Thai massage
emotional healing · trauma resolution · rebalancing · restoration · relaxation
Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient therapeutic practice. It is calming, soothing and relaxing while the therapist works on alleviating tension and stress from the tissues of the body. By using techniques such as palming, thumbing, pressing and stretching, you are moved you through a series of applied yoga poses that open the joint, lengthen the muscles and stretch the connective tissues. This technique restores the tissues to a healthy state unblocking the sen energy channels, restoring balance in the body.

Meet Val
I was born and raised in Thailand, where my journey with Thai massage began at a young age. As a little girl, my grandparents taught me the basics so I could help relieve their aches and pains in their backs, legs, feet, and arms. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the extent of their discomfort—until I grew up and began working a job that required standing all day. I started experiencing the same issues: neck, shoulder, and back pain.
To find relief, I sought out different treatments, including Chinese massage, Swedish massage, oil massage, and acupuncture. However, I discovered that Thai massage was the most effective for me. It’s a tradition passed down through generations, and I finally understood why it has remained so popular. After a Thai massage session, I felt refreshed, alive, and motivated, always arriving at work with a renewed sense of energy and a smile on my face.
Having experienced the toll that muscle and joint pain can take, I truly believe that Thai massage can benefit the mind and spirit as much as the body. I’m passionate about using my skills to help others feel youthful and healthy again, just as I did for my grandparents all those years ago. It’s an honor to share this healing tradition with others, providing the same care and relief I’ve found in my own life.
