I am working towards a Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yo San University, reclaiming the ancestral wisdom of my Taiwanese forebears. In this multi-year process of deep and rigorous study of Chinese herbology, acupuncture points and Daoist philosophy, I have completed the complete four-level training in the InfiniChi® system. This Chinese healing modality is 5,000 years old, and I am trained in all four levels of this system the lineage of the Ni family, granted permission to practice by the Dean of the InfiniChi program at the College of Tao. I am also a certified Self-Healing Qi Gong teacher and Level 2 teacher of the International Taoist Meditation Institute. Learn more about InfiniChi®

Tuina is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy often used in tandem with Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, Qigong and Tai Qi. It is a hands-on modality using acupressure with the purpose of bringing the body into balance. The practitioner uses range of motion, traction, massage, stimulation of acupressure points etc., to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many other medical issues. During a session, practitioners may employ techniques that vary in force ranging from deep pressure to gentle tapping and stroking. To enhance the effect of the bodywork, practitioners may also apply special herbal oils, compresses, or herbal patches.
There have been many scientific studies to examine the benefits of Tuina and an abundance of evidence that it is effective in boosting mood, improving blood circulation, reducing neck pain, relieving lower back pain, alleviating symptoms of osteoarthritis, easing carpal tunnel syndrome, treating musculoskeletal disorders, treating diabetic foot issues, and enhancing the quality of life in people with cancer.
Dani Lunn says the body is an oracle. You carry all the elements within you, circulating through your rivers of energy with thousands of years of ancestral wisdom. I do not heal you - that would be arrogance on my part. I am of service to the indwelling knowledge you embody. Together, we re-align your being: you by allowing yourself to release what does not serve you and return to equilibrium, me by inviting cosmic Qi to support your process.
