Nice to meet you!
I am Tao, your massage therapist

πŸ”΅ In my early twenties, I traveled to more than 20 countries and over 50 cities around the world, striving to broaden and deepen my understanding of people, the world, and life.πŸ”΅ In my mid-twenties, I completed two years of military service in my home country, South Korea.πŸ”΅ In my late twenties, I worked as a Marketing Specialist for three years at the Motorola Solutions Asia Pacific Headquarters in Penang, Malaysia.πŸ”΅ Now in my mid thirties, I have completed 1,000 hours of Western and Eastern massage training at Pacific College of Health and Science and, as the owner of Mindful Bodywork Lab, I work with clients who seek bodywork care since Dec 2023.πŸ”΅ I am also currently pursuing the Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine program at PCHS.

I offers the following styles of sessions:


🟦 Specialty 1. Athletic Recovery & Deep Tissue Bodywork

Since opening in December 2023, Mindful Bodywork Lab has worked with 1,500+ clients, including lifters, runners, and athletes under heavy training load. Most present with tight shoulders, overloaded low backs, hip restriction, or recurring pain from training stress, injury, or repetition.My approach goes beyond symptom relief. Using precise anatomical assessment, I address the root cause of dysfunction and restore efficient movement. Sessions are performance focused and may include deep tissue work, assisted stretching, hot stones, red light therapy, cupping, and moxa to support faster recovery, improved mobility, and sustained training output.

🟦 Specialty 2. Restorative Bodywork for Stress & Chronic Tension

At Mindful Bodywork Lab, many clients come not from training load, but from long hours at a desk, chronic stress, and accumulated fatigue. I understand the demands of a high-pressure lifestyle, and each session is designed to help your system downshift and recover deeply.This work blends structural release with nervous system down-regulation, relieving deep tension while restoring ease in the body. The goal is to leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and fully reset.

🟦 Specialty 3. Structural Bodywork & Assisted Stretching
(for Pain, Imbalance & Restricted Movement)

This session is designed for clients experiencing structural discomfort, movement limitations, or persistent physical symptoms. It focuses on restoring alignment, improving mobility, and addressing the underlying mechanical causes of dysfunction.Combining structural bodywork with assisted stretching, the goal is to release restrictions, rebalance the body, and support more efficient, pain-free movement in daily life and activity.

🟦 Cupping & Moxa Therapy

Cupping and Moxa therapy are traditional techniques used to release tension, move stagnation, and support the body’s natural healing process. By applying heat and negative pressure, these methods help improve circulation, relieve pain, and warm the meridians to restore balance.I tailor each session to the client’s specific needs, whether addressing muscle stiffness, chronic pain, fatigue, or stress, to provide effective and therapeutic results.
