Your choice of a one-hour Zen Shiatsu or Amma massage from Nik Gruswitz.

Nik is a graduate of the Asian Bodywork Therapy Program at Elements of Healing in Essex Junction, VT. He specializes in Zen Shiatsu acupressure, Amma massage therapy, qi gong, meditation, and knows other supplementary techniques.

Zen Shiatsu acupressure consists of stretches, strokes, and pressure. Pressure can be applied at a full range of depths, easily adjusted to your preference and health. It is performed on a floor mat and you will be asked to wear non-restrictive clothing.

Amma therapy is a form of massage with roots 5,000 years old, and is still being refined today. Amma is practiced on a massage table, and like Shiatsu, does not use oils. Amma is simple, soothing, and highly effective.

Nik's patients say:

"Nik's insights into the body (and its connections to the mind and spirit) are remarkable—and they lead to wonderful, even transformative, massage treatments. Nothing has ever been able to help my neck pain for more than a few days, but Nik's treatments have truly changed my body, bringing lasting relief from the stubborn, chronic pain that has plagued me for decades."

"After my first treatment, the flowers actually looked brighter."

"Nik's massage means a lot to me; as someone who suffers from a good deal of stress and pain, his massage contributes to my health care and gradually releases this struggle. He is knowledgeable and intuitive."
