About the Instructor

About Danielle:

My first introduction to Thai massage was straight from the source, in the motherland & birthplace of 4 Element Theory: Thailand! Little did I know at the time how much that practice influenced my life and how deep the receiving was! 

 

I was blessed to visit with locals in my late teens and couldn’t wait to go back. Working and living in SE Asia teaching English allowed me to save the money I needed to attend Traditional Thai Massage schooling shortly after getting my massage license back in the USA in 2008. 

 

I’ve since studied Eastern style massage extensively in the forms of: Reflexology, Shiatsu, ZenThai Shiatsu, Vedic Thai technique, Marma Point Therapy and roll it all into one unique, limitless routine that is my own sustainable version of Thai Massage! I use the practice and techniques of table massage to also influence my moves so that I can work on any body, no matter the size and still feel embodied, strong and clear. 

 

I teach with embodiment of the individual in mind. We each have different innate gifts and limitations and through my years of teaching massage & yoga am able to recognize and see each individual’s secret sauce! Finding our own embodiment, inside of our bodies, what is true and authentic to self, is the lens in which I teach. 

 

I also focus on staying stable and centered, moving from your own core, while learning to experience the meditation of giving and receiving in a safe & sustainable way. You will feel rejuvenated, nourished and balanced in both giving and receiving this massage style. 

 

I love giving & teaching Thai style massage because it is for the purpose of loving kindness towards ourselves & another. I am blessed to have the opportunity to teach and never stop learning, growing and receiving from this practice. It would be an honor to share it with you!

Thai Massage

Thai massage works the relaxing effects of massage, the stretching of yoga, and the spiritual wellness of energy work into one session. The modality is more physically dynamic than a typical massage. Sessions are performed on a floor mat with the client fully clothed. The practitioner helps the client through yoga-based, assisted stretches while pressing on energy and pressure points along the body. Because of it’s similarity to yoga, some people refer to Thai massage as “Thai yoga massage” as well.

Along with teaching the modality as a whole, Thai massage training can teach you how to improve your flow with better sequencing, incorporate the classic Thai herbal balls or start using your bare feet as tools. You can also learn how to adapt Thai techniques for table massage or work with special circumstances like pregnancy and disabilities.
