What is Amma Therapy?

Amma Therapy is rooted in the same fundamental principals as Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, focusing on the balance and movement of energy within the body.

These techniques aim to remove blockages and free the flow of Qi, thereby restoring, promoting and maintaining optimum health.

Amma practitioners primarily rely on the sensitivity and strength of their hands to manipulate the energy, skillfully gathering information through observation of signs and symptoms, listening to the client's complaints, scanning the energy field as well as palpating the body. The goal is to create a mind/body portrait that includes structural, emotional and energetic imbalances.

An Amma session usually lasts between 60 and 75 minutes. For this full body treatment, clients wear a gown and are treated on a massage table.
