I came to Thai Massage because of a strong interest in oriental medicine and walked away from Foundations 1 & 2, with the skills needed to preform a relaxation style Thai Massage. I enjoyed the hands on practice that this course provided, and would recommended Tara as a knowledgeable and sensitive instructor. I truly enjoyed the training, gained more confidence and took my practice to the next level.

"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

About Thai massage
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.
