About Thai Massage

Thai Massage has transformed my practice of service more deeply than any other modality. Thai Massage creates an energetic dance between giver and receiver through its sophisticated system of deep rhythmic acupressure to muscles and sen (energy) lines during assisted stretches and yoga postures. Its integrated approach stimulates the body’s natural healing by unleashing the flow of blocked energy resulting in an energized calm to the recipient.

Thai Massage in practiceThe benefits are noted in all aspects of one’s life, regardless of what level of health or disease someone is dealing with. One experiences a deeper sense of relaxation and awareness of what it feels like to be in their body. It is in this deep space of bliss that the body is able to restore itself. With overburdened schedules and lifestyles Thai Massage offers the body a chance to do less and feel more. After receiving Thai Massage regularly, many people are inspired to improve their lives on many levels. It feels so good to be in the body one naturally seeks ways to support and sustain this level of well being.

Being mostly fluid in nature, our bodies express the same properties as water. Tight and restricted muscles and joints block the flow of energy through our bodies. This tension has the same effect as a dam, obstructing our energy flow. Thai Massage is unique in its ability to enhance and restore the flow of life energy.

By using all parts of the body as a tool the therapist is able to mindfully stretch muscles further than one can accomplish on their own. In this process, joints are also mobilized further than if operating under the body’s own power. One is able to move more deeply into their body, experiencing a deep sense of relaxation, allowing the body to restore balance for optimal health and well being.

Rooted in Buddhist teachings, a Thai massage begins with a meditative prayer called Puja to offer loving kindness and good wishes opening the heart of both giver and receiver.

"May you be happy. May you be healthy.
May you live with an ease of heart."
