This is the 6 Day Chi Nei Tsang Masterclass for returning CNT students and other professional bodyworkers with training and experience in somatic bodywork and massage therapy.

​

In this course I will be teaching an advanced sequence, and it is only suitable for practitioners who have completed a level 1 CNT training and for other trained and experienced professional bodyworkers and massage therapist with experience in the field of somatic bodywork and massage therapy.

​

As a massage therapist and somatic bodyworker with nearly 40 years of experience in the field, CNT has become my go to modality for every chronic health condition and emotional or psychological problem that my clients present.

​

I initially trained in CNT in 2010 in Chiang Mai, and returned in 2016 for more advanced training after I had seen the difference in the life experience of my clients.

​

I combine the technical aspects of this ancient Taoist/Chinese medicinal massage of the organs and intestines with the knowledge gained over decades of somatic bodywork training and experience, working with the interface of body, emotions and mind.

​

In the words of Carolyn Myss, our biography becomes our biology.

​

Our bodies reflect the stories we carry, not only of our own attempts to navigate our childhood family dysfunction, and other stressful and traumatic life experiences, but also of our ancestral wounds and genetic memories of abuse, wars, poverty, hunger and disease.

​

Ida Rolfe, the founder of Rolfing, a deep tissue manipulation of fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, nerves and organs, was asked on her death bed what she would have done differently, and she said: more work in the abdomen.

​

In this training I will share my way of holding space for people during emotional release and catharsis, as well as my way of helping the client call back personal power lost in contracts and agreements and beliefs made in order to survive family dysfunction. 

​

We sacrifice and leave behind pieces of our self when our emotions are not fully accepted and allowed by our parents. We learn that if we want to keep the connection, which is the most important thing for a child, we need to suppress certain emotions, and even parts of our being.

​

This work therefore often assists in soul retrieval, a remembering of your true self. One of the best reactions I've heard from someone who received CNT: I feel like I've woken up from a coma. 

​

Blocked emotions and unprocessed trauma are seen as the primary cause of blocked and toxic chi in the abdomen.  Called energetic cysts, they can subsequently develop into chronic health conditions. Other causes are toxic environmental pollutants in the air, food, water and medications, bad eating habits, lack of exercise and stress.

​

​The 6 day training will be split into 2 with one day of rest and integration.

These courses are as much a journey into self healing and self mastery for the students as a training in techniques. 

​

I will offer the KNT training on the following Tuesday and Wednesday, 12/13 October.
