We are thrilled to welcome Lijing Liu to the Apex Retreat Seminars instructor team!

Lijing brings a powerful blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom and modern movement science to our community. With an undergraduate degree in TCM from Changchun University of Chinese Medicine, advanced graduate and doctoral training from the University of Tsukuba in Japan, and professional research experience at Waseda University, she offers a rare depth of knowledge.

After moving to the U.S., she continued expanding her skills by studying Western therapeutic massage at Wake Tech Community College—allowing her to bridge Eastern tradition with Western technique in a truly unique way.

Did you know…?

At Apex Retreat Seminars, our commitment to Traditional Chinese Medicine goes far beyond surface-level beauty trends. All of our TCM-based courses—𝗚𝘂𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗮, 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝘂𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗮, 𝗧𝗖𝗠: 𝗕𝗼 𝗝𝗶𝗻, 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗼 𝗝𝗶𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲—are reviewed and evaluated by our network of licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors.

Why?
Because accuracy matters. Integrity matters. And honoring the roots of this medicine matters.

We don’t “dumb down” or dilute these modalities into simple beauty techniques. Everything we teach is grounded in 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀—not just what’s trending on social media. Our students learn the why behind the method, the traditional theory behind the protocols, and how to apply these practices with respect for the lineage they come from.

✨ This is our standard.
✨ This is our foundation.
✨ This is what makes our trainings different.

Stay tuned… even more TCM-focused trainings are on the way! 🌿📚
