Flow Stone Treatments: Move Your Ocean
FlowBodywork & Wellness offers a unique Flow Stone Treatment and one-on-one Wellness mentoring.
The Flow Stone Treatment is inspired by traditional Gua Sha.Flow practitioner, Ashley, learned traditional Gua Sha from her mentor in 2015 and she uses traditional and modern applications during the treatment.
This gentle,full body treatment helps the nerves, lymph and blood "re-calibrate into balance". Flow stone treatments are done by gliding an oiled stone tool over the skin to move fluids and release tension in soft tissue. It has also been called “moving the ocean” as it“squeegees” the lymph and blood. It can be done gently to increase circulation, reduce stress in the body and provide a“balancing effect” for the emotions. For acute injuries, the onset of a cold/flu and trouble areas with chronic pain, a more aggressive application may be recommended which is more of a traditional application of Gua Sha.
Ashley attained a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition:Didactic Program in Dietetics in 2012. In addition to her formal nutrition education she uses folk medicine, effects of hot and cold water (hydrotherapy) and modifications to diet, exercise and supplements to improve overall wellness.
