When a patient comes to me, firstly I listen to him attentively to clearly understand why he isn't satisfied and what he'd like to achieve. Secondly, I'm inspecting him and then determine in which zones of the body there are clamps, and which zones, on the contrary, are too active. Depending on this, I design my future work. The fact is that if one or another energy channel is closed, a person cannot give off energy, it's accumulated inside him, and whatever he does, no matter how he tortures himself with diets and exercise stress, he cannot lose weight.
With the help of palms and ten fingers I work with energy channels and zones of activation and stabilization. I work with the invisible - with the unused resources of the body, determining by touch, where it's warm and where it's cold. "Cold" - means the blocked energy or resource, which the body cannot use. By directing information from my fingertips to these zones and clearly dispensing energy, I bring the body into a balanced state.
