Thai Massage or Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient Asian healing art which combines acupressure along energy lines, assisted yoga stretching, gentle rocking and other techniques which can help release energy blockages and allow the body to regain its own natural healing abilities, thus restoring balance, health and harmony. It has roots in Ayurveda and can be traced back 2,500 years to India. Thai Massage has close ties with Hatha Yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, Japanese Shiatsu.
As a healing therapy, Thai Yoga Massage is still evolving and now includes elements of modern energy medicine, osteopathy, kinesiology and other modern scientific disciplines and therapeutic practices.
It's conveniently located near the Walnut Grove Community Centre. As it's also close to Hw #1, the location is easily accessible even if you're coming from Vancouver or other parts of the Greater Vancouver area.
Each of my sessions is unique and adjusted to your specific condition and needs. It can be a whole body massage, or I can focus on specific problem areas or goals (e.g, pain relieve, relaxation, increasing flexibility, or general health maintenance).
During the session a patient is clothed. The massage is performed on floor on a special Thai massage mat. When coming for a session, please wear comfortable clothing, e.g., something you would wear for a yoga class or for a gym. If necessary, I can provide you with clean massage clothing.
Being also a certified Thai massage teacher, I can teach you basic Thai Massage techniques and sequences to use at home with your family members and friends for relaxation, improving flexibility or just for fun! You can learn it with your spouse, friend or would need to bring someone to practice massage on. I can also offer larger group lessons or workshops.
The rate for a small private class (up to 2 people) at my home studio is usually the same as for regular Thai massage sessions. If it's a larger group class, the cost will depend of the number of participants, length of the training session / workshop and location where it is taking place.
Please note that Thai Massage is generally not covered by extended health care plans, and I am not a RMT.
