Chi Kung Massage
2 hours | Cost: $270
Holistic Chi Kung massage helps shed the armor of grief, and open our hearts to more joy. The massage will aid you in feeling confident, safe and free from emotional burdens that you may be holding onto.
Holistic Chi Kung massage is a somatic treatment that focuses on meridian lines. In Chinese body mapping, meridians are energy pathways corresponding to different organs throughout the body. When a pathway gets blocked, massaging and applying pressure to these meridians and reflex points has the potential to unblock stagnation, release pain and move energy.
These meridian lines correspond not only to the organs themselves, but also to the emotional body. The focus is to instigate “qi” (energy) throughout the body for more health and vitality.
Our lives are filled and our bodies imprinted with our emotional experiences. We may not notice that after time, after dealing with a range of emotional experiences, we begin to become more “armored” due to not feeling safe. This can translate to blockages in the visceral body (our organs), or holding onto certain emotional experiences.
One of the main healing points to the Chi Kung massage treatment is to address sexual trauma. You may wonder why this place is of any importance at all, but our sexual center is where our life force begins and where our true essence lies. No matter what our gender might be, we sometimes forget about how this area has impacted our lives. We can experience wounding through birthing a child, a sexual experience, surgery, feeling rejected, disrespected, inappropriately touched (the list goes on). There are many faces to how we might experience sexual trauma, and how it ultimately affects our internal and external lives.
Over a prolonged time, trauma can lead to health issues and a drop in vitality. You may start experiencing emotional and psychological issues such as low libido, physical pain, challenges with connecting (to yourself and others) and loss of fulfillment. This can trickle into your everyday life and negatively impact your work, finances, relationships and intimacy.
Kamila’s experience facilitating and supporting her clients through this medium has been one of the most profound experiences of her career. Receiving the treatment herself, she understands the sensitivity around the wounds and traumas being treated and the trust required to help her clients through this massage. She will help you unlock areas of numbness in your body, open your heart and help you become more confident in expressing your desires. Sometimes we have barriers up and this process can take some time, Kamila will meet you where you need most support and love.

Before the treatment
You will be sent an intake form to fill out and return. You will have the opportunity to connect with Kamila with any questions or concerns about this treatment (via text, email or phone call), and what you wish to gain from it. She wants you to get the most from this, so don't hesitate to connect.
Day of the treatment
It’s suggested that you come to this treatment on an empty stomach, to allow for energy to move freely without your stomach using energy for digestion. It’s recommended to eat 2 hours before your session begins, and to enjoy a light meal.
Kamila will review your intake form, and explain/show the points she will touch on in this treatment. She will also ask about your comfort level working on the sexual centre (referred to the 'cradle of life') during this session. Though this is very important to the treatment itself, if you aren't ready to work there, you have every opportunity to express this at the beginning and during the treatment.
During the treatment, you will be prompted to 'breathe in' when these points are pressed. You might also hear Kamila using her own breath to guide you. After working on the feet, it is customary to cleanse the energy. Kamila will go to wash her hands with cold water and you will have an opportunity to use the restroom if needed or have a drink of water. When the front body is worked on, after the face and breast/chest, there will be a strong focus on the belly. This is deeply meditative and restorative to the whole body. At the very end the ‘cradle of life’ is worked on, if permission is given. Here you will experience sweeping movements and stimulation of Qi(energy) in your power center which will be explained in detail at the beginning of the treatment itself.
You might notice heat and energy movement in your whole body and extremities. Kamila will prompt you to breathe and/or use your voice during this time. This is done to move an energetic block that might be experienced as a sensed ache, pain or emotion. Some common energetic reactions might be twitching, laughter, tears, or random body movements.
After the treatment
When the treatment is concluded, Kamila will use warm compresses to cleanse your feet and womb space. She will ground your body with a whole body compression, and cleanse the space and your body with some palo santo (which cleanses and attracts positive and beneficial energies). After you are dressed you will be offered a glass of water and a piece of chocolate, and will have some time to chat about your experience. This treatment might leave you feeling hungry, so if you tend towards hypoglycemia, bring yourself a snack to have after.
A day or two after your session, Kamila will connect to see how you are feeling. If anything came up after your session, you can discuss that with her at this time.
This treatment is most powerful when scheduled around a full, or new moon. Come with an intention. For a full moon, reflect on what you would like to release. For a new moon, focus on what you'd like to welcome into your life. This treatment can be profoundly effective as a one-time treatment, but you may notice that having a series of treatments may result in life altering changes. This is a beautiful tool for moving through difficult times of life, and/or body centered challenges.
