What is Thai Massage and Thai Oil Massage?

Thai Massage was developed in Thailand over 2,000 years ago. It is an ancient energy-based healing system that combines acupressure, reflexology, and assisted yoga posture, focusing on the circulation of vital energy in major pathways. Pressure points along these pathways are stimulated to help break down blockages, fuel energy flow, and restore balance and harmony.  

Benefits of Thai Massage include:  Deep Relaxation - Quieting of the Mind - Heightened Energy Levels - Improved Circulation -Improved Lymphatic Flow -Improved Range of Motion - Increased Flexibility - Rejuvenated Body and Mind - Relief for Pain and Muscle Tension - Enhanced Mind-Body Connection.

MY THAI MASSAGE STORY

In 2009, and I had been traveling for 5 months through Asia. 

I visited the buzzing cities, old temples, desert islands, tried all the new foods and got to know the locals. I started meditating, in the thick incense smoke, surrounded by the soothing smiles and the guiding mudras of a hundred golden Buddhas. One day, I saw a shrine and felt compelled to honor it. Behind it was the Chiang Mai Old Medicine Hospital. I walked in and enrolled. I successfully completed my Lanna Style Thai Massage and Thai Aroma Oil Massage trainings. The following year, I decided to learn a different style of Thai Massage with Aroma Oil at the Phuket Traditional Thai Massage School with teacher Earth ( Panupong Kaesuwan). I continued to travel for the next 9 years to improve my technique in different schools, and decided to specialize in Thai Oil massage over the other disciplines since for me the direct touch makes all the difference.
