Eight Extraordinary Treatment Sessions: Methods using the eight extraordinary meridians (the body has 12 regular and 8 extraordinary meridians) are particularly effective for psychological aspects and life stage growth.  Depending on the stage, for a example a Chong treatment with its corresponding point prescription may be applied during a session to facilitate nourishing self love and confidence.
Medical QiGong -- Medical QiGong is an energy medicine technique, similar to Reiki, but with theory and origins in Chinese medicine.  Medical QiGong techniques can be applied to move energetic flows in the channel, meridian, and organ systems - and in some cases can be applied remotely (Distance Medical QiGong).
I Ching (Yi Jing) - Have a life question or need direction?  Innovations to Wellness offers in-depth I Ching readings utilizing the ancient Chinese divination method remotely, by appointment.  Readings include refining your question, drawing the I Ching hexagram, and a reading and preliminary interpretation of the results.
Autoimmune Disorders -- Autoimmune conditions are difficult conditions with unknown etiology.  Chinese Medicine can help the patient repair the underlying pattern imbalances to help reduce symptoms with little to no side effects.  Since no cure has yet been determined, treatment is aimed at quality of life indicators.​
Sports and Orthopedic Assessment -- Orthopedic testing and acupressure treatment of sports and orthopedic injuries.  Using muscle testing, trigger point release, and special techniques for sports injuries, this style of assessment helps to pinpoint the location of the injury and facilitate its repair.
