Call me and let´s talk about Thai Massage

My life mission is to blend together the eastern art of Thai Yoga Massage and the western science of Osteopathy. This unique and pristine combination allows us to treat in a global holistic manner, from the tip of the toes to the crown of the head; and yet, we find the way to be radically specific, finding the dysfunction that is responsible for bringing our system out of balance.

We can find it. And using a variety of tools, we can bring back vitality and mobility. After that we leave it alone, and nature takes care of the rest.

Authorized teacher in the Sunshine Network (prestigious Thai Massage school from Chiang Mai), Licensed Osteopath at the Swiss International College of Osteopathy, under the mentorship of Phillipe Druelle.

FAQs

Thai Massage has its roots in the northeast of India 2500 years ago. It all started in the times of Siddhartha Gautama, and century after century, Buddhist monks have preserved and developed this art in Buddhist monasteries. 

Thai Massage is a meditation in motion; a holistic mindful dance that brings relaxation, joy, and happiness to both giver and receiver.

You will get a complete overview with sequences covering the whole body: from the tip of the toes to the crown of the head. It will allow you to offer a full, safe and amazing two-hour Thai Massage to your friends, family, and clients.

We go through the theory. We go through the practical. We guide you through each sequence. We go through the philosophy. We have included an introduction to Buddhist philosophy to help you understand this art’s roots. We go through prayers and mantras that make this practice so unique. 

This is a bodywork practice that we are used to learning in a presential enviorment. Because of that reason, it is better if you already have some massage experience, some sensitivity in your hands and some background of bodywork. The design of this course is for you to learn the basics, the fundamental principles of thai  massage, to practice, to take all the theory, to absorb it, and step by step, make this art yours.

If you already have experience, this course can be a great addition. It has been our experience that students with a lot of practice in their hands, took this course, went deep, and reviewed the whole program. They value and they treasure this resource that they can access anytime. 

If you know nothing of anatomy, this will be a great discovery. And if you have some knowledge, give me the chance to open the doors, inspire you, and motivate you to keep studying the beauty and the unlimited wonders of Human Anatomy.

This course is designed for you to learn alone in the comfort of your own home, in your living room. You can watch the theory. You can watch the classes, you can let it sink in. And then you need to practice. Who are you going to choose? You’re going to choose your partner, your friend, some family members, maybe you choose some other practitioners that are in your hometown.

And you will need to do those sessions several times to really absorve the knowledge, the wisdom, and develop intelligence in your hands. You need to have bodies to practice. I always recommend that you find healthy, happy young bodies because it’s easier for us to learn in the beginning. And believe me, you’re going to make them very, very happy. As soon as you give them one time, they’re going to want to receive more.

This is a 50-hour online course, and it is not something that you can do overnight or that you can get rid of in a week. It’s going to take an average of 1 month for you to complete this course. If you choose to do the course at your own pace, then It’s really up to you. My recommendation would be a minimum of 1 month.

Something between 1 and 2 months is going to be the right amount of time for you to complete this course and absorb everything in the best way.

39 classes with everything you need to offer a complete, beautiful, and precise Thai Yoga Massage

This course includes anatomy classes. It includes theoretical aspects and the universal principles of Thai Massage. It also includes prayers and mantras. 

Yes, this course includes a manual . You will get a download link, It’s a PDF document that my recommendation is that you download and print in full color. The manual is great support for you to learn as you watch the classes, as you sink into the videos, as you dive deep. You have a book in front of you and this is great support for you to follow both the theoretical aspects and the practical, and also all the anatomy slides that are included.

You have access for life. Even if we keep improving the course, changing classes, and upgrading it in the future, you will always have access. You will always be part of the Thai Massage Academy family. 

The last thing that we want is that a tight financial situation is going to prevent you from accessing this course and jumping on board and developing your bodywork skills. So yes, if you need to split the payment up to 4 installments, this is a possibility. And if you need more installments, just shoot us an email and we’ll figure it out.
