There are moments in life when your body speaks louder than your thoughts — when fatigue, stress, and emotional weight no longer whisper, but roar. I walked into Arc Holistic Wellness carrying that weight. I walked out… lighter, clearer, connected. Not just to myself, but to something far deeper.
I had heard about Meridian massage before — whispered in wellness circles like a sacred ritual. But nothing could have prepared me for the profound shift I felt when I finally experienced it at Arcc.
The Space That Holds You
From the moment I stepped into Arc Holistic Wellness, I sensed I wasn’t just in another spa. The air carried stillness. The interiors whispered calm. There was intention in every detail. And at the heart of it all was Justin Dee, a former corporate geek who decided to step off the hamster’s wheel of routine and stress transforming himself as the visionary founder of Arc Holistic Wellness. His deep-rooted passion for holistic healing lays the foundation for this sanctuary.
“This body of ours—this fragile yet miraculous vessel—is our only channel to experience life’s profound beauty,” Justin shared with me.“This truth fuels my mission: to deliver holistic, effective solutions that nurture lasting wellbeing for the people.”
And with that, the journey began.
The Meridian Touch
Unlike conventional massages that focus solely on muscle relief, the Meridian massage felt… alive. Ancient yet intuitive. Each stroke seemed to speak to parts of me that had long gone unnoticed — tightness in my shoulders that wasn’t just physical, but emotional; a knot in my stomach that seemed to dissolve into breath.
“Meridian therapy doesn’t just treat physical symptoms,” Justin explained.
“It addresses the root emotional imbalances that contribute to our physical wellbeing.”
As the therapist worked along the meridian lines — invisible rivers of energy that flow through our bodies — I felt sensations and emotions ripple through me. Tingles, releases, warmth, even waves of emotion. At one such vulnerable moment when the therapist began to work with my organs (my uterus in point here) I felt a profound overflow of deep buried pain and hurt that I began to cry unconsolably. My womb had stored so much suffering and trauma for years that my kind therapist had to pause the treatment and hug me for comfort. I was crying like a child. I realised that I wasn’t just being massaged. I was being read. My energy was being realigned, helping me to create internal space for my highest good and wellbeing.
Energy, Emotions, and the Body’s Truth
Justin’s words stayed with me: “Each major meridian is associated with specific emotions. The liver with anger. The lungs with grief. The kidneys with fear. To truly heal the body, you must honour the emotions stored within it.”
It hit me — how often do we numb these emotions, suppress them, or ignore the body’s way of telling us it needs care?
With each press and release, I began to feel those emotions rise to the surface — not in overwhelm, but in liberation. The massage became a mirror, reflecting not just the aches in my body, but the unspoken stories etched into them.
Healing That Lasts
In a world cluttered with fleeting trends and quick fixes, the Meridian massage felt like a return to something ancient, elemental, primal and timeless. A method that honours the intelligence of the body and the emotions it carries.
“Think of it as jumpstarting the body’s self-healing capacity,” said Justin.
“Meridian therapy restores and balances the flow of Qi, your vital energy.”
And restore it did. I left Arc Holistic Wellness not just relaxed, but reborn. My mind clearer. My breath deeper. My heart open.
A Final Reflection
If you’re new to the world of Meridian massage, come with curiosity, not expectation. Let go. Trust the process. Allow your body to speak.
“What I hope people take away,” Justin told me, “is a transformative understanding of wellbeing — where they start to cultivate a deeper connection with their body.”
That’s exactly what I found. And once you feel that connection, it’s impossible to go back.
