Chi Nei Tsang
My most comprehensive offering combines eastern and western abdomen based modalities to reveal the connections between your physical patterns and life experiences. This gentle yet profound approach focuses particularly on the abdomen—the core of your body where we often store tension, emotions, and unprocessed experiences.
What is Chi Nei Tsang?
An ancient Taoist healing practice that translates to “working with the energy of the internal organs”. This gentle yet profound abdominal therapy blends physical and energetic techniques to support your body’s natural healing processes. CNT practitioners use careful touch to help release tension, improve organ function and restore energy flow in your core — where many of use store both physical and emotional stress.
What is Visceral Manipulation?
Visceral manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that works with the body’s internal organs and their surrounding tissues. Think of your organs as needing space to slide and glide in relation to each other as you move. When restrictions develop they can affect everything from posture to digestion. Through precise, gentle touch, we help restore proper mobility to these vital structures allowing your body to function more efficiently.
