Tuina is one of the oldest and most refined forms of therapeutic bodywork, rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). More than just a massage, Tuina is a dynamic healing art that blends a vast range of manual techniques to restore balance, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural energy flow. What sets Tuina apart is its incredible versatility in both technique and intensity. A session may include deep tissue pressure, rolling, kneading, and mobilizing the joints—or softer, rhythmic movements designed to calm the nervous system and soothe the spirit. Whether you need strong, focused work to release stubborn tension or a gentle touch to harmonize internal imbalances, Tuina adapts to meet you where you are. Practitioners skillfully apply different methods depending on your unique needs—drawing on thousands of years of clinical tradition. It can address a wide variety of conditions, from back pain and stiffness to stress, digestive issues, or fatigue. At its heart, Tuina works to unblock stagnant Qi (vital energy), stimulate circulation, and bring the body back into a state of harmony and flow.
Shiatsu is a profoundly restorative bodywork practice rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine. Grounded, meditative, and deeply intuitive, Shiatsu works not only on the physical body but also on the subtle flow of Qi—the vital life force that animates us. What makes Shiatsu unique is its listening quality: the practitioner applies gentle yet focused pressure along the meridians (energy pathways), using thumbs, palms, elbows, knees, or even body weight in a still, connected way.
The aim is not to “fix,” but to invite balance, helping the body unwind from within. Each treatment is tailored to your individual energetic state. Sessions can feel grounding and still, or quietly dynamic—depending on what you need in that moment. Shiatsu meets you where you are, whether you’re experiencing fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, pain, or simply seeking reconnection and renewal.
Performed fully clothed on a comfortable futon or mat, Shiatsu creates a space of deep presence and nonverbal communication—a conversation through touch that allows tension to melt, energy to realign, and the body to remember its natural rhythms. More than a technique, Shiatsu is a healing art—a doorway to inner quiet, embodied awareness, and profound restoration.
