What is Thai Massage?
The goal of Thai Massage is not only to treat the external physical boy, but to also consider the energy flow within the body. The aim is to restore the whole person to a state of balance through assisted movement, acupressure, massage principles. The practice helps bring relief to tight, aching muscles while improving the feeling of overall wellness. A session flows through deep static and rhythmic pressures as the body is stretched, gently compressed, moved, and rocked in various positions that increase circulation and range of motion.
How does Thai Massage compare to other massage?
You remain fully clothed and there is always an open line of communication to ensure you are comfortable and enjoying the process. My intention as a Thai Massage practitioner is to help you feel energized yet relaxed. No lotions or oils are generally used in Thai Massage, however I can include some grounding aromatherapy if requested.
What do you need?
You just have to wear or bring comfortable loose or stretchy clothing.

Work with me 1-on-1 to build the best somatic movement practice for your needs. This is the quickest and most effective way to see somatic movement benefits and learn how to integrate them into your day-to-day life for a body with less pain, more mobility and a strong nervous system-muscle connection. Age gracefully and discover the nuances of somatic exercise in a 60-minute session at my Kitsilano clinic location. Prefer me to come to you? Ask me about in-home services.
The goal of somatic movement coaching is to teach you the skills you need to be more independent with healing your body through movement. I recommend once a week to start, then monthly until you have reached a level of confidence in the practice that you can manage it independently. Membership plans available.
Flow through a gentle restorative movement class featuring somatic exercises with restorative yoga poses, then find stillness during a 30 minute sound journey designed to help you drop into your parasympathetic nervous system and find deep relaxation.
I approach my sound sessions using nature soundscapes to evoke a setting, and play live instruments including cello, tongue drum, crystal and Tibetan bowls, crystal pyramids, koshi chimes and more to create lovely layered sound.
Suitable for all levels, although you must be comfortable lying on the floor for extended periods.
