My Story
I love massages. And in 2018, after completing the workforce skills certification in full body massage in Singapore, I also started to love giving them!
But being a masseuse is not easy. It is physically and energetically taxing. And so I was kicked into a journey of learning how to take care of and love myself so that I can continually be in joy and wellness.
​
This has been a magical adventure. So far, I have discovered wisdoms from Positive Psychology, Kundalini Yoga, Usui Reiki, Chinese Acupressure, Homeodynamic Bowen Therapy, and Anatomy Trains Structural Bodywork.
In every session, I incorporate teachings and techniques from all of these and more:

My wish with Loving Touch Bodywork is to empower you to feel well in your body and mind, so you can manifest all your heart's desires!
Healing Philosophy
How does Loving Touch support health, improve posture, and speed up recovery?
Awareness
Intentional touch reconnects us with the body's senses, helping us to become aware of our movement patterns.
​
As we continue to foster awareness, we can take conscious self-care action to support our well-being goals.
Balance
Targeted tension release allows the body to regain balance, reducing the risk of injuries from stiffness or repetitive-use fatigue.
​
Specific exercises will be recommended to strengthen dormant muscles.
Calm
Setting time for intentional calm is crucial given that many of us have built up a habit of being in the Sympathetic Nervous System 'fight/flight' state and find it difficult to relax.
​
Loving Touch gently facilitates calmness, activating the body's natural self-recovery systems via the Parasympathetic Nervous System of 'rest & digest'.
