I live in Vancouver, Canada and still find that many don't know what Shiatsu therapy is. I was wondering how it is in other parts of the country and the USA.

Greetings all! I am currently a MT student and have become interested in finding out more about Tui Na massage. My school no longer offers any courses in it as the instructor moved out of state. I am in NH and would be interested in finding a class or practitioner in the NH/MA/ME area who teaches Tui Na massage. Any input would be greatly appreciated as the only class I have been able to find so far is in NYC. Thanks in advance, Donna

Wondering how any of you present Asian Bodywork to your clients who are new to it.<br />
<br />
I start out by telling them AMMA Therapy(R) works along the same principles of acupuncture (explaining we use the same meridians, points, and assessment tools).<br />
<br />
I will take their pulses and look at their tongues and give them the history behind why the Chinese do this. I explain what each piece of information tells us about their body/mind/spirit. Usually by questioning them on what I feel and see in the tongue…

I will take their pulses and look at their tongues and give them the history behind why the Chinese do this. I explain what each piece of information tells us about their body/mind/spirit. Usually by questioning them on what I feel and see in the tongue and pulse I have them fascinated. Through tongue and pulse I usually have enough information to ask them about internal conditions such as digestion, diabetes,asthma etc... and then we open the door to AMMA Therapy being supportive at the organ level and not just the structural level. Many new clients I see have no idea that Asian Bodywork can address deeper conditions. (I think this is one of the things I love most about educating new clients!).<br />
<br />
If they have received acupuncture in the past, I will also explain the five elements as I take their assessment, telling them how the emotions and the body are linked, specific to the imbalance(s) with which they present.<br />
