Bodywork sessions begin with a comprehensive history and discussion – listening and sensing needs. By starting with hands-on massage, Helene is able to acquire more in-depth information about how to deliver the ideal treatment for the individual. Using intuition that comes from experience, Helene is then able to place the acupuncture points optimally. She may also choose to use other accompaniments during the sessions, including Cupping, Guasha, and Moxa. Helene’s work is grounded in all different levels – as a whole being of mind, body and soul, life energies, stress points, nutrition, and so on. She aims to see each individual in their entirety.
