My first experience with Junnon's practice (and I must emphasize experience) was straight massage…read more To begin with, Junnon is a force of nature. She has a good sense of humor, deep knowledge about her subject, and a lot of experience. And she is incredibly compassionate. If you are considering going to her for a massage, do go. But you must understand that it is a bit like thinking you need to take a walk around the block to cool your head, and instead you learn a lot about your body, (in a non-officious way) how to manage some of your habitual body stresses, and you actually end up floating home.
My first massage with her was unlike any previous massage I had ever had for the intelligence and care with which she approached the massage. I have a small frame and went to her with a lot of tension. The beneficial effects were long lasting. She also worked on my mother and my husband, who both carry a lot of tension (my mother is a mother, and my husband is in finance)--both lament that they have not been able to find the same level of massage since.
When I told Junnon that I was diagnosed as borderline pre-diabetic, she said she would check me out through a series of energy techniques and concurred with the diagnosis. She then prescribed some very simple exercises for me, which take about a minute morning and evening. She said that if I practiced consistently, I would see that my next doctors visit would show improvement. I did do them religiously (because I trusted her), and found at my next checkup I I was out of the woods without having to sacrifice my chocolate! I continue the exercises given my genetic history and feel very grateful to Junnon, especially since doctors in my family recommended taking tablets for preventative measures.
I am now in New York, otherwise I'd see her as regularly as I visit my doctor for general checkups, and for massage besides!
