Lovely video. This, however, is not tui na for the following reasons:
tui na is performed on a fully clothed person
tui na is a combination of over 50 hand techniques (grasping and pulling to name two)
tui na requires an understanding of meridians/points and traditional chinese medicine
tui na is an intentionally medicinal practice and should feel invigorating, even painful at times.
one should not practice or claim to practice tui na until he or she studies TCM and knows the contraindications
