Zen Medicine
The clinic
In the clinic, Kelli uses a combination of Chinese Medicine philosophy, Acupuncture, Zen Shiatsu, Yoga Therapy, Food as Medicine, and Mindfulness.
A typical session will draw on these modalities and using diagnostic tools such as pulse, hara & channel palpation, observation of the tongue, facial area & body alignment, Kelli tailors treatment based on these diagnostic findings.
To support the client back into pain-free and heartfelt living each session at the Zen Medicine Clinic is offered according to the individual needs using deep listening and responding with appropriate treatment.
This is true Zen Medicine healing.

Zen Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu is a relaxing and strengthening body therapy developed in Japan. It uses traditional oriental diagnosis and supportive acupressure to balance the pathways of the body. Working along the meridians (energy pathways) and acupressure points in the body it is possible to rebalance the energy, releasing blockages and stagnation. Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing, uplifting, and harmonizing massage.
A treatment involves the client wearing comfortable clothes or a Japanese kimono and laying on a futon on the floor. Zen Shiatsu Massage can also include nutritional guidance and corrective exercise depending on the client's needs.
