“SO, WHAT IS CHI NEI TSANG?
.
Ever felt "sick to your stomach" when you are worried?
Or "butterflies in your belly" when nervous or excited?
In traditional Chinese Medicine, the abdominal area is believed to be our emotional center of energy.
Taoist monks realized this more than a thousand years ago. And developed this special abdominal healing massage in order to strengthen their mental and physical ability. Helping them to reach their highest spiritual potential,
Nowadays, people experience many benefits from receiving this ancient healing system. Now called "Chi Nei Tsang".
"Chi" meaning energy.
"Nei Tsang" meaning working on the internal organs.
Some of the benefits of Chi Nei Tsang include:
Detoxifying and stimulating the lymphatic and circulatory system and strengthening the immune system so one becomes more resistant to diseases.
Correcting postural problems and deep seated tension resulting from imbalances in the structural patterns of the fascia and misalignment of the feet and pelvis.
Balances emotions as poor emotional digestion is seen as one of the main causes for ill health.
Feedback from Chi Nei Tsang sessions often imply profound healings:
““My session with Valerie was one of the most profound healings’ I have ever experienced, ever. And the thing that struck me the most was the speed of the shifting. As soon as we began I could feel energy shifting and I could feel the emotions welling up and rising coming to the surface and releasing. ”
— Martie Pineda, Author and Global Lifestyle Entrepreneur
Learning made easy with great study materials.
We have everything already written down in thoughtfully designed manuals with detailed illustrations and diagrams designed by Valerie.
Meaning you can sit back and enjoy the demonstrations without scribbling down notes for the whole course! Allowing you to be fully present.
The manual and also some other learning materials we provide are yours to keep and are instrumental in our students ability to go ahead and being practising straight away, knowing they have all the information and reminders they need.

Here are a few words from the farm:
“Our mission is to serve seasonally fresh, organic, healthy food at affordable prices for our guests to enjoy. As the global food market has become detached from local farmers and artisans of hand-crafted food, it is important to us that people see where their food comes from, and how it is grown, cared for, harvested, and prepared. We practice organic agriculture on our farm and we encourage guests to learn more about the benefits of the organic food process. All of our guests are offered a farm tour upon arrival and questions are happily encouraged. If the guests wish, they can also participate in daily farm activities. We hope this type of education will help the global food market embrace a more localized and seasonal food consciousness.”
