork or different methods may be blended in order to best achieve your goal for the session. Of course, you can always opt for a relaxation massage.

Meridian Balancing: Half-Hour for Health
Not everyone can spend an hour or more per week with me. If you want optimum health on a limited budget, here is a minimum commitment to your own well being: one half-hour per month. (If it takes more time, I only charge you for half an hour) A Meridian Balancing for $40, just once each month, can help to keep you healthy and pain-free.
What a Meridian Balancing entails:
1. I evaluate 14 major postural muscles and their related meridians. This also gives me information about the emotions, organs and body systems associated with each meridian.
2. I locate and correct stress, weakness and imbalance in the muscle/meridian system. These imbalances could lead to major health problems if not addressed.
3. You will likely feel more relaxed and energized. It's both a "check-up" and a "tune-up"!
Note: Certain medications or conditions may make this treatment difficult or inappropriate. That can only be determined in person at your first appointment.
Some conditions can't be corrected through bodywork alone. I believe, however, that this session is adequate to help most clients deal with normal stress and imbalance.
(To save even more money, take my Touch For Health Kinesiology workshop and learn to do it yourself! You can keep your whole family balanced, healthy and pain-free)
Other options
Other half-hour evaluation/treatment sessions could include an abbreviated craniosacral therapy session, a Bowen Therapy session, a neuromuscular massage therapy session focused on a specific problem area, A shiatsu session, or even a relaxing massage covering only part of the body.

Important Notice:
To avoid sales tax, please bring a written order from your M.D. (or
Chiropractor or Dentist) for massage. It should NOT have a set number of
visits. It can say something as simple as, "I recommend that this
patient receive massage for stress reduction". Without a
doctor's order, massage is subject to Ohio state sales tax, which will be in
addition to the above prices.
