TaoTouch®


The art of helping people heal themselves, get rid of pain, and bring back radiant health by reconciling self, soul and spirit while triggering emotional processing. 

 

This is done through a traditional Taoist monastic healing practice called CHI NEI TSANG, which works with deep and gentle ABDOMINAL TOUCH to enhance health and vitality of the internal organs.

"TaoTouch Chi Nei Tsang is the finest, most powerful healing modality in the world, period. Gilles Marin has remarkably taken it to a whole new level. In my opinion, he is by far the best, the number one master practitioner/teacher of Chi Nei Tsang in the world. Chi Nei Tsang in itself is so powerful that indigenous peoples, Hawaiians, have told me 'This is the abdominal work we have lost'. 

 

I believe Gilles has taken Chi Nei Tsang to a whole new level, a truly life changing and world changing level. In addition, he is a delightfully inspiring human being!"
