Thai Massage for Every Body

     Thai massage slowly opens your being, starting with basic positions and stretching to loosen muscles and release restricted energy. Gradually your muscles soften and lengthen, increasing your flexibility and ability to move freely. With every session we evaluate where you are to work within your limits, and with regular treatments deeper stretching can be used to realize your full potential.

     The advanced positions of Thai massage, while visually exciting, can also be a bit intimidating to newcomers and are usually unnecessary in practice. We find that applying basic stretches while paying close attention to their detail is just as effective if not more so, and only a handful of the clients here receive advanced stretching. Most advanced positions are for those whose flexibility extend beyond the basics, and though we want you to experience the advanced postures of Thai massage, we also know it's not to be rushed.

     As there are many styles of music and dance, there are also different styles of Thai massage. Southern Style Thai tends to be harder, faster and generally more aggressive, while the Northern Style is slower and much more meditative. We are of the Northern lineage, and prefer to bring an element of serenity and stillness to our treatments, especially since most of our clients move too fast on a daily basis already. However, for those who crave intense deep tissue work, the owner will happily use the Southern Style upon request.

     In short, please don't be too hesitant. The only way to know if you'll enjoy Thai massage is to try it, and you may have to see different practitioners to find one you like. Though we will push your limits little by little (because that's how progress is made), we love and are very proud of what we do, and we want our sessions with you to be as enjoyable and uplifting as they are beneficial.
