A light hand, aimed at the whole body.
The hands-on energy work is the one she is known for, built on that same gentle shift. What matters most is where the hand is aimed.
The attention is on the whole: the movement of qi and blood, and the main organ systems (the zangfu) the classical texts organise the body around. She starts where you feel the pain or discomfort, but it is rarely the only place she works.
Her hands follow the openings the body already has, rather than pushing against it.
The hand moves the way cloud drifts, layer by layer through the whole body.
For illustration
Three principles, as her teacher taught them.
The whole, not the part
The starting point is the body as one connected system. Rather than taking a symptom at face value, she looks at what set it off, and at how the cause and the symptom move with each other. The symptom on its own is never the whole story.
Modelled on nature
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, illness is like silt in a river, blocking the channel, and your health is the flow. Wherever the channel blocks is where symptoms surface, so the work is on the channel rather than on the symptom.
Light, like wind through a willow
The hands work to set the whole body's qi moving. It looks gentle, and it is: still water running deep. As the classical line has it: the greatest sound is silence, the greatest form has no shape.
