I am so excited to be able to add a new style of massage to the treatments that I offer on my clinic days.
Tui Na is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that works not only with the muscles, connective tissues and joints of the body, but also encouraging healthy Qi flow through the meridian system. This is a vigorous form of body work (tui na means to push and pull) and is offered over clothing without any oil.
It’s an invigorating treatment for health maintenance.

Spring is governed by the Chinese phase of wood - it’s a time of growth and adaptability. Related to the connective tissues within the body our forms embrace a certain elasticity and mobility.

This workshop will also include a guided relaxation and traditional Chinese medicine tips on how to stay healthy through this season.
