“It is obvious how passionate Jill is for Thai massage. I love how calm her approach is to this beautiful modality. This class exceeded my expectations and was the perfect intro to Thai massage. I liked how informative but simplistic the course manual is and how Jill guided us through each section with demos. This class also helps therapists work on bettering their body mechanics. I already love stretching my clients and will now have more tricks in my bag!”

Heather B.

“This was the best CE course I’ve ever taken. I left ready to start practicing each day. The visual aids provided to take home made a big difference. I will be adding Thai to my practice and 100% recommend this course. It changed my whole approach to massage!”

“The class environment was very relaxed, there was no pressure, and the instructor and TAs were very helpful and attentive. Class content was easy to learn and observe, and I enjoyed following along with the books as we were guided through the techniques. This material will allow me to address the body in ways I never have before. I highly recommend this course to others!”

Akeri

“Class information was clear and precise. Every question asked in class was answered. We were given clear email communication prior to class and everything we needed for the course was provided. I recommend this course to other LMTs to preserve therapists’ longevity and provide more alternatives to a variety of clients. I feel like this material has already enhanced my practice.”

Thai Massage Training FAQs

Do I need to be physically fit, young, or flexible to attend your Thai massage training?

Not at all. We offer modifications for most physical limitations. Practiced properly (which we will teach you) Thai massage is very easy on the practitioner. We have loads of examples of our students that entered our Thai massage training program with an issue (bad knees, thumbs, wrist issues, and more) and improved these issues by practicing Thai massage. It is one of our biggest “whys” for teaching Thai massage. You can actually improve your physical health by practicing Thai massage!

Do I need to be a licensed massage therapist to take your Thai massage training?

Not exactly…Our Thai Massage Trainings are primarily geared towards licensed massage therapists. We occasionally accept non- massage therapists under certain conditions. You can take our Thai Massage training if you have another license to touch such as physical therapists or occupational therapists. You can also take our trainings if you only plan to practice on family and friends and not accept any compensation for the Thai Massages you perform. In order to accept any form of compensation you must have a license to practice massage in your state. The onus is on the individual to know and adhere to the laws in which they reside.

I am a yoga teacher. Can I perform Thai massage after your Thai massage training?

In most states, NO. In our base state of North Carolina, the law is clear, yoga teachers can not practice Thai Massage. You need a valid massage license to practice Thai Massage.

Do I need to have a Thai massage mat to attend your Thai massage trainings?

No, we provide Thai massage mats to use at our trainings in you can not bring one. We also have our own line of premium Thai massage mats for sale at a discount during classes. If you can’t get a Thai massage mat right away we recommend starting with the Thai massage 3 day intensive course as about 75% of what we do in that class can be adapted for a massage table.
