This particular modality was created by my previous employer/shifu Wendy Cheng.  It's the lovechild of Western remedial massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wendy is a Western Sydney based physiotherapist and TCM practitioner. She's one of the most incisive healers I have ever met (and I've worked with many!). Her skill and intuition is laser sharp. With years of honing her skills she's developed techniques that helps accelerate the patients healing process (dependant of course on patient input). It is an absolute privilege to have been able to study under what I consider a master at her craft. 

This innovative modality is similar to other massage services I offer like Romiromi in that both target acupressure points, but Romiromi goes further into addressing ancestral healing.

Over time, through bodywork practice, I've learned to deliver treatments that are highly intuitive and complementary to the client's individuality and health profile. I won't "fix" you, but I will better position you to take greater control of your life so that you may discover how to lead a more fulfilling life within the confines that may be present. You'll feel stronger to adapt to your new normal. You'll feel other benefits too like the ones expressed by happy clients in the testimonials below. It's a service that books out for months, I highly recommend you secure a spot today!

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of health care that has been practiced for thousands of years. It focuses on understanding and harmonizing the flow of energy (Qi) in the body, often through techniques like acupressure, meridian work, and tailored movement. TCM aims to address both the underlying causes of discomfort and the symptoms, supporting your body’s innate capacity to heal.

TCM Therapeutic Massage uses skilled manual techniques to work with the soft tissues of the body. Drawing on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, it encourages the flow of energy (Qi) and body fluids, releases tension, and supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance.

This approach can assist those experiencing stiffness, muscular tension, or limited mobility due to injury, illness, or age. The massage integrates therapeutic techniques inspired by physiotherapy to promote improved function, comfort, and well-being. It may also provide psychological benefits, helping to reduce stress and support overall relaxation.

My goal is to provide a safe judgement-free space that promotes deep healing.

My mission is to help build your physical, emotional, and energetic bodies through qi(chi) manipulation and remedial bodywork.

My vision is to better position you to activate your own inner healer so that you may lead a life that you can thrive in.

What's the first step?

Prior to booking you've established with your doctor that this is right for you!

Next Step?

You make your way to your appt (or I make my way to you) and you ready your body by presenting clean and hopefully not have recently consumed a heavy meal. We begin the session with a brief consultation to get an idea of the big picture going on. First time consultations run a little a longer, however in subsequent visits I'll do a quick follow up on your progress. 

What to expect during?

We'll assess where you're at that day and how we can customize a treatment that meets you where you're at in that particular session. A session or a series of sessions may look like consistent soft tissue massage, deep tissue, or a combination. Throughout the session I'll be checking in asking how's the pressure and how are you processing. Your safety, healing, and comfort is my priority.

Clothing optional?

You have the option to remain clothed, but undressing is helpful especially for deep tissue.

Payment options?

You have the options of paying cash or tap-on-phone.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new treatment modality. TCM Remedial Massage should be considered as a complementary therapy and not a replacement for conventional medical treatments.

It’s not recommended for people who have fractures or are prone to fractures, vein inflammation, or any type of open wound (avoid this therapy when you have an open wound). It’s also not recommended for people with previous chronic back issues, such as ankylosing spondylitis. 

To assess if this massage is suitable for you as a form of therapy, speak to your doctor.
