Thai Yoga massage

Thai Yoga massage has an holistic approach and treats the body as a whole, by default treatments always incline the whole body. When you book a Thai Yoga Massage, you can choose from 90, 120, 150, or 180 minute sessions.

A general Thai Yoga massage session takes 2 hours, the more time we have, the deeper I can work on your specific concerns and the more benefits you can receive.

It takes at least 45 minutes for your nervous system to relax, so I do recommend booking a longer session if you want to surrender and receive the maximum healing benefits possible.

My value-driven pricing means that the longer you book, the more affordable your treatment becomes per minute, making it easier to prioritize your self-care and wellbeing.

Thai massage and Thai yoga massage are often used interchangeably, but they do refer to slightly different styles of massage. Traditional Thai massage, also known as "Nuad Boran," is a therapeutic massage technique that originated in Thailand over 2,500 years ago. It involves the use of rhythmic compression, acupressure, and stretching to release tension and improve flexibility. Thai yoga massage, on the other hand, is a more modern style of Thai massage that incorporates elements of yoga into the massage therapy. It involves more stretching and movement, and you’ll be guided into yoga-like poses during the massage. In essence, Thai yoga massage is a form of Thai massage that emphasizes more movement and stretching, while traditional Thai massage may focus more on acupressure and rhythmic compression. Both styles share the same overall goal of promoting relaxation, releasing tension, and improving overall well-being.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your massage, as you will be moving and stretching during the session. Please bring a fresh pair of socks as well.

Thai yoga massage may be uncomfortable at times, but it should not be painful. Let me know if you experience any discomfort during the session so that I can adjust the pressure and technique to make the massage more comfortable for you. Good to know: if you ever experienced a particularly classical Thai massage at a Thai massage parlor or salon, with little communication, and a monotone and systematic treatment that pushed your physical limits or was uncomfortable or triggering—please know that I take a very different approach, and seek to work with your body’s unique capability. I communicate clear and will tailor a treatment specific for you, weaving in modalities to make you relax, and thereby create space o heal, rather than to hurt you.

I always love to create a personalized treatment that meets your needs and goals. In particular, Thai yoga massage pairs well with Shiatsu and Wuo Tai. Let me know what you are looking for from your massage session, and I will work with you to create a tailormade fusion of different bodywork modalities. On the table I can even blend in Thai massage stretches with an oily massage.

No! You just need to be you, no matter your shape or level of fitness. Thai yoga massage is used on athletes as well as office workers, so it really doesn’t matter how flexible you are. Being flexible in the mind helps though, often people hold on to their thoughts and even physical pains, because they identify with them. Being present in the moment and sinking in with your breath, tuning into your body and being, is half of the work to be done to make a massage treatment successful! Each treatment is different and depends on the person receiving it.

There are some medical conditions that would make Thai yoga massage unsafe.

A partial list of contraindications is: fever, vascular conditions, severe heart disease, contagious skin conditions, inflammation, abrasions, cuts, hematomas, cancer, neuritis, recent surgery, infectious diseases, diabetes with vascular dysfunction, fractures, and acute injury.

There are too many possible conditions to list here so it is your responsibility to alert me to any medical condition or injury before a massage begins. You can read more about contraindications here.

If you have any health concerns, it's important to talk to your doctor before getting a deep tissue massage

Honestly, its hard to say.

Every person is unique and every condition is unique to each person.

It may take one session to work on a condition, or it may take several.

You and I will be able to talk more specifically about this after your first session and I’ve had a chance to evaluate your body's tissues and condition.

Individual preference varies, so for most it depends on your pain, physical needs, emotional needs, and of course, budget.

Receiving a massage regularly has the most benefit; this can be as often as weekly, monthly or with the change of the season. If you are just looking for some occasional relaxation, then a session every 3-6 weeks may be fine for you.

However, if you are looking to address a specific condition, then it is recommended to go more frequently at first and then slowly taper down to a maintenance schedule.

Keep in mind that you may require multiple sessions to experience relief. Some people benefit from a massage treatment once per month, while others require weekly treatment to see improvement.

It’s important to be realistic about what one massage treatment can achieve. Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. But the science behind massage therapy highlights the importance of gradual, consistent treatments rather than relying on high pressure in a single session to address muscle tension and knots effectively.
