Yaw Tutu is a seasoned healer, educator, and facilitator dedicated to holistic well-being. With a deep foundation in Thai massage, Reiki, Qigong, Tantric Thai massage, and multiple therapeutic modalities, he integrates ancestral wisdom, energy healing, and bodywork to create transformative experiences for his clients.
His approach is deeply intuitive and personalized, attuning to each client’s physical, energetic, and emotional needs. Rather than following a rigid formula, he senses blockages, imbalances, and untapped potential, selecting the most effective combination of hands-on techniques, energy transmission, movement, sound, and guided visualization.
A Professor of Biodanza, Certified Supreme Science Qigong Level 3 Teacher, Reiki Master, MPS Therapy Practitioner, Scar Release Therapist, and Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT #MA69685), Yaw specializes in pressure lines, deep tissue therapy, Swedish massage, sports massage, trigger point therapy, reflexology, Thai foot reflexology, and Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) therapy. His work extends beyond individual sessions—he also teaches, empowering others with knowledge of bodywork, energy healing, and self-care practices.
Bringing a playful and immersive element to his work, Yaw weaves expressive arts, movement, entrainment, and sound therapy into his sessions, ensuring each experience is a co-creative process of healing and self-discovery. He meets each person exactly where they are, gently guiding them toward greater alignment, vitality, and wholeness. Whether through bodywork, energy healing, or personalized coaching, Yaw’s work is a fusion of science, intuition, and ancient wisdom—helping individuals unlock their fullest potential and achieve deep, lasting transformation.
• Tantric Thai Massage — a mindful, spiritual practice rooted in compassion and intention. I combine traditional Thai techniques with influences from African, Buddhist, and Christian philosophies. I pay close attention to both the physical flow and the energy behind each movement, always working in a way that honors your body and spirit. It’s also important to me to preserve the cultural lineage of Thai massage, while still adapting it to meet today’s wellness needs.
• Reiki Energy Healing — gentle yet powerful, Reiki helps release blockages, balance your energy field, and invite more ease and vitality into your life.
• Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) — a cutting-edge technique that uses gentle currents to target pain, scar tissue, and areas of tension, supporting your body’s natural healing processes.
Each session is tailored to your needs, whether you desire deep physical release, subtle energetic tuning, or a spacious container for your own self-discovery.
Yaw Tutu is not only a gifted healer but also a seasoned facilitator who has led transformative workshops for over two decades. His classes explore the deep intersections of body, energy, and spirit—drawing from his lifelong tantric lineage, Reiki mastery, and advanced Thai massage training. From breathwork for emotional release to hands-on partner touch workshops, and from intuitive body-mapping to self-regulation through sensual awareness, Yaw guides participants toward embodied vitality and inner connection. Whether teaching in intimate circles or at larger retreats, he brings grounded presence, cultural wisdom, and radical compassion. Yaw is available to teach classes, host events, or co-facilitate retreats centered on holistic health, trauma healing, intimacy, and embodied joy.
