Gina Lee - Phillipines

Over recent times, as Emmett Technique has become more recognised throughout the world, it has been increasingly noticeable the great distances that many people are willing to travel to undertake Emmett Technique training. Whilst teaching in Germany, Ross noted that some students had travelled through (3) different countries and over 5 hours in cars or trains to attend.

During the latest Emmett Technique training in Townsville in May, 14 of the 18 attendees travelled distances from locations all over the state and across Australia to attend - Melbourne, Port Douglas, Brisbane, Toowoomba were just some of the places of origin.

On this particular course held in Townsville, Gina Lee, a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, travelled all the way from the Philippines', following her first introduction to Emmett in Singapore earlier in the year. After making this huge commitment, it seemed only fitting that Gina should be our first 'Student Profile'.
Gina is a Traditional Chinese Medical Practitioner who owns her own clinic in Manila. She has a passion for body work and uses a combination of therapies including acupuncture and Tuina (traditional Chinese massage and physical therapy).

She has always been taught by renowned, high profile teachers, who have developed their own techniques, have an international following and have published internationally.

She had been studying another modality but had become dissatisfied with the results, so Gina and a friend went looking for something that was quicker, more effective and powerful and which produced results on the table. They surfed the web, checked the internet and ended up at the Ross Emmett website.

Gina and her friend, another highly qualified practitioner, travelled to Singapore to complete her first Emmett Technique Modules with Ross in September last year. Gina discovered that she was able to use the Emmett Technique straight away on her return to the clinic and was amazed and excited with the immediate results she was getting.

She knew this was the direction she had been looking for and flew back to Singapore in early May 2009 to continue her training. She then made a decision to go through to practitioner level as soon as possible, so flew into Townsville at the end of May and completed her training through to Module 5.

To her great surprise, although she had come to learn for her clients, she soon discovered the added benefits of Emmett Technique training... the healing that happens to you on the course itself.

Through her participation she experienced releases from aches and pains she had carried for more than 11 years as a Professional Therapist. By the end of the first days training Gina knew she was going home with personal knowledge on new insights into how the body works and how it can reset and reprogram itself.

Gina brought with her to the course a shoulder issue which resulted in her not being able to lift her arm without pain. It was the result of an accident she had in 2007 where she had also fractured both ankles - in the course of the days training she was amazed that she could now put hands on hips, lift her arm up, stand straighter and could kneel for the 1st time in 10 years. Gina said ' I can now sit and stand gracefully. I didn't even realise I had that issue - you get used to the discomfort. Now I have freedom of movement in my body from head to toe. I feel so relaxed!'

I enjoy the way Ross conducts the course. To do it again and again helps me to remember. Working hands-on with different bodies and different people made the moves easier to understand. This is the same as working with people in the Philippines.'

'I look forward to coming back for review. What I have learnt and found is that by using Emmett I will be working smarter, more productively, effectively and spending less time with less effort as the technique is so powerful. I found exactly what I had been looking for.'

Ross teaches how to work better as a therapist. He has taught me how to integrate this learning with what I already know and use. The joy of learning is not over for me because I realise there is still a lot to learn from here on -1 am very excited about that.'
