What is Thai massage?

Thai massage is a form of bodywork performed on a mat on the ground. Unlike classic western massage, the Thai massage client remains fully clothed. Thai massage includes a combination of compressions, kneading, and assisted stretches to bring the client through a wholistic manual therapy treatment that regulates the nervous system as well as heals musculoskeletal and energetic ailments. Thai massage is an integral part of Thai medicine, which developed over many centuries in Thailand with the influences of the medicine practices of neighboring countries such as India and China (Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, etc). Thai massage has roots in Buddhism as Thailand is a Buddhist country. It can be as spiritually profound or as tactical and practical as you desire.

My Thai massage treatments are a blend of following traditional routine while also being lead by intuition.

What should I wear?

Please wear stretchy or loose fitting clothing that is comfortable, covering, and that allow you to stretch and move easily. Dark colors can be best as the hot herb packs can sometimes stain white clothes. In Thai massage you will be assisted through a myriad of dynamic stretches and movements on a mat on the ground. It’s important that you are fully clothed and fully comfortable!

How much does it cost?

Treatment sessions cost $200 cash, check, or Venmo. Tipping is not expected on top of this rate as I fully believe in bodywork being a medicinal treatment, not a spa experience.

Where are you located?

Madrona Healing Arts is located a small red building, “the red shed”, in downtown Sisters along S Fir Street. Parking is available along the street or by the Village Green park. Once you schedule a session I can give further details on how to find me.
