Medical Massage
The Traditional Medical Massage of Thailand, more commonly known as Thai Massage, is one of the world's oldest healing modalities. It originated in India during the Buddha's lifetime, over 2500 years ago, and was brought to this world by a saint, the "Father Doctor Shivago Komarpahj", a contemporary of the Buddha and some say his personal physician and the physician to the King of India.

After eight years in New York City, I decided to return to North Carolina, moving to Asheville in 2003 and adding a second residence in Raleigh in 2010. My winter of 2010 was spent in Thailand furthering my studies in meditation, yoga, and Traditional Thai Yoga Massage. The jewel of my studies in Thailand began with an introduction of ‘Chi Nei Tsang’ at the Tao Gardens and continued with a personal certification in the work studying with the renowned Thanachi of Chiang Mai. I have taken the amazing work of Thanachi’s ‘Chi Nei Tsang’ (deep abdominal and organ/visceral manipulation) and combined it with my years of experience in a more neuromuscular approach to the core of the body, to form a modality that is proving to be exponentially powerful. To date, EVERY client who has received this work has experienced some type of positive and measurable energetic shift in their body. My plans are to begin teaching this body of work both nationally and internationally in the near future.
Myofascial Therapy
Mattes Method myofascial release technique incorporates AIS which uses active movement and reciprocal inhibition to achieve optimal flexibility. Using a 2.0-second stretch has proven to be the key in avoiding reflexive contraction of the antagonistic muscle. Without activating muscle group contraction, restoration of full range of motion and flexibility can be successfully achieved.
Acupressure
The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing. Receiving a Thai Yoga Massage is a bit like doing yoga without putting forth any effort while also getting acupressure treatments.
Acupuncture
Although East and West have different viewpoints on health and life, these can complement one another. The Eastern belief is of a primary flow of energy throughout the body, which runs along certain channels known as meridians. It is also believed that this energy exists throughout the universe and that all living creatures are dependent upon it as much as on physical nourishment. The energy is known by three similar names, ki, chi and prana in Japan, China andIndia respectively. As in acupuncture, there are certain pressure points on the meridians that relate to certain organs, and these points are known as tsubos.
