This is a 2-day workshop to teach Tong Ren Tui Na massage with focus on the blockage theory, how to find the blockage, and how to stimulate the blocked area in order to make the energy flow so that the body can regain its balance and heals by itself. Stimulation can be done in different forms. In addition to Tui Na, this course will also provide a stimulation technique called Acustone™ –developed by Monica Calvo through the observation of Tom Tam’s Healing System, along with the practice of Cupping and Gua Sha.
