About Tueykay Jew
Tueykay (pronounced "tu- kay") is a California State Licensed & Nationally Certified Acupuncturist, Licensed Chinese Herbalist, California State Licensed Massage Therapist & Certified Kinesio Tape Practitioner, Personal Development, Health and Wellness coach.
She specializes in injuries, pain management, stress reduction, cravings such as smoking or food and her coaching focuses on weight loss.
She grew up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada where she attended Dawson College and Concordia University. Then she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia before heading for California's balmier weather via the Green Tortoise hippy tour bus. She studied Shiatsu and Massage therapy from the Shiatsu Massage School of California and graduated from Emperor's College of TCM in California. She has a thriving practice on the Westside of Los Angeles since 1994.
Over 20 years ago, she felt that there was more to learn about the body and its ability to heal itself. At the same time, she was constantly lethargic and overall not feeling well. A friend suggested she try acupuncture. She didn’t want to have to take prescription medication and made an appointment with the acupuncturist.
This changed her view on life. She went twice a week for over a year and a half, cooked the raw herbal teas and took the prescribed herbal formulas in pill form. She felt the change within 3 months of treatment, such as her energy coming back, experiencing deeper sleep and her digestion improved. What stood out most was that the acupuncturist was extremely kind during each of her visits. Every treatment had a different effect. Many treatments brought out deep emotions.
Sometimes, she would burst into tears during the session and the Acupuncturist would come back in to check on her every few minutes or just stay in the room until she calmed down. Her kindness helped the healing process and Tueykay wanted to share that with others. After her experience with acupuncture, she knew that being a Healer was meant to be her path.
Tueykay didn’t grow up in a nurturing and supportive household. Therefore, she made it part of her life quest to offer what that to others. She was a quiet child in a hectic environment, so her escape was reading which she still enjoys today.
Tueykay created Simply Thin Forever to eliminate aches and pains for her clients. She has been addressing clients’ health needs on her table for over 20 years.
She started as a massage therapist by kneading away their stress, aches and pains from injuries. Common ailments are chronic stress, back and neck pain.
During sessions, clients’ shared about physical aches, and the corresponding emotional impact in their lives. Tueykay incorporated simple spiritual principles to aid the emotional healing processes which in turn positively changed the client’s physical health.
Over the past 17 years, her education and treatment regimens expanded to include using Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs to address all commonly stated areas that impacted health and wellbeing.
Tueykay gradually added coaching to her slate of services to address this Physio-Emotional and sometimes, Spiritual connection. This complete holistic approach allows her to use an Eastern energetic medicine that treats the natural communication of the body. Being able to listen to the client as well as the technical aspects of their “Chi” or Vital Energy force, she can address all of their physical and effected areas of the body.
By aligning the body, mind and spirit systems, her clients’ naturally lose weight, become thinner and maintain optimal health and wellbeing.
