*New treatment alert*

Facial or Body Rejuvenation Treatment - 1 hr. 15 min Gua Sha with Rose Helichrysum Oil plus Acusculpting ™

The Acusculpting ™ protocol is designed to firm and shape tissues through the application of filament-fine stainless steel needles which stimulate the production of collagen and cell regeneration at the site of insertion (which often causes a plumping effect). Acusculpting ™ is a method of rejuvenation acupuncture that can be done on the face and body, developed by Victoria practitioner Dr. Illya Borreson from direct teachings in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Tianjing and Shanghai, China. Treatments not only have an effect on the particular area, but often use acupuncture points that have an overall effect on the body and organ systems.

The treatment begins with the application of a skin nourishing rose and helichrysum oil blend, followed by a gentle Gua Sha treatment on the face, or more vigorous if treating cellulite areas such as legs or abdomen. Gua Sha utilizes a jade or rose quartz flat stone tool to glide over the tissue, encouraging circulation and the release of stagnation. In the west, we would refer to concepts such as lymphatic drainage and fascial smoothing or gliding. Finally, Acusculpting ™ is done with acupuncture needles that are inserted along contour lines, wrinkles, cellulite or scar tissue, with time to relax and renew.

It is recommended that this style of treatment be done as a package in close sequence for best results.

Calyx approaches Chinese medicine as a lifelong study of nature: a symphony of elements, meridians, organs and processes. Patterns in nature and their seasonal cycles can correlate with how we observe and diagnose the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. When change comes to our lives, whether through hormonal cycles, pain, fatigue, chronic conditions, or unanticipated emotions, it is helpful to have a collaborator who is skilled in observing, listening, asking questions, and applying knowledge from this lens of Chinese medicine. Calyx earned dual degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture and Western Phytotherapy (Clinical Herbalism) from Pacific Rim College.

Calyx values compassion and confidentiality, while fostering an intelligent understanding of our strengths and wounds. Prior to her acupuncture studies, Calyx co-facilitated therapeutic nature excursions for youth in addiction and mental health recovery, giving her the tools to navigate the terrain of peoples’ significant life events.

Calyx’s background in bodywork [TCM Tui Na (meridian massage), Ayurvedic marma point massage, basic Swedish effleurage, and level one Jin Shin Do acupressure] and art (B.FA., Emily Carr University of Art + Design), have led Calyx to appreciate the creative, dynamic, and interdependent processes of being alive.

The body is the meeting ground of physiological, psychological processes and environmental factors that contribute to your whole health picture.
Calyx creates an atmosphere in the treatment room where you have the potential to return to your original nature (yuan benxing).

Erika’s bio:

As a registered massage therapist, my mission is to support your journey towards feeling your best. I specialize in massage techniques that not only alleviate physical tension but also promote nervous system down regulation and deep relaxation to facilitate healing in the body.

I understand that stress can have a profound impact on both the body and mind. My therapeutic approach focuses on creating a calming environment that fosters balance within the nervous system. By utilizing techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue therapy, and myofascial release, I aim to help clients connect with their bodies, release chronic tension, and restore a sense of inner peace that you can bring into your daily life.

I believe that reducing stress is an essential component of overall health. My sessions are designed to encourage the body’s natural healing processes by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing you to unwind and rejuvenate. I am passionate about educating my clients on the importance of self-care practices that complement our work together, helping you sustain feelings of being well beyond the treatment room.

Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, reducing anxiety, or simply taking time for yourself, I am here to support you on your wellness journey.
