Learn the basics of holistic Thai bodywork in our 3-day continuing education course. This introduction will teach you fundamental hands-on techniques of Thai massage, along with some history, theory, cultural aspects, and self-care practices. By the end of the course, you will be able to perform a unique 1-hour or longer Thai massage session using safe body mechanics for you and your clients. 

We'll practice techniques using hands, fingers, thumbs, forearms, elbows, knees, feet, toes, heels, and occasionally your entire body to apply pressure in supine, prone, seated, and side-lying positions with a focus on proper body mechanics to ensure a sustainable practice. We’ll also practice a little Thai yoga for self-care, verbal and non-verbal communication, making smooth transitions, and using intention and intuition in a relaxed learning environment. We'll introduce the Thai energetic system, the importance of self-care rituals, acupressure points, and abdominal massage. 

Led with care by two seasoned instructors with decades of experience, who genuinely want to support your healing arts journey — helping you grow as a skilled therapist and as a compassionate human being. The benefits of practicing Thai Bodywork can be truly life-changing. It allows for new perspectives on how you approach your work, see the body, and how you may address clients' issues. It's often said that Thai Massage is equally beneficial for the giver and receiver, yet we've found, the provider often experiences the deepest benefits.

We'll practice in the traditional style, fully clothed, on a mat on the floor. Each student will receive a handbook illustrating instructions for the techniques that we practice. This course will help to lay a solid foundation to build your Thai bodywork skills upon. It is geared toward beginners of Thai Massage, but is open to all levels of experience. We will provide you with mats, sheets, and pillows to use during class, although feel free to bring your own if you wish. This course is open to massage and bodywork professionals only. If you feel you fall outside this box and would like to attend, please contact us, and we'll try to figure out your situation. ☯
