Daoyin Tao® was accredited in April 2002 by its Originator, Anna-Louise Haigh, who has a background in Complementary Therapies extending to 1987 when she qualified as a Clinical Aromatherapy and Reflexology Practitioner. Over 6 years of development, supported with much study and travel in China, lead to the undeniable awareness that much potential lay in the knowledge and techniques which make-up the therapy of Daoyin Tao®.

Based on skills used in Chinese hospitals and clinics, Daoyin Tao® has a strong link to these traditional approaches as the energy of the acupoints and meridians is "worked" in such a way to create a deeply positive, healing effect. The development of Daoyin Tao® was initially focused on helping sinus and migraine sufferers and through their encouraging results, the demand for this treatment grew rapidly. In addition, other benefits were reported, such as easing of bodily pain, constipation, hormonal balance and the list goes on.

Although everyone interprets their Daoyin Tao® experience differently, the common thread which is echoed by all is that this treatment is very holistic; affecting the body, mind and spirit to create a harmonious blend of healing potential. As you might expect, deep relaxation, rejuvenation, rebalancing and revitalization are all part of what Daoyin Tao® has to offer. In addition, relief from congestion, tense muscles, pain and discomfort accompany the gentle detoxification effect for which Daoyin Tao® is becoming known.

By definition, Daoyin Tao® is a harmonious blend of softened and adapted Chinese and Western massage skills which creates a powerful synergy and brings relaxation and balance to the whole body through contact on the Face, Neck and Shoulders only.
