The labor induction session is a specialty which I love to teach. In this photo, my students are learning this effective session which prepares the expecting client for birth both mentally and physically. Some of the acupressure points are for ripening/softening the cervix, others for encouraging baby to drop down deeper into the pelvis, several for increasing and strengthening uterine contractions. There is so much support offered in these sessions! We start with a meditation calling in baby and welcoming them to the world. What a honor to hold space for the sacred earth-entry! Welcome to beautiful planet earth baby!

Allow me to (re)introduce myself! 👋✨

My name is Linda Gemignani but you can call me Chula. Fun fact: Chula started as a nickname, and I loved it so much I adopted it as my first name 20 years ago!

I’ve been a massage therapist for 20+ years, but my path shifted 17 years ago when I discovered pregnancy massage (Check out Slide 2 for the throwback!). 

Back then, I was a “Deep Tissue or bust” therapist. 💪  I was honestly afraid prenatal would pigeonhole me into “light work.” I was so wrong. The reality? My practice flourished. Side-lying work opened up a whole new window and sparked my interest into learning more advanced bodywork -which eventually integrated and became the approach I teach: Dynamic Fascial Response®.

The Philosophy Behind How I Work:

Rumi wrote “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there” I’ve moved away from the idea of “releasing” a restriction as if it’s a flaw to be fixed. I view tension as a Protector. The body holds for a reason, whether for physical survival or emotional safety. Rather than an aggressive deep tissue attack on a “knot,” I use a “call-and-response” dialogue with the tissue, respecting the original agreement the body made to keep my client safe. With MET skills I might even shorten a muscle that is already short to give it exactly what it wants before inviting an unwind.

Now, at 58, my days are a mix of:

🙌 Teaching therapists how to integrate these advanced techniques.
🤰 Supporting my beloved pregnancy & postpartum clients
🏋️‍♀️ Keeping athletes in peak shape

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me…

🏔️ Backpacking through the High Sierra (Slide 5!).
💃 Partner dancing 
🎸 Writing songs and singing to my cat.
🌱 In the garden planting flowers
✈️ I LOVE traveling! (Slide 6 is 21-year-old me in Paris!!).

I believe we call it a massage “practice” because we never stop learning. I am always in practice and I am always learning.  I LOVE what I do!  

I’d love to meet you! Tell me in the comments:
