Thai Massage
*Please note that I am currently spending the winter leading yoga teacher trainings in India.
Thai massage focuses on opening energy blocks within the body to promote relaxation and healing. The combination of static and dynamic movements, stretching and compression, acupressure points, body harmonics, and transmitting positive intentions stimulates the flow of energy following the body’s natural energy lines. Therapeutic thai massage aims to treat the root cause of imbalances in the body in addition to relieving tension. Each massage is tailored to individual’s specific needs and becomes a meditative experience for both the giver and receiver.
One of my teacher’s, Till Heeg, sums up what thai massage is all about in this video.
Pricing
My goal is to make thai massage more accessible financially. By working freelance there is no overhead cost to pay to a spa or leasing space (a 1.5 hr thai massage at established spas typically goes for $120+). In my opinion a fully body treatment should last between 1.5 – 2 hours to allow for proper warming up, covering the whole body, directing attention to areas where extra attention is needed, and concluding. One hour massage is also available for those with busier schedules or for a more focused therapeutic massage.
*Oils are available during the face massage portion of the session for no extra charge (typically oils aren’t used in thai massage but massage is about what makes you comfortable).
About Me
I am a member of THAI, the Thai Healing Alliance International, and have completed 300 hours of cumulative training at the Thai Massage School Shivagakomarpaj and Sunshine Thai Massage Network schools in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I am also a 500 hour certified yoga teacher, spending winters as a trainer of prospective yoga teachers at Smriti Yoga in Goa, India. I am a Reiki Level 2 practitioner and am also available for reiki treatments or they can be incorporated into massage as well. My goal is to bring the wisdom of eastern healing techniques back home to the west.

Chris is incredible! I’ve suffered from various aches and pains through out my body and his methods have worked wonders. I highly recommend asking for the minty face oil ( not it’s proper name) when getting the head massage.

I was lucky enough to receive a massage from Chris after his first trip to Thailand. As one of his friends, I was excited to exploit his newly learned talent. Despite my impromptu request, Chris was incredibly professional and giving offering his healing energy. I thought I knew what to expect, having received countless Swedish massages before, but the combination of acupressure and stretching surprised and transported me into a deep relaxation very quickly. I cannot wait to book an appointment and receive the full experience of Thai Massage.

I consider myself fortunate to have been given multiple Thai massages from Chris during our training together. He approaches the body with incredible clarity, care and compassion, always creating a safe and comfortable environment. Thai massage is a beautiful healing practice of sharing and connection and I am so honored to have shared and learned from such a great friend and master.

I recently got to experience one of Chris’ wonderful massages and highly recommend them! After receiving various Thai massages in Thailand, I’d have to say that this one was my favorite, as Chris makes you feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process and incorporates very effective stretching into the complete body massage that’ll leave you feeling more energetic and limber.

Thai massage is really something beautiful when experienced from a caring and mindful practitioner. I would tell anyone who is in the area to check Chris out. We attended a couple of massage workshops together and from the first exchange you can feel the intention and care he put into his work.

Chris is great at Thai Massage, because he truly intends to heal through his work. I have received plenty of traditional massage and nothing comes close to Chris’s Thai Massage. Thanks for the exceptional experience.
