Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an amazing compliment to utilize in a massage session because it easily supports the release of muscle tension.
Onyx’s technique is overall gentle with needling and her clients really enjoy the relaxation and quick relief experienced when acupuncture is applied within a massage.
Needle protocol has hygiene in place with one time use of disposable needles.
Acupressure applies pressure with intention to acupuncture points throughout the body. Particularly potent points are located on the arms, legs and around the head. On the feet, hands and ears there are charted maps of reflexes on these smaller body parts that correspond to larger body areas, organs and glands, so pressure to a point on the foot or hand will affect the corresponding area in the body.
Onyx will use her fingers or perhaps a silver pin to tap on the skin so there is no penetration beneath the skin, and other times she may use a crystal point in order to activate acupressure points in a massage session.
Specific points are activated to bring about physical, mental and emotional shifts. Onyx’s expertise in energy medicine interweaves the benefits of acupressure into a massage/energy healing session.
