Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin, metal needles to stimulate specific points (acupuncture points) on the body. Acupuncture is a component of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used to diagnose, treat and prevent disease. TCM is based on the belief that the body's vital energy (qi) flows along energy pathways (meridians) in the body to maintain balance. When the body is healthy, qi flows smoothly, but when the qi flow is disrupted, it can cause disease or illness. Acupuncture works on improving the flow of qi, restoring balance and activating the body’s internal healing abilities. It is an effective treatment alone or in combination with conventional therapies.

Reiki meaning “universal life force energy” is an ancient Japanese form of energy healing involving the transfer of universal energy from the Reiki practitioner’s hands to the client. According to Reiki practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been illness or injury. Reiki aims to help the flow of energy and remove energetic blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure.

During the session, the Reiki practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above different areas of the client’s body. Unlike massage, the client is fully clothed and there is no manipulation of the skin tissue.
Reiki is a gentle yet extremely powerful technique which heals on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Reiki complements other types of medical and therapeutic treatments, and can increase the efficacy of other types of healing.

So what is Pilates? Pilates is a mind-body art and practice. One of the reasons it is an art is because any of the movements can be modified to suit individual needs at any given time. This is why professional dancers and athletes who are injured gravitated to this practice for recovery, restoration and injury prevention. These goals are also important for ordinary people like you, me and my clients because we too want to recover and prevent injury so we can enjoy our lives to the fullest.

We call it a practice because like with most art forms, the more you repeat the exercises, the better you get at doing them. There are deep mind-body connections or neuromuscular connections fairly unique to Pilates that take time to develop. And establishing these neuromuscular connections are what is necessary for mastery. Even at the age of 59 and after over 20 years of practice, I still have to be consistent about my practice, because like all skills, if you don't use it, you lose it. And, being in tune with and able to connect with our deepest core muscles is much too valuable a skill to lose as this affects our ability to move well and live our lives to the fullest.
