Badass Bodyworkers

In this episode today, we are chatting with my friend, Joan Hoffman from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She has been practicing Japanese Anma Massage since 2011, and I had the pleasure of receiving one of her amazing massages, so of COURSE I had to interview her for the show!

This teacher-to-student modality theoretical framework of Chinese medicine and is usually performed through the clothing, rather than  directly on the skin, and no oil is used. The 7 traditional techniques used: pressing/stroking,  grasping/kneading, strengthening, compressing, vibrating, tapping and  “hand music”. These techniques are directed at specific vital points and meridians on the body, and the strokes are directed away from the heart and target both body and mind. Anma massage benefits the client physically, mentally, and spiritually, thus promoting self-awareness and  the ability to cope with emotions. It is used for relaxation, stress-relief, as well as alleviating ailments such as chronic pain, constipation, anxiety, migraines, poor flexibility, stimulation of blood and lymph flow, low back pain, and nervous disorders.
