About Me
CHARLEY SOMSANGUANSIT
Licensed Massage Therapist (MAT-16409)
Licensed Acupuncturist (ACU-1421)
My approach to bodywork is holistic and intentional. I believe the true power to heal comes from within. I am only here to help guide the body to this awareness. I address each client’s specific needs by listening to the body and integrating my knowledge of anatomy and physiology. I use a blend of techniques to create a personalized treatment.
I am a lifelong student and LOVE learning about the human body. I think the mind-body-spirit connection is so fascinating! My treatment style uses Japanese structural acupuncture as the foundation, but I also incorporate other acupuncture styles such as: orthopedic and sports injury, TCM pattern diagnosis, and meridian therapy.
I am deeply compassionate and seek to help my clients find peace and healing within themselves through safe touch and loving awareness.
My Philosophy
The body knows exactly how to heal itself. It has a beautiful blueprint that allows it to find home. But sometimes, our day to day movements and stress causes it to become imbalanced. It's moments like these where the body just needs a little love and guidance. Sometimes it needs a reminder that it is safe, that it can relax. Deep relaxation and contentment between all parts (mind, body, and soul) is a bliss like no other.
