with Arlene Wilkinson, RMT, MMQ (China)
Transform Your Life ~ Become a Practitioner of Aromatic Plant Therapy & Chinese Energetic Medicine
Integrative Acupressure Therapy (IAT) is a holistic modality that integrates Chinese Energetic Medicine with Aromatic Plant Therapy, two ancient energetic healing modalities. IAT works with balancing Qi (energy) through breath, BodyMind awareness and healing plant therapy, along with a powerful acupressure release technique.
This hands-on modality uses gentle yet deep direct finger pressure on acu-points (energy centres) to release tension, reduce pain, increase self-awareness, and re-establish energetic balance. BodyMind awareness helps release both physical and psychological armouring. IAT is characterized by non-invasiveness, safety in touch, and a sense of harmonizing your Qi (energy). This training embodies a Five Element Approach to both support well-being and to correct chronic imbalances that have resulted in dis/ease. The integration of aromatic plant medicines to this practice adds another layer of energetic healing.
