My method is the practical application of my philosophy – a structured, intentional approach designed to address the root causes of tension and aging, not just the symptoms. It is deeply personal, born from a fusion of two lifelong influences: the expressive art of dance and the energetic wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I call it The Su-Man Way.
My dance background taught me to see the body as a dynamic system of movement and flow. From Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I learned to perceive it as a network of energy (Qi) pathways where blockages lead to stiffness and imbalance-the very markers of aging. Together, these perspectives form a complete picture: just as in dance we move with grace and momentum, in TCM we cultivate smooth, unimpeded Qi to promote vitality and harmony.
This fusion transforms my touch. My hands move with fluid, choreographed motions informed by dance, while their intent is guided by TCM principles-releasing stagnation and encouraging energy flow. This approach does more than enhance effectiveness; it creates a deeply balancing, rhythmic, and rejuvenating experience that is uniquely mine.
Every facial is a customized composition. Dance honed my creativity and attention to detail. TCM honed my diagnostic intuition – observing not just skin, but complexion, energy, and subtle signs of imbalance. Together, they allow me to tailor each treatment to your body’s unique needs.
1. Assessment: Mapping the Holding Patterns & Energy
I start with a mindful consultation, observing TCM inspired indicators-your complexion, energy and areas of Qi stagnation, alongside posture and movement. This holistic map guides my approach.
2. Re-education: Through Targeted Release & Qi Activation
Using fluid, dance-informed touch, I work along facial and neck meridians to release fascial tension and stimulate Qi flow, helping to dissolve blockages and restore energetic vitality.
3. Integrating Movement & Energetic Awareness
I may share simple Qigong breath work or self-massage tips based on TCM principles to help you maintain energy flow and balance at home.
