MY THAI MASSAGE STORY

In 2009, and I had been traveling for 4 months through South East Asia. I visited the buzzing cities, the old temples, the desert islands, sampled all the new foods and got to know the locals. 

I watched the monks walking every morning in the misty streets of northern Thailand and started following them to the temple. Here, I spent more and more time meditating, in the thick incense smoke, surrounded by the soothing smiles and the guiding mudras of a hundred golden Buddhas.

One day, I saw a shrine and felt compelled to honor it. Behind this shrine was the Chiang Mai Old Medicine Hospital. I walked in and enrolled on my first ever massage course. 

After the successful completion of my Thai Massage Training at the Old Medicine Hospital in Chiang Mai, I got my second diploma, Thai Aroma Oil Massage. 

The following year, I decided to go back to Thailand and learn a different style of Thai Massage with Aroma Oil at the Phuket Traditional Thai Massage School. My teacher, Earth, ( Panupong Kaesuwan) was entirely dedicated to our small group of 5 students.  At the end of winter, I received my second oil massage diploma with honors. I then attended 4 more courses and specialized in this hands on therapy.
