Thai Massage Level One Training

This CEU course will provide you with foundational training to deliver a therapeutic 90 minute Thai Massage. Thai massage is a fully-clothed treatment performed on the ground or on a futon. It involves passive stretching, range of motion and joint mobility, acupressure, and deep tissue pressure. The therapist uses her hands, elbows, feet, knees, and back to create a rhythmic dance leaving the client refreshed, relaxed, and open. Jaina Portwood has been practicing massage therapy since 1998, and has worked in many different settings, clinical, spa, and private practice. She brings a wealth of experience to this training and is thrilled to study with you! We will keep the group small, to assure you get really attentive and professional training. Next Training:
