Thai Massage is a traditional healing practice that combines acupressure, yoga-like stretches, and energy balancing techniques to restore harmony in the body and mind. Unlike conventional massages performed on a massage table, Thai Massage is done on a padded mat on the floor, with the recipient fully clothed. It is often referred to as “assisted yoga” because of the dynamic stretches involved.
Benefits of Thai Massage

The combination of stretches and acupressure promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can help detoxify the body and reduce inflammation. - Promotes Mental Clarity
Thai Massage encourages mindfulness and helps improve focus and mental clarity by relieving both physical and mental stress.
