What it's about
Abdominal Chi Massage (Chi Nei Tsang) with Doris Kolling works on the visceral and emotional release of the inner organs and is taught in two consecutive five-day levels. The first level works through the abdomen layer by layer, like peeling an onion: skin, fascia, muscle, lymph and circulation, progressing from superficial to deeper-seated problems.
Participants learn to detoxify the large and small intestines, release blockages in the abdominal region and open the Chi gates to the organs, among them liver, gallbladder, lungs, heart, kidneys, pancreas and bladder, where current negative emotions may be stored. Old negative emotions are traced to areas of tension and restriction in the abdomen, where stagnant Chi may show as tightness, lumps or knots. After class each day participants receive a 30-minute herbal ball application on the stomach.
Everyone with a massage background is welcome. Level 1 runs from 4 to 8 January 2027 (5 days, 30 hours) at Sunshine Massage School, 159/2 Kaeo Nawarat Road, Chiang Mai. It costs 11,500 baht including all course materials and the daily herbal ball treatment. A deposit of 50 % of the course fee secures the place once it has been confirmed. Level 2 follows from 11 to 15 January 2027. The school lists this date as fully booked.
