Thai Massage
The ancient art of traditional Thai Massage is a complete naturally balanced program of passive and assisted yoga-like stretches combined with acupressure. Thai Massage works on your major meridians, or energy lines (in Thai they are called "Sen Sib") that run throughout your body.
As it is easily possible in everyday life to have these channels of life force blocked or constricted by muscles that have become tense or short from misuse, over-working, or by simply not being used enough. Thai Massage aims to stimulate the flow of energy to harmonize and balance the body and to loosen any blockages along the "Sen Sib" lines.

Your Thai Massage
To give and receive Thai Massage is a meditative practice. It allows the therapist time to understand the client and gives you the opportunity to focus and learn about yourself. After a 2-hour treatment both yourself and your practitioner (Sarah Kirby) will feel relaxed and energized.
Along with influencing the energetic side, Thai Massage works on your physical body. Starting at the feet and progressing up to the head, you will be moved, loosened and stretched. The therapist (Sarah) will use body weight, hands, feet, knees and elbows to press on your muscles to free any tension and will use yoga-like stretches to balance your energy levels.
Thai Massage is performed on a futon mattress on the floor. The stretching movements are performed in a slow-rocking rhythmic pattern. No oils or lotions are used as it is done over loose fitting clothing (preferably cotton).
