The Essence of Qi : Jing AcuTouch

This is a form of Eastern Bodywork that Cheri Haines developed out of her many and varied experiences in the field of Asian Bodywork Therapy(ABT). The inspiration of this work came mostly from her teachings with Jeffrey Yuen. Like all sessions with Cheri, clients remain clothed. An assessment is made to determine which layer(s) of qi are best to address for your particular focus/situation. Working directly at the most appropriate layer of qi is working at The Essence of Qi. The layer/level of Qi and your own comfort level determines the type of touch and techniques used throughout the session. Varied Eastern Bodywork techniques (liked varied touch - light to deep, acupressure or massage and different meridian systems) are chosen to best address your focus.

Acupressure definition from Webster's : the application of pressure (as with the thumbs or fingertips) to the same discrete points on the body stimulated in acupuncture that is used for it's therapeutic effects (as the relief of tension or pain).
