Positive Alternatives is a creative combination of disciplines, including Yoga positioning, Reiki, Brain Gym® movement strategies, Sensory Integrative (SI) techniques, (NDT) NeuroDevelopmental Techniques and IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure custom-tailored for your child’s optimal learning and performance. Incorporating independent, assisted or modified positions/movements helps your child to more efficiently utilize their higher cognitive functions combined with their senses (sight, sound, touch, etc). This encourages emotional stability, increased confidence, the ability to remain centered and helps to complete integration of developmental reflexes.

IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure and Reiki are non-invasive energy healing techniques utilized to bring balance to mind/body/spirit. According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fundamental life energy (which is found in food, air, water and sunlight) travels through our bodies by way of energy meridians. These are channels for energy similar to the blood vessels in our circulatory system, the nerves in our peripheral nervous system and the lymphatic vessels in our lymphatic system, and correspond to the 12 main organs in our body. TCM believes that our emotional/mental state contributes to our ability to remain healthy and that external factors such as stress, relationships, work, and past trauma (both physical and emotional) influence the balance of the flow of energy along the meridians. We remain healthy when all is in balance and become ill when internal or external events disrupt the balance in the flow of energy. Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities and unblock the circulation of energy. The healing touch of acupressure enables the body to reduce tension, increase blood and energy circulation, and relieve muscular tension enabling the body to relax deeply, relieve stress and enhance healing. This helps balance the flow of fundamental life energy, strengthen resistance to disease and promote wellness.

IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure Practitioners believe:

Individuals can manifest the highest level of health and healing within themselves.
Individuals have a personal responsibility for self-care.
Everyone has a right to holistic health care that honors the body, mind, and spirit, and respects one’s personal philosophy, beliefs, values, and cultural orientation.
Dis-ease is an opportunity for increasing one’s highest potential of health, overall well-being, and awareness of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
IGM® Therapeutic Acupressure supports conventional medicine and is a part of integrative medical services and healthcare practice options.
Healing is a process and not a state of control.
Healing balances the inter-relationship of body, mind, and spirit.
Healing is always possible and can occur without curing.
