The modalities
Shiang uses during her massage sessions are:

Lymphatiac drainage - is a technique using light and rhythmic gentle strokes to work with the body lymph flow by directing the flow to the lymph nodes and then eventually back to the heart. It is beneficial for deep relaxation, pain relief and edema reduction in muscles, joints and internal organs.

Currently, Shiang is not working with acute cancer patients through this modality. 

Biodynamic cranio sacral therapy - it is to embrace the concept of wholeness and create love and nurturing environment during the session through mindful breathing in order to slow down the client’s central nervous system and restore the energy flow back to harmony with brain and heart connection.  Additionally, when necessary, dialogue with the client during the session to assist the individual to locate new resources in order to reestablish safe environment and empower the individual to move forward with stillness and less fear.

Swedish massage - light and gentle circular hand strokes on superficial layers of the muscle to promote physical relaxation.

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying pressure to certain meridian points on the body to relieve pain. The human body has fourteen "meridians" that carry energy throughout the body. These meridians start at the fingertips, connect to the brain, and then connect to the organ associated with the specific meridian. Acupressure deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one, not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances the vital life forces of the body. Acupressure can help with the following:

1. Relieve stress and tension
2. Relax mind and body
3. Increase blood circulation
4. Aid in the removal of toxic wastes
5. Provide relief from head, neck and shoulder aches
6. Promote the healing of injuries
7. Increase energy levels
8. Increase overall feeling of well-being
9. Decreasing labor pains

The client lies fully clothed on a soft massage table while the practitioner presses gently on points situated on various parts of the clients body. The session is noninvasive and gentle. An average session lasts for about one hour. However, most clients normally require a number of sessions to complete a treatment.
