There are two styles of Thai massage. The Southern style originated in Bangkok and focuses primarily on acupressure and energy lines and employs a much stronger pressure. The Northern style from Chaing Mai is a slower and gentler (yet this is still a very strong) massage. This massage combines acupressure, yoga-like stretches, and massage to create a truly holistic massage experience. 

Northern-style Thai massage will be offered. 

In a traditional Swedish massage, it is typically given on a table with the recipient unclothed. One usually feels relaxed with a sleepy/foggy brain. Whereas recipients of northern Thai massage typically leave feeling relaxed and invigorated.  Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor and the client is fully clothed. 

Two individual 60-minute sessions will be offered each month.
