Discover simple, natural ways to relieve tension and support your well-being. Join us for informative and relaxing workshops introducing the basics of acupressure and easy self-massage techniques you can use at home. Erin Reilly, DAIM, LaC has studied and taught qigong and self-massage since 2001, is a doctor of acupuncture, and has taught East Asian medicine at two graduate schools.

Participants will learn practical techniques they can safely practice on themselves as part of a daily wellness routine. No prior experience is necessary. This is part one of a three part series: come for one session or all three! Sign up here: https://hurleylibrary.libcal.com/event/16354063
