This 2 day workshop is given by Pat McLeod. Pat initially took her training in Tui Na Massage with Mauro Pontarollo, R.AC, R.TCMP and has been providing Tui Na Massage treatments since 2002. In Dec 2003, Pat took her first Tong Ren Therapy training with Tom Tam and has pursued self directed studies in anatomy and physiology of the human body, continued her training with Tom Tam in Boston and Nanaimo, and treated many clients both in her studio and at a distance over the telephone ever since. In the spirit of the Tong Ren community, Pat has been offering free Tong Ren GP Healing sessions in the Nanaimo area since 2004. Recent “Tui Na Massage for the Tom Tam Healing System” workshops were held in Edmonton/Two Hills, Alberta in April 2010, Nanaimo, BC in May 2010, Bellevue, WA in August 2010 and Nanaimo, BC in September 2010. Pat has been informally teaching people to do Tong Ren treatments during the nearly 7 years of offering Tong Ren GP Healing sessions and has held her first “Tong Ren – Basic Principles” workshop in February 2011 in Nanaimo BC. For her workshops, Pat has created two support manuals to provide detailed information for students – “Tui Na Massage” and “Tong Ren Healing – Basic Principles” both part of the Tom Tam Healing System.
