Ka Mei Au (May), Hong Kong
Latest Massage Therapist signing up for the 7th World Championship in Massage is Ka Mei Au (May) from Hong Kong. The International Massage Association has asked her to tell about herself:
Hello, my name is May, originally from Hong Kong and have been living in London 5 years ago . I have been a dance teacher over 24 years , I changed my career become a therapist since 2021. I learned massage skills in Hong Kong , Thailand and China before I graduated from the London School of Massage.
In last year 2023 I won the championship at the London Massage Competition in Freestyle category and founded Zen Qi Massage.
After become a massage therapist , I found that I fell in love with massage without reason, the passionate feeling like as i just started my dance . I think massage and dance are very similar industries, not only in terms of technology, knowledge, and experience and fluidity, but to interpret and communicate with each other with touch , it is a heart-to-heart to make others have a body , mind and soul in a balance state. The mainly point is help to tissue change.
The long-awaited 7th IMA competition allows us to communicate with each other. Unfortunately, I can’t participate on site this year because I have to go back to Hong Kong to visit my sick mother, luckily that the organizer arrange an online competition is also really help, so I can share my Western Freestyle, creating a routine named ‘Stretch Move Massage’. Another goal is that in the future to teach massage over the world, bring foreign techniques to Hong Kong and Asia, and have cultural exchanges and becoming a massage instructor.
