Thai Bodywork, also known as Thai massage or Thai yoga massage, is a traditional healing art that originated in Thailand over 2,500 years ago. ****This is not a conventional massage therapy service!**** It combines elements of yoga, acupressure, and Ayurveda (the sister science of yoga) to create a therapeutic and deeply relaxing experience for the recipient. Practitioners use their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to gently stretch and manipulate the recipient's body into yoga-like poses and stretches. By applying pressure to specific muscles and points along the limbs and body, practitioners aim to balance the body's energy and promote healing. Both the practitioner and recipient focus on deep breathing throughout the session. This helps to enhance relaxation, deepen stretches, and facilitate the flow of energy. Unlike some forms of massage, Thai bodywork is performed fully clothed (typically in loose, comfortable attire). This allows for ease of movement during the stretches and ensures the recipient's comfort.

Benefits of Thai Bodywork include reduction of muscular tension, stiffness, and pain, increase in flexibility and mobility, increased circulation, aids in lymphatic drainage and detox, improves sleep, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, decreases inflammation, relieves stress ad anxiety, and creates a deeper mind-body connection

A somatic-based approach and my experience working with trauma and grief clients combine with traditional Thai Bodywork, making my Thai Healing services incredibly unique and different from any other bodywork service. (Somatic experiencing focuses on the connection between the mind and body, emphasizing awareness of bodily sensations, emotions, and patterns of tension.) I guide clients using somatic techniques to become more aware of their bodily sensations and breath. Emotions stored within the body can wreck havoc, leading to physical manifestations such as tight muscles, restricted movement, and pain. This awareness helps release stored emotions, tension, trauma, and stress held within the body, promoting a deeper sense of relaxation and healing. This approach combines with energy healing, drawing from ancient Shamanic traditions, Reiki, and Chinese medicine, to work with the body's energy system, aiming to balance the flow of life force energy, supporting the body's natural healing processes.

Assisted stretch therapy is a personalized, hands-on approach to improving flexibility and relieving muscle tension. During a session, I guide you through a series of targeted stretches tailored to your specific needs and goals. Unlike self-stretching, I provide gentle support and resistance to deepen your stretches, enhance your range of motion, and help you achieve a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.

Various techniques, including passive stretching, active-assisted stretching, trigger point therapy, and breath work are used to further enhance the benefits of the stretch.

The goal for assisted stretch therapy is to help you achieve a balanced and relaxed state, improve your flexibility, and reduce muscle stiffness, ultimately supporting your overall physical health and performance.
