"My overall experience was life altering. Not just learning thai massage, but experiencing the island, the venue, the residents and my co-students. It was beautiful, calm, relaxing, rejuvenating, and inspiring, I couldn't imagine a better place to spend time and learn. I felt as though we gained a wealth of knowledge, and I am confident to practice a full body thai massage when I go home. Tara was amazing, with kindness, Spirit, and a calm that all enhanced my experience." ~ M. Harbourne, Airdire, AB
​​Learn the Sacred Art of Thai Massage on Vancouver Island!

Thai Massage is an ancient form of bodywork that combines, compression, stretching, twisting, and    meditation to release energy blockages, alleviate chronic pain, calm the nervous system, and improve  mobility and circulation. It supports the free flow of intrinsic energy within your body, helping you to feel more in harmony with your essential self! Deeply interwoven into the practice of meditation, it is great for both giver and receiver. This is a deeply relaxing and invigorating treatment.
