Chi Nei Tsang, Energy Work and Bodywork

Hello, I am Melissa and I am a dancer who also does energy and bodywork, facilitated stretching and much more. I enjoy helping people feel their best.

​

My approach to bodywork is to create a nurturing supportive environment with complete relaxation while assisting with the release muscle tension and possibly emotional release. I like to listen with my hands and then use Chi Nei Tsang, deep tissue, sports massage or whatever modality makes sense as a way to better facilitate release. 

​​

I am a certified Chi Nei Tsang practitioner. Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage is an amazing way to help release stored emotions and promote overall wellness. Chi Nei Tsang incorporates breathing technique and guided meditation along with applied Qigong. Chi Nei Tsang can be used to work on digestion, back pain, stomach issues, better sleep, relaxation and so much more. It increases your Chi/energy flow while assisting in you feeling more balanced over all. I am so happy to be able to offer this transformational work to you after studying with Gilles Marin and having classes with Master Mantak Chia. 

​​

Reiki and energy work can be specific or general.  Reiki facilitates a quiet journey for utilizing energy to assist with one's own process or with a specific issue. Reiki energy goes where it is needed in the body. You do no work other than set an intention, relax and absorb energy. Reiki can be used for relaxation or during recuperation from an illness or injury.  It is a hands-on (or off) modality where symbols are used to intensify energy. Clearing unwanted energies using other energy modalities can also be used during a Reiki session.  I am currently a level 2 practitioner and currently working on my master certification.
