Synergos Counseling & Wellness Center

Acupressure utilizes the same principles as acupuncture without needles. One major difference is that your acupressurist attends your entire session talking with you through the use of interventions providing process-oriented explanations coupled with suggestions on how to utilize the interventions at home. Acupressure is performed while the client is fully clothed, lying on a massage table. Pressure is applied to energy points on the body with the practitioner’s hands and fingers, two points at a time. Erin utilizes Usui Reiki, which is the original form of Reiki originating in Japan. Clients are fully clothed while lying on a massage table. She uses her hands to apply Reiki energy to areas of the body in which the client identifies limitations. Her hands are lightly placed, or hover over, areas of concern for the client. During a session, a client may experience deep relaxation and a feeling of relief both during and after the session leading to improved daily functioning.
