Some years ago now, a growing interest in partner yoga and coming across a Thai massage manual set me on a path of discovery and enlightenment that continues to this day. Western-based massage has always been a part of my personal wellness program. Discovering Thai Massage, which is considered one aspect of traditional Thai medicine, has led me to explore other facets of traditional Thai medical practices. It is my honor to share my knowledge and the benefits of Thai Massage and Bodywork. I was very fortunate to train as a Thai Massage practitioner with Kam Thye Chow, a master of Thai Massage at the Lotus Palm School in Montreal, QC. His teaching instilled in me the Thai Buddhist concept of ‘metta’, usually translated as ‘loving kindness’, as well as the practitioner’s compassionate intent and awareness of the client that are fundamental to Thai Massage. |
