Thai Hand Reflexology is an ancient form of massage that is based on Thai Medicine and 'Sen Energy' healing. It is a non-invasive health technique that recognizes that parts of the body such as the hand and the feet reflect the whole body. What makes Thai Hand Reflexology different from that of Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, is the use of a wooden massage tool.


This is an exceptionally relaxing treatment to receive and provides the recipient with the chance to unwind fully. This treatment can be performed virtually anywhere, from an airplane, train or car to an office, shop, clinic, hospital or home. It is a safe, natural healing art that can be used effectively as an alternative to Foot Reflexology. For example, if someone has a foot injury, a leg and/or foot in a cast, ticklish feet, or if they don't want their feet worked on for personal reasons.


Thai Hand Reflexology is empowering, because whether someone suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, sinusitis, headache, needs relief from stress, or to boost immunity, it can help. An added benefit of Hand Reflexology is that the Practitioner can use the techniques on themselves.


What you will learn in this course:

  • Benefits of Hand Reflexology and how the Reflex points refer to organs, systems and bones of the body.
  • Learn 30-steps of work for a relaxing Hand Reflexology Massage sequence to mobilize and warm up the wrists, fingers and hands, prior to working on the Reflex points with the wooden stick.
  • Learn how to use the wooden stick to apply intermittent pressure over 25-Reflex points on the palmar surface of both hands. This is combined with using thumb and finger slides, thumb circles or thumb presses.
  • Learn how to stimulate the 'Sen Kalathari' Energy Line for improved health and to open the internal energy flow.
  • Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to perform a 1-hour Thai Hand Reflexology treatment that includes a thorough hand and lower arm massage, using lotion and work on 25 Reflexology points of both hands with the Wooden Reflexology Stick.

What is included:

  • Picture Workbook includes step-by-step pictures with abbreviated how-to sequences, list of Hand Reflexology Points and the health benefits + 1-Wooden re-useable Reflexology Stick + Certificate at end of training day.
  • Unlimited 90-day video On-Demand Access to practice Zoom video.

Livestreaming Online Course option is available:

  • Students may attend Virtually Online (we use Zoom Media) for the day, from 9:30AM - 5:30PM Alberta Time Zone. Workbook + Reflexology Stick will be mailed prior to training event.
  • A hand model is nice to have, but not necessary. If you can get a friend or family member to sit and have you practice on them, we suggest having someone available between 11AM - 12PM or 12:30 AND/OR 2-3 or 3:30PM
  • Online students will have unlimited 90-day video On-Demand Access to a practice Zoom video.
  • Certificates of Completion for Livestreaming students are available immediately after they have virtually attended 100% of the course. If 100% attendance is not possible, it is OK for the student to finish studying the course at their own pace with recorded Zoom Videos of the event and in this case, a 1-hour Zoom Private Evaluation Meeting with the Instructor must be arranged before a Certificate is issued and sent in the mail.

Foot Reflexology is an ancient form of Massage that has been used for more than 3,000 years to stimulate the body's internal organs as well as blood and lymph circulation. It is a non-invasive health technique that recognizes that parts of the body such as the feet, reflect the whole body.


What makes Thai Foot Reflexology different from that of Traditional Foot Reflexology is the unique use of the re-useable wooden tool - this greatly helps to decrease stress on thumbs and other joints while performing the treatment on clients.


What you will learn in this course:

  • How to stimulate 58-Reflex Zones, using a wooden massage tool, along with using flat knuckle slides on the plantar, medial & lateral sides of the foot, as well as the toes. This is combined with thumb slides on the dorsal surface of the foot.
  • The work on the Reflex Zones will be combined with 31-cream based massage techniques using hands, palms and fingers to relax lower legs and massage feet & ankles.
  • Learn how to perform a 60-min. Traditional Thai Foot Reflexology & Massage treatment in a step-by-step manner, using a picture workbook.
  • This treatment may be performed on a massage table, in a chair, or bed or on the floor mat.

This Table-based Course is perfect for students who are looking to explore what Thai Massage is all about!


This course gives you a little bit of what is learned from both the Traditional Thai Yoga Massage Module 1 & Module 2 Mat-based courses and explores Thai Massage sequences and yogic like stretches with the recipient in the Supine, Prone & Side Lying Positions. If you are limited for space in your studio/massage clinic, or cannot get down on a mat to work comfortably on a client, then this course is for you! What you will learn in this course:


• Explore the healing potential of Thai Massage! This 2,500 year old healing wisdom incorporates the use of 'Metta' that is taken from the Buddhist philosophy of imparting loving kindness on all beings and is often referred to as the Lazy Person's Yoga. Recent research has found Thai Massage to have positive health benefits to easing low back pain, enhancing flexibility, lowering blood pressure and opening up the internal energy flow of the body to increase overall health.


• Learn a combination of Northern and Southern style Thai Massage and Passive Thai Yoga Stretches, as it can be applied on the Massage Table - the Practitioner has the option to either stay on the floor, or to move up and on/off the Table. Many possibilities will be explored.


• Learn 10-Reflexology points for the feet, how to work 3-major 'Sen Energy Lines' of legs and arms, Thai Yoga stretches for hip flexors, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, triceps, chest, plus R.O.M. for hips and spine.


• Learn a 60 - 90 min. full body Thai Massage sequence to include massage for back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, face, scalp and the entire lower body.


• All students will be sent a reading assignment in advance of the course.


What is included in the In-Person and Online Self-Paced/Livestreaming course:

• Workbook with pictures and step-by-step abbreviations for all Thai Yoga Massage sequences.

Pre-class YouTube video on the topic of 'Sen Energy Lines' and how to work them.

• Unlimited 90-day Video On-Demand Access to the Zoom recordings of the recorded training event.


For Online Students: If attending virtually as a Livestreaming Student, the meeting link(s) will be provided to you the same day as your registration / payment.

• You will be mailed your Workbook. Please send email to sharon@banyanthaimassage.com to provide your mailing address (please do not use P.O. Box addresses) • Livestreaming real time Students will be mailed the Certificate upon completion of the in-person course dates.
