Jenny Xie graduated CCRI Newport with a Certificate in Therapeutic Massage in January 2015. She has been studying energy work and reflexology since 2011, and she feels an affinity for Eastern therapies that assist the body in clearing blocks and balancing the body’s energetic system. Jenny’s massage style is a mix of slow and deep therapeutic Myofascial work, coupled with relaxation and energy work, enabling her to address her clients’ issues in a unique way.
In March/April 2018 Jenny began studying the Trager Approach and is now a practitioner. Find out more about the work of the Trager Approach here: http://www.tragerfordailylife.com/trager-approach
