Where Tao&Touch Meet

About

Welcome, I'm Chee Yee Tang, and I warmly invite you to visit my massage practice, Shou. Together, we'll explore what kind of touch your body needs. After all, your body is not just something you have – it's an essential part of who you are, full of wisdom and richness.

My approach is rooted in Healing Tao, a holistic system that promotes physical and energetic balance for optimal health. Through conscious touch and massage techniques from various wellness traditions, I create space for relaxation, awareness, and resilience.

Outside of my practice, I also provide tailored bodywork in settings such as psychogeriatrics, mental health care, palliative care, and social work, making massage accessible to everyone and aligning with their unique life stories and processes.

Before the massage, we have a brief introduction to discuss what is currently happening in your body and life and decide on the type of massage based on your wishes. This allows us to tailor the massage precisely to your specific needs. The massage not only focuses on specific body parts but also pays attention to raising awareness of your bodily experiences and emotions. As we relieve physical blockages through the massage, deep relaxation occurs, enabling you to better sense where in your body extra attention is needed. I will remain connected with you during the session, so you can share what you are experiencing. This helps us make the most of our time together and enhances your vitality.

Sessions

Lichaamswerk dat met je meebeweegt

Your body evolves over time, just as you do. Whether you're growing, aging, or navigating significant life transitions, it’s essential to create space to connect with your body and understand your relationship with it. These sessions are here to support you in a personalized and sustainable way, offering the care and attention your body needs through massage and body-awareness techniques. Your body isn’t just something you have – it’s a vital part of who you are, rich with wisdom and insight.

On Location

Massage is not only a luxury for the happy few, attentive touch is a fundamental basic necessity for every person. At SHOU, We're committed to spreading this belief beyond our practice, reaching out to communities where massage is desired but not readily available. Whether it's the elderly, refugees, individuals with challenges, caregivers, activists, creatives, or night workers—everyone is welcome.

We are committed to fostering a healthier and more connected society through offering complementary care and tailored programs, using various massage traditions, body and mind awareness and socio-cultural skills. These programs cater to the needs of both individuals and the groups they belong to, allowing us to support a diverse range of people.
