Introduction: I had been on hiatus from Thumbtack for several years when I worked at high-performance physical therapy clinic in Santa Monica for 3 years. It was to gain experiences helping patients with more challenging conditions to get better which I had been quite successful. I integrated those experiences and it makes my treatments more effective. It addresses more medical conditions as massage therapy had been in long history of healing practices. I have extensive training including neuromuscular, craniosacral, orthopedic massage, viaseral manipulation, lymphatic drainage, therapies. I have thorough and in-depth knowledge in anatomy and pathology with several dissection classes to understand our body and what happens inside. I can get to the sources of your problems with far deeper training than what requires as massage therapist. With sensitive touch to find tension and dysfunction in your tissues, I am able to release what restricts your body from inside. I also have first-hand experiences how untreated soft-tissues problems that can become chronic. With background in technical field prior to becoming a massage therapist, I am an excellent problem-solver. Together with my maticulous work, you will find relief with every treatment. My deep and broad training gives me a lot of tools in my toolbox to fit your individual needs and there are no two bodies alike. You don't get one-size-fit-all, memorized sequences of strokes you'd get in conventional massage spa. My price is high because I paid high prices for my educations and experiences. To see clients liberated from pain they had suffered for years makes it so rewarding that I could facilitate people's healing process. Some of my clients had been seeing many professionals, including prestigious medical facilities, with not much results. It's not because those are not competent but the treatments were not specific to their individual conditions. I love problem-solving and it's been my strength in doing any work. Your body is unique - It deserves a unique treatment and I love to provide that for you. Note: I only do house-call which means I carry my table, stool, and other equipment to your place. My physical ability is better focus on solving your issues, not for hauling bulky items. So please do NOT contact me if you cannot provide on-site parking or elevator up to your residence.

I have been bothered with shoulder pain for over two years. I was an orthopedic surgeon, to a physical therapist, I had prolo-therapy treatments and hormone treatments, all to no avail. I knew Ning informally and happened to tell her about my shoulder not knowing she was a massage therapist. She told me what she does and said she knew a lot about shoulders and so I decided to give her try. After just four treatments my shoulder has improved markedly. She spent some time thoroughly diagnosing the problem asking when and where it hurt and also by probing and manipulating the whole shoulder area. Then she explained the cause of the problem and what she would do to treat it before she actually started the treatment. I especially liked the way she coached me to modify my workouts to avoid the cause of the problem, providing a convincing rationale for the same and a list of dos and don'ts to guide me during the recovery process. Each of the four sessions were different, seemingly customized to my improving condition. Additionally, I gave her 5 stars - Outstanding.

I have never experienced trigger points/ neuromuscular therapy prior to meeting Ning. Immediately I was impressed by her thorough phone intake prior to our actual session. She went through what was going on with my body part by part, asked me to describe my pain, discussed how long each issue has been going on, and had me describe the priorities of my issues. At the end of our phone intake, Ning gave me a very clear picture of what her plan was for my initial treatment with the time frame we had agreed on. When it was time for my session she was professional, safe and clearly gifted with her palpation skills, touch and detailed/ specific work. She did some assessment to see what was misaligned, or might have issues. Quickly she began working on my neck and inside my jaw. She found every small knot/ tension that was high up on my neck and within my jaw without much of my direction. Together we communicated constantly her pressure and my pain level. I have to say trigger point work is one of the most effective, targeted work, where specific body parts are tackled rather than a full body massage. She was also extremely clean by wearing gloves when working inside my mouth. Even though the neck is a very sensitive part for me Ning was always working with my comfort level and I was able to release a lot of physical and emotional tension that have been stored there. Furthermore, I have some deep lower back pain/ hip flexor issue that has been bothering me for over a year, I have been going to acupuncturists and massage therapist to help with my issue on and off now. Ning was the first therapist that was able to identify exactly what small muscles around my hip flexor and glute I had issues with, she went straight into my psoas, and it was amazing how I felt all the releases and pain subside. Ning's work is much more medical, and if you have deep issues you would like to focus on she is the person for you! You can tell how knowledgeable she is about the human body, and you might not get your whole body worked on but you really feel the relief from her trigger point and myofascial work. I am already planning on going back to see her, and excited to continue working with her on my psoas and other issues throughout my body.

Truly life changing to work with Ning. She uses her intellect to truly solve problems that I have been facing with little to no success for years. Beyond that, she is very skilled in her touch and her craft. Could not recommend enough!!! By far my favourite and most effective therapist.

Ning brings remarkable expertise to her therapy. Her knowledge of muscles, joints and tissue far exceeds that of any therapist (or doctor) I have worked with previously, and she continues to study and extend her understanding of both anatomy and healing techniques. She explains everything she is doing and the effect she is working to achieve, which gives me great confidence. And the results speak for themselves. I can typically feel the relief immediately after a session, sometimes the difference has been tremendous. She is a uniquely qualified therapist whom I would recommend to anyone.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I find to do a thorough job, to get good, lasting results, you will need more than an hour of a session. My pricing is $200/90 minute session. I actually prefer to do 2 hours at the minimum. You can not rush tissues to release. So the subsequent hours will be at a discount $120/hour after the first 90 minutes.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will ask your history, do physical assessment to find your restriction. I might even ask you to walk to home in on the source of your problem. Typical clients I have will have accumulated soft tissues restrictions because it's normally not addressed in conventional medical care. Tissue restrictions often come with fluid retention/stagnation, locally or globally. Tissues works will have more long-term solutions if works with improving circulation through lymphatic works and connective tissues conditioning which is my unique treatment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, all the time. My additional certificate in Advanced neuromuscular therapy took 450 hours after my core 900 hours massage therapy program. I have gone to the State of Washington to a professional massage conference and took classes in CPR and inter-oral massage (16 unites) for Temperomandibular Dysfuntion (TMD) as additional to what I have already covered in my advanced class. I am a certified Orthopedic Massage and Integrative Manual Therapy (100 hrs course) from James Waslasky of Center for Pain Management in Dallas, TX. I also studied Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques by Erik Dalton. l had taken classes in burn scar massage, Medical massage, to name a few. I am also trained with Upledger's CranioSacral Therapy (128 total hrs), Barral Institute's Visceral Manipulations. I am a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT) with 135 hrs course from the Academe of Lymphatic Study (ACOLS). I will keep learning, researching, as long as I live.
