Joan Wang is our resident Tui’na expert. Formerly working with Meridian as a non-RMT, she is also amazing at traditional western Relaxation massage. However, Joan has recently returned from a prestigious learning journey in China, where she was able to fully explore the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine and specialize in Tui’na. Tui’na is a form of TCM that focuses on balancing the body’s Qi (energy), similar to acupuncture. The techniques used in Tui’na are similar to that of a massage, but slower and deeper, in order to reach further into ourselves. The name of this practice comes from the pushing (Tui) and pulling (Na) of soft tissue, targeting neuromusculoskeletal issues.
Joan combines her knowledge of several other massage therapy teachings to bring you a refined balance of relaxation, restoration, and holistic healing. We at Meridian are very excited to re-introduce you all to the talented Joan. We cannot wait for you to experience her serene and tranquil approach to giving you the reset you need.
