Belly Massage

Have you ever had a “gut feeling” or felt your stomach tighten with anxiety? In Traditional Chinese Medicine and somatic therapy, the belly is more than a digestive center — it’s an emotional storage unit. The abdominal organs are deeply connected to the nervous system, and unprocessed emotions often take root here, affecting both our physical and emotional well-being. That’s where Chi Nei Tsang comes in.

The belly can be an intimate part of our bodies. It's rarely touched or acknowledged, but is important for what happens inside -- our digestion and processing of food and emotions. Read on as Dr. Jaz explains a little bit more insight into this massage that's been around for thousands of years.
