The Work

Ren massage is a holistic bodywork technique that combines many East Asian modalities such as, but not limited to: Shiatsu, Zen Shiatsu, Tuina, cupping, guasha and moxibustion therapy, and use Aroma therapy as a complimentary modality (diffusion, external application on acu-points or as massage oil). Our focus is to address the root / the cause of the client’s discomfort instead of addressing solely the symptoms. Each session is tailored to the particular needs of the client and the healing process is profound and long lasting. Injury prevention, prophylactic treatment and therapeutic movement suggestions are included in our 60 or 90 minutes sessions.
