oiyu (who also goes by “o”) is a registered clinical counsellor (rcc) and a registered acupuncturist (r.ac). after earning a master’s degree in somatic counselling psychology in 2015, they continued on to study chinese medicine, rooting their body-oriented practice in ancestral land-based healing. oiyu's approach is grounded in the intelligence of the body–the body as a vessel for transformation, a gathering site for heart-mind-spirit, a channel for intergenerational wisdom, and a microcosm for macrocosmic change.

Acupressure massage is an ancient Chinese modality that involves the use of pressure points, energy movement and focuses on improving the circulation of blood, Qi and body fluids. Compared to RMT massage, acupressure massage focuses more on spreading energy out, removing excess and replenishing cells by stimulating acupressure points that relate to certain organs and functions of the body. TCM Practitioners believe by stimulating certain points and spreading energy out, the circulation improves allowing organs to perform properly!
