For those looking for expert fertility acupuncture in Los Angeles, CA, this clinic provides compassionate, results-driven treatment tailored to your individual needs. How Does Acupuncture Work? From a Western perspective research has demonstrated that this treatment stimulates the brain to produce natural opiates called endorphins. Further investigation has demonstrated that acupuncture not only affects pain but also regulates a wide variety of body systems: •The relaxed feeling one gets from acupuncture comes from sedation of the sympathetic nervous system, or the “flight or fight response”. This helps de-stress, and physiologically improves blood circulation, muscle tightness and digestion, just to name a few. •Acupuncture has also been shown to affect a wide variety of hormones including those that control ovulation and menstruation due to its effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPOA). •Acupuncture affects neurochemicals such as serotonin that, among other things, affect mood and mental states. •It is not just any acu-points that will have these effects. The ancients knew that specific acu-points were indicated for specific functions. Research with real time fMRI of the brain have demonstrated that the classic indications for points are accurate. For example, a point two inches above the wrist on the top side of the forearm (SJ5) is classically recommended for hearing problems. When this point is stimulated it strongly affects the audio cortex. This kind of research has been done on many specific points based on classic indications. Interesting?

Massage Therapy has been widely used around the world for centuries. It is practiced in Spas, Resorts, Gyms, & Private Homes. A huge diverse clientele use Massage Therapy for all its benefits, from an exhausted business person at the end of a long hard day, to an over-stressed parent, to professional athletes. Please let me hear from you to set up an appointment to see how Massage Therapy can benefit you. I practice Massage Therapy from my home and have the opportunity to work out of several privately owned businesses. Out calls; In call with special arrangements only My massage style has been described as: Revitalizing Rejuvenating Uplifting My modalities are Swedish, Deep Tissue, A.I.S., & Sports Massage Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It uses a firm but gentle pressue to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation. Swedish massage employs five different movements:* long, gliding strokes* kneading of individual muscles* friction* hacking or tapping* vibration. The therapist generally uses massage oil to facilitate making long, smooth strokes over the body. Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots. It shouldn't hurt, but it's likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. The AIS technique is a method of holding each stretch for only 2 to 3 seconds allowing a maximal blood flow in and out of the muscles, therefore increasing the elasticity of muscle joint and fascia. The result is instantaneous and clients feel the benefits of Active Isolated Stretching in short and long terms. It is extremely efficient and requires the client’s active participation.

Craniosacral / Emotional / Trauma Release

Spiritual Counseling

I work with people who are interested in their own personal evolution. If you have symptoms, I will partner you in getting to the bottom of the root causes. If you are stuck in something, whether it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual I will assist you in finding your flow again. Your sessions are completely confidential. I work gently and intuitively to ease you through your discomfort. Holistic Healing and Spiritual Counseling are not “new” – many of us are seeking alternatives to “traditional western forms of medicine” (pills and procedures). Increasingly we find this way does not meet our needs. We’re unable to feel content or to overcome events from our past. We have pain that does not go away and is undiagnosed and seemingly undefinable. Whether our pain is physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, we just want it to stop. Pills and procedures no longer mask the symptoms and may never have addressed the root of our needs. We know we need help but are not able to activate our own ability to heal or even understand the things that are facing us. Sometimes we need an outside observer and a safe place to explore what’s really going on under our radar in order to heal, evolve and gain perspective. Teresa Jayne can provide that space. Teresa Jayne has been practicing Holistic Healing, Craniosacral Healing Therapy and Spiritual Counseling for 20 years. Teresa has helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and groups with her intuitive combination of therapies, including: • Spiritual Counseling for Individuals and Couples • Craniosacral Therapy • Physical Trauma Release • Emotional Trauma Release • Grief Counseling • Holistic Alignment • Energetic Rewiring • Karmic Healing • Shamanic Healing • Earth Energy Healing Teresa is known for her highly intuitive skills, her deeply grounded presence and her ability to gently guide you to your own inner wisdom and authenticity.

Teresa is very effective in assisting you in releasing the pain, stress and tension of body, mind and spirit.
