Developed by Ted Looyen, a Dutch-born counselor and bodyworker from Australia, Looyen Work collaborates with the core emotional issue of a client and releases the stored value it holds. Though the massage is deep tissue, it is gentle, in keeping with Looyen’s belief that pain does not heal pain. This form of bodywork connects the notion of emotional well-being and psychotherapy with the physical release afforded by massage techniques.
