This Chinese body care therapy addresses the whole body or specific areas for remediation of illness, muscular and joint disharmonies, numbness of toes or fingers, postural alignment, post trauma, psycho-somatic symptoms (adynamic or burn-out conditions, anxiety and restlessness, digestive issues), and mere enjoyment.

The classical method of Tui na is to massage patient, fully clothed (which I will do using my Massage Chair), and even the chiropractic methods are utilized, in China. I have adapted my style to be lying down, prone, supine or on the side, without clothes on, using a sheet to cover those areas that I am not massaging.

Tui Na, which means “push-pull” and (from the I-Ching), “joyous lake”, uses a grasping mode for major muscle groups, acupressure along the Backshu Points on the back and various points on the limbs, neck, chest and abdomen (when needed), as well as a Nei-fa method along spine (myal-fascial) to release nerve tension and invigorate certain organ function. For asthmae, I use a cupping technique with my hand; and for gluteal points and some back points, I will use elbows for deep work, when needed. Pressure is adapted to the body-type and the desires of client.

Tui Na Massage is a maintenance, passive workout for wellbeing, typically. I have clients, statewide, who come to see me whenever they are in Cambria. Many will not go elsewhere. My studio is clean and quiet, and I am here to facilitate your transformative capacity through intention, skill and agape love.

May you find your way to Cambria, and may we meet in this field of potential.

Namaste, Jeannine Jacobs
