Thai Abdominal Massage - Chi Nei Tsang
Self-massage techniques: experience the method from within

These exercises are essential to embodying the practice and becoming a more conscious and grounded therapist.
Unlock the core of healing: learn how to treat the abdomen to transform the entire being — body, mind, and emotions.
Chi Nei Tsang is used in Asian hospitals to reduce the need for surgeries, incredible, right?
In this course you will learn how to unblock and detoxify the internal organs of your clients and patients.
Chi Nei Tsang is a profound abdominal massage technique that originates from ancient Taoist healing practices. In this course, you will learn to work directly on the internal organs through deep, precise, and sensitive touch. The abdomen is not only the physical center of the body — it is also the emotional and energetic core.
This technique helps to release physical blockages, emotional tensions, and stagnant energy stored in the internal organs. By learning Chi Nei Tsang, you’ll gain access to a powerful tool for holistic healing — one that brings relief, balance, and transformation from the inside out.
More than a massage, this is a journey into the center of the self.
What will you learn?
This training provides a comprehensive and hands-on introduction to the practice of Chi Nei Tsang. You will learn to:
• Apply abdominal massage techniques that act directly on the internal organs, fascia, and energy pathways.
• Identify and treat areas of tension, blockage, and stagnation in the abdominal region.
• Work with the Hara — the energetic center — to restore inner balance and vitality.
• Use proper body mechanics and posture to protect yourself while giving treatments.
• Incorporate breath, rhythm, and presence into your touch to support deeper release.
• Understand the emotional and energetic function of each organ according to Taoist principles.
• Practice self-massage techniques to integrate the work into your own life and deepen your somatic awareness.
This course combines theoretical foundations, hands-on techniques, and guided practice in a safe and supportive environment.
