A note from your teacher
Rabiah Abdussabur
If you have ever sat with a client who has tried everything for their neck tension, their chronic low-back ache, or the insomnia that has quietly been eroding their quality of life — and you have felt that pull to offer something more precise, more rooted, more complete — then I think you already know why Tui Na matters.
I built The Tui Na Studio because I kept seeing the same gap. Practitioners who were skilled, caring, and genuinely committed to their clients, but who had never had access to a systematic, clinically grounded pathway into Chinese therapeutic massage. A weekend workshop that left them with enthusiasm but no real framework. A TCM textbook that explained the theory beautifully but left the hands with nothing to do. I wanted to create something different: a curriculum that respects both the depth of this medicine and the practical reality of your treatment room.
What you will find here is not a surface-level introduction. We begin with the foundations that make Tui Na make sense — Qi, Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, the meridian system — but we never let theory float free of the body. Every concept is anchored to anatomy, to palpation, to what you will actually feel under your hands. From there, we work through each of the eight core hand techniques with the precision they deserve, because correct form is not just about looking professional — it is about protecting your own body and delivering consistent, therapeutic outcomes for every client.
The clinical protocols are where this training becomes genuinely practice-changing. Whether you are designing a full-body session, addressing a specific complaint, or figuring out how to weave Tui Na into an existing acupuncture or massage practice, the curriculum walks you through it in a structured, step-by-step way. You will finish with intake forms, treatment planning frameworks, documentation habits, and the language to talk about what you do with clarity and confidence.
I want to be honest with you: Tui Na takes practice. The techniques require repetition, body awareness, and patience. But the curriculum is designed to meet you where you are, move you forward steadily, and leave you with a modality you have genuinely internalized — not just watched a video about. If you are ready to do that work, I am ready to guide you through it. Come learn with me.
