Taoist Chinese Medicine
Practiced for over 1700 years, Fengyang traditional Chinese medicine was developed by Dong Feng (220-280 AD). As practitioners today, we follow the same high standards of holistic healing techniques focused on the patient.
Fred Maerkle
Healing the Earth One Person at a Time!
Hi! I’m Fred Maerkle and I love all forms of holistic energy healing! My initial forte has been Vibrational Sound Therapy (in many various forms), but I have also fell in love with the methods and principles of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and am currently a certified Fengyang Tui Na Practitioner and certified Fengyang Gua Sha Practitioner, and have plans to continue further study of TCM. Allow me to share a glimpse into my background…
After completing my Usui Holy Fire II Reiki Master/Teacher certification in 2017, I started my healing practice “Zentastic Wellness”, working various locations in eastern Connecticut. Soon I was introduced to tuning forks and Tibetan singing bowls which ignited my passion for sound healing and compelled me to learn many varied modalities in that field.
In November 2022, I met Dr. Ming Wu who was exhibiting at the Natural Living Expo in Marlborough, MA. At that time I already had ten modalities under my belt, but I was intrigued by this modality of “Tui Na”. After listening to Dr. Wu’s presentation and demonstration about Tui Na, and later receiving a 10 minute Tui Na session from Jason Ni at Dr. Wu’s expo booth, I was TOTALLY convinced of the absolute effectiveness of Tui Na. At that point I proclaimed that “I NEED to learn Tui Na in order to better serve my clients!”
So began my journey and passion in the study of TCM. It is wonderful to have many tools in your toolbox! I always start a session with a 2 – 3 minute consult where I simply ask “What can I do you, and what would you like me to address?”. Then I customize the session according to the needs of the client at that given time. And I can address not only the physical, but also the emotional and spiritual issues one may have.

Services Offered
Fengyang Tui Na
Tui Na (pronounced “twee nah”) is a very important aspect of Fengyang Chinese Medicine. Tui Na is a hands-on massage therapy technique that works into the bioelectric system of the body, which is the energy system of the body. Chinese medicine believes that when the energy is correct, there can be no problem in the body.
Fengyang Gua Sha
Gua sha treatment relaxes the muscles, gets the energy and blood moving. It’s aim is to move energy, known as qi or chi, around the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi or chi is energy that flows through the body. A person’s qi must be balanced and flowing freely to ensure their health and well-being. It boosts the circulation. Studies show by up to 400 percent that it takes away toxins and brings in oxygen and nutrients.
Qi can become blocked, causing pain or tension in the muscles and joints. By doing gua sha, it removes this blocked energy to relieve aches or stiffness. Blood stasis or stagnation is also a cause of pain and illness. Another aim of gua sha is to move pooled or stagnated blood to relieve symptoms.
