No-needle Acupuncture

Acupressure (non-needle acupuncture) and bodywork can be used in conjunction with acupuncture or on it’s own if you don’t like needles.

Lee-Ana’s bodywork training has developed from a grounding in Tuina (Chinese massage), Qigong (breath and qi exercises), Taiji (slow moving martial art). Vipassana meditation and traditional Māori bodywork have also influenced the way she works. Tuina and Māori bodywork both use pressure points which could be seens as a form of no needle acupuncture or acupressure.
Cupping and Moxa are both techniques that can be used where appropriate as well as work with stone tools used as implements for pressure, vibration/stimulation and or Guasha (scraping technique).
Various techniques may be used, from light relaxation, qi or energy work to deep tissue. Qi work may involve work off body energy work and distance healing/clearing is also available - contact Lee-Ana for details.

Simple exercises in breathing, stretching, acupressure, visualisations etc may be given where particular areas need some self work. Meditation techniques may also be drawn on as needed.
