Joy Matalon, LMT, CST, a specialist in mind-body integration and healing, recently became certified in Process Acupressure—a modality that addresses whole-being health and consciousness from the perspective of individual soul wisdom. It is purported to assist in helping people connect to their deep intuition and true selves.

“Process Acupressure is based on the idea that the body, mind and soul are linked and that the state of one has an effect on the others,” explains Matalon, a licensed massage therapist for 40 years, specializing in CranioSacral Therapy at her practice in Ossining. Her sessions that use Somato-Emotional Release and Process Acupressure allow chronic physical, emotional and spiritual issues to be intimately explored, bringing clients relief from pain and activating a healing process that continues afterward.

“During a session, I apply firm, gentle finger pressure to specific acupoint combinations and encourage the client to notice what they are experiencing,” relays Matalon. “An organic change often occurs through a shift in the body, bringing insight toward past limiting patterns. This new perspective allows for personal clarity as well as a stronger flow of energy through the whole being. The objective of process work is for the client to come to a more conscious understanding of themselves.”
