She is a licensed massage therapist since 2008. Her treatments include deep tissue, acupressure, cupping, anma/shiatsu, tuina, trigger point therapy, pregnancy massage and more.  The bodywork serves to quickly mobilize one’s innate capabilities to heal primary injuries underlying chronic pains and other skeletal or neuromuscular dysfunctions. The end point is to activate the body to heal the injuries and to restore its physiological balance. The treatment, combining with exercises and stretches, also serves to prevent pains and other neuromuscular dysfunctions to become chronic.
