I wish I could give more stars, 11 out of 10, I will most definitely book with Christian again! Christian went above and beyond to release my shoulder, combining skilled massage, stretching and energy work to create more space and softness than I've felt in years.
My fiancé and I attended Dr. Dan’s Touchology workshop today. Such a knowledgeable team presenting, it was truly a magical experience. The good vibes were immaculate and abundant. The perfect mind/body/soul reset after a long work week.
Dr.Dan is a great therapist and health educator! I’ve struggled with mysterious back pain for years. Tried many therapies and massages. Not only has he helped identify what could be going on, but taught me some great stretches and other lifestyle changes I can make to help alleviate the pain.
Your first tai chi class at Orcanit Wellness
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
