Raymond Johnson
Mountain Zen Shiatsu
is the private practice of shiatsuist Raymond Johnson, a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist (NC #13209), a Certified Practitioner with the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia (
AOBTA
), and a graduate of
Zen Shiatsu Chicago
.
Zen Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that works muscles, joints, and nerves, but also energy within the meridians (known as qi). It encourages release of blockages and brings the body into a relaxed state to encourage self-healing. A shiatsu session includes rotation of limbs, stretching of muscles, and stimulating points along the meridians of the body, from the head and face down to the toes and fingers. Unlike traditional massage, shiatsu is done on a soft futon mat on the floor. You will lie down on the mat and the practitioner will engage your body, moving it around as necessary – it is a bit like having yoga done to you.

All vertebrate animals use sunlight to generate Vitamin D in their bodies. Including my dog, Olive.
I prefer to eat my vitamins and nutrients (it makes cooking a delicious puzzle to solve!), but also, many vitamin supplements bombard us with large doses that get wasted, so to speak, on a party trick of neon yellow urine. There’s also not enough conclusive research for me personally on the safety and possible effects of long term high doses of vitamins on our bodies. I will take vitamins in the short-term for certain conditions – e.g. probiotics to help rebalance an upset ...
