Manual osteopathy aims to treat the root causes of discomfort or dysfunction, not just the symptoms. Practitioners accomplish this by using manual techniques including myofascial release, joint mobilization, and muscular energy techniques that increase mobility in troubled areas. These techniques enhance circulation throughout the body and lower inflammation.

To address underlying issues producing pain or discomfort, manual osteopaths may also utilize additional treatments, such as stretching exercises and posture correction techniques. To establish a unique treatment plan for each patient, these treatments are frequently paired with lifestyle recommendations about food, exercise, and stress management.


Zen-Shiatsu Therapy

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork technique performed fully clothed on a massage table or mat. It uses finger, hand, elbow, knee, and foot pressure along the body’s meridians (energy pathways) to release blockages and restore the flow of "ki" (life force energy). Gentle stretches and varied pressure are tailored to your comfort. Shiatsu promotes deep relaxation, stimulates healing, ... Read More

Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese bodywork technique performed fully clothed on a massage table or mat. It uses finger, hand, elbow, knee, and foot pressure along the body’s meridians (energy pathways) to release blockages and restore the flow of "ki" (life force energy). Gentle stretches and varied pressure are tailored to your comfort.

Shiatsu promotes deep relaxation, stimulates healing, and supports both physical and emotional balance. It can calm the nervous system, aid digestion, and improve circulation — helping you feel more connected and at ease in your body.

Benefits include:

Reduced pain and tension

Improved mobility and posture

Emotional release and mental clarity

Increased energy and overall well-being

What does it feel like?
Shiatsu feels both grounding and energizing. By stimulating acupressure points along the body’s meridians, it works similarly to acupuncture — but without needles. Pressure is applied using touch to influence the flow of energy, creating a sense of alignment, openness, and deep inner calm.

Meditation

Mindfulness
Breathing techniques

Blaise’s journey into healing began with a lifelong study of movement, posture, and energetic flow. With over 15 years of experience teaching Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Blaise developed a deep understanding of how habitual patterns and subtle imbalances in the body can impact overall health. His work is grounded in the belief that healing is a partnership—one that requires both intuitive presence and technical precision.

Originally drawn to movement-based arts for their meditative and therapeutic qualities, Blaise discovered Manual Osteopathy as a natural extension of his work. He was inspired by the discipline’s focus on alignment, gentle touch, and whole-body integration.

Education & Professional Training

Blaise is a graduate of the 2200-hour Manual Osteopathy program at the National Academy of Osteopathy, where he trained in musculoskeletal assessment, joint mobilization, visceral manipulation, and myofascial release. His treatments are shaped by his background in biomechanics and years of one-on-one client care through movement therapy.

In both his osteopathic practice and Tai Chi instruction, Blaise emphasizes posture, movement efficiency, and awareness of daily habits that can lead to dysfunction or pain. His treatments are gentle, precise, and designed to promote long-term healing by addressing the root causes of imbalance.

A Holistic & Collaborative Approach

Blaise encourages clients to become active participants in their healing journey. He pays close attention to ergonomics, emotional stressors, and the body’s natural rhythms, creating treatment plans that are as practical as they are restorative. His calm and compassionate presence helps clients feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Movement, Music & Mind-Body Awareness

When he’s not in the clinic, Blaise continues to explore the intersections of movement and well-being through music, athletics, and mindfulness practices. He believes that physical, emotional, and energetic health are deeply interconnected—and this belief informs every aspect of his work.

Supporting Your Journey Back to Balance

Blaise’s mission is to help clients feel more at home in their bodies—aligned, resilient, and at ease. By blending the wisdom of movement traditions with the science of manual therapy, he offers care that is thoughtful, effective, and rooted in the body’s innate ability to heal.
