Years later, under guidance of her husband and teacher, Robert Sohn, Tina Sohn pursued her destiny as a diagnostic sensitive and healer. Through a crippling accident when she spent 30 days in a coma and was given up for dead by Western doctors in her native Korea, Tina Sohn evolved a heightened sensitivity to the physical condition of others and developed into a true Diagnostic Sensitive – a woman of unmatched inner strength and power, who knew herself to be more than a material body. Her final training, in the mountains of Korea, was completed with her grandmother, an acupuncturist, herbalist and a practitioner of AMMA. She was trained to become a champion long distance ocean endurance swimmer and by adolescence had attained this status. She began her training at the age of four, studying hatha yoga-like exercises and esoteric energy development exercises. Along with the legacy of physical and spiritual training, Tina Sohn inherited a responsibility to the people she served. Within the family, training in energy development and control began during childhood. The women of her family were masters of the ancient healing arts, while the males were superior masters of the martial arts. Tina Sohn was born into one of the “800 Families” which constitute the traditional ruling classes of Korea. Once energy imbalances and organ dysfunctions are diagnosed, the AMMA Therapist’s hands and fingers can appropriately palpate and treat the body – removing the blockages, freeing the flow of energy and bringing healing energy to problem areas.ĪMMA Therapy ® was founded and developed by Tina Sohn, co-founder of The Wholistic Health Center. For a comprehensive assessment, the AMMA Therapist also uses information from available medical tests (blood, X-ray, MRI, EKG, etc.) and any medications being taken. Small areas of the body are often a microcosm of the whole, revealing much about the entire organism. Every sign and symptom reflects the state of internal organs – and can be used in assessment. A diagnosis is based on the assessment of every facet of the mind/body complex – including observation of the tongue (considered a road map of the body), the taking of various pulses, evaluation of diet, complexion, bowel movements, posture, emotions, vitality, personal likes and dislikes, smells, tastes and sounds.

The process of assessment uses both Western and Eastern knowledge and techniques – combining traditional Oriental medical principles for assessing energy imbalances, with a Western approach to organ dysfunction. AMMA techsniques include both deep tissue massage that is used in other forms of therapeutic massage, and the stimulation of energy movement that is the basis of Chinese Medicine.ĪMMA Therapy ® addresses problems from a multi-system, multi-directional point of view.

Whereas the acupuncturist will insert needles into these energy pathways to stimulate and move the energy, the herbalist will use appropriate herbal remedies to do the same, the AMMA Therapist relies primarily on the sensitivity and strength of the hands to manipulate the life energy.

The application of hand techniques is used to balance the flow of energy in the channels. It is fundamentally concerned with the balance and movement of “life energy” (Qi) in the human body. This therapy does not just consist of body work but also includes nutritional counseling as well as stress management in the form of breath work, Tai Chi and Chi gong.Īmma Therapy ® encourages you to be an active participant in your wellness.ĪMMA Therapy ® is rooted in Oriental Medical Principles. By stimulating certain points on the channels, the practitioner can open blockages in the energetic system or strengthen channels that are open. The practitioner massages the meridians of the body with their hands and fingers to enhance the flow of Qi, blood and fluids in those channels. Amma Therapy ® is an ancient energy work rooted in the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
