Originally from Thailand, and with over 25 years experience in both Eastern and Western healing knowledge, Jinny is a licensed massage therapist with a background in Ayurvedic and Thai Herbal massage therapies. She graduated from a four-year Bachelor’s degree program in Applied Thai Traditional Medicine. Jinny worked as a Holistic Health Care Provider of Integrated Western and Eastern medicine in Navy hospitals and communities with teaching and training expertise of over ten years. In her spare time, Jinny enjoys outings with her daughter and often volunteers at her local temple. She sees her work as a massage therapist as a cultural necessity. In Thailand, it’s very common for the entire family unit to get regular massage treatments, and she hopes that eventually the majority of Americans can see its value too. Jinny loves to see her patients happy and leaving with a smile on their face after each massage. As her specialty, Jinny brings her experience of Thai massage to Beyond Acupuncture. Her goal is to combine these healing practices together. Acupuncture methods can occasionally use trigger points, and Jinny can also tap into those points with her fingers as well as with an herbal ball, which has herbs enclosed inside to allow for therapeutic relief of muscular tension. Thai massage is often popular among athletes who are looking for a deep stretch of tense muscles, and hot stones are applied to the body following this treatment in order to further promote blood circulation. In the past, Jinny has worked as a massage therapist at a chiropractor’s office in VA. She also had her own medical spa in Thailand before moving to the U.S. As a Virginia Certified Massage Therapist (CMT).
