Renee Stucklen, L.Ac., LMT, Dipl. OM has dedicated her life’s study to the field of Chinese Medicine and Asian bodywork. After graduating from Northern Arizona Massage Therapy Institute in Sedona, Arizona in 2005, she quickly realized that Traditional Thai Massage was one of her absolute favorite methods of bodywork. In 2007, she went to Thailand to obtain her teaching certification at ITM in Chiangmai. Since then, she has taught at NAMTI and for continuing education. Renee’s interest in Chinese medicine led her to obtain her Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches in Santa Cruz, CA in 2012. The practice of Chinese Medicine and all bodywork requires physical cultivation on the part of the therapist. To facilitate this requirement, Renee has been training the internal martial arts of Xingyi, Bagua, and Taiji under the North American Tang Shou Tao since 2008. Renee is currently an instructor in Shen Long Xingyi and in Jing Luo Qi Gong and teaches regular classes in these arts here in Tucson, AZ.
