Qi Healing

qihealing2''I had an open wound from a surgery to remove a form of skin cancer on my temple. My doctor suggested I get a skin graft. I contacted Maurice. After the first few treatments of energy work and acupuncture, I could really see a difference. Now, my wound is healed completely, and my doctor has cancelled my skin graft. Thanks Maurice!''

Therapies that manipulate the body’s energy field are based on the concept that human beings bathe in a subtle form of bio energy or life force. In traditional Chinese medicine this vital energy is known as Chi or Qi.

Over time disturbances in this subtle energy field may lead to pain and illness. Therapists practicing energy modalities such as Reiki, Healing Touch and Qi Healing correct imbalances in the body's internal energy field, thus restoring the flow of Qi through the meridians or energy pathways of the body.

Qi Healing facilitates a deep sense of calm and relaxation. It brings about positive changes in the physical body, ultimately improving the body’s ability to heal itself.

Qi Healing is usually done with the patient fully clothed either lying on a massage table, sitting or standing. Qi can be transmitted to the patient while applying acupressure treatments to points along the meridians, by gently holding affected areas of the body, or from a distance without any physical contact between the patient and the therapist. The most appropriate methods are chosen for treatment depending on the patient's needs, current health status, and results of an energetic assessment.

To help speed recovery patients are often taught appropriate postural, movement, breathing and mind-moving-Chi exercises to be done at home between treatments.
