Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves the heating of acupuncture points and significant body zones or regions with smoldering mugwort herb (known as moxa). It can be used as a treatment to move obstructions causing pain or imbalances both physically and emotionally. Moxa is also used to help diagnose the root of an imbalance. Moxibustion stimulates circulation, counteracts cold and dampness in the body, and promotes the smooth flow of blood and qi. This safe, non-invasive technique may be used alone, but it is generally used in conjunction with acupuncture treatment. 
Tui Na
Tui na means "pushing grasping," and is a powerful form of Chinese medical bodywork. Based on the same Oriental medical principles as acupuncture, tui na seeks to improve the flow of qi through the meridian channels. Tui na is particularly effective for conditions involving muscles, tendons and joints, such as structural misalignment, orthopedic problems and sports injuries. It can also be used to treat internal diseases. Kristan was lucky enough to complete advanced studies in Mongolian and Tibetan massage techniques with a Master Chua Ka teacher in Beijing and Tong Liao.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient technique, used in many cultures, in which a special cup is applied to the skin and held in place by suction. The suction draws superficial tissue into the cup, which may either be left in place or moved along the body. Cupping brings fresh blood to the area and helps improve circulation. Traditional cupping, sometimes referred to as “fire cupping," uses heat to create a vacuum-like suction inside of glass cups. 
Qigong
Qigong means "life energy cultivation" and is traditionally seen as a method to cultivate and balance qi. The practice involves rhythmic movement, focused breathing, and concentrated awareness. Qigong is a safe and gentle meditative exercise that promotes healing of the mind and body. There are many schools or forms of Qi Gong, Kristan has experience in multiple forms, with specialized training in Medical Qi Gong practices as they relate to Oncology and health cultivation.
