Tui Na is a wonderful, natural way to support your child's health. This gentle massage helps their body's energy move freely, better sleep, and a calmer spirit.

Tui Na literally means push (Tui) and grasp (Na). It is the oldest medical treatment that originated in Ancient China. Along with acupuncture, qi gong, and Chinese herbal medicine, it’s one of the four main branches of traditional Chinese medicine.

It's all about encouraging the natural healing abilities of your children, promoting a sense of well-being, calming the mind, enhancing immunity, relieving pain and anxiety.

What to expect:

In this 3-hour-course you will start with a soft and inspiring sound meditation with Mariela to let you focus on your breath and be aware of your body.

Ping will continue the course with the Tui Na massage therapy where you'll learn different and practical technics using your hands, palms, fingers, and even elbows to give comforting pressure on just the right spots on your children's bodies.

You'll explore soothing touches like gentle brushing, soft presses, relaxing rubs, easy kneading, and calming rolls.

Good to know:

This course is exclusively for parents (mothers or fathers) attending without their children. All participants will engage in collective practice under the guidance of Ping.

Please bring a notebook and a pen so that you can take notes.
