This is the perfect course 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 Thai Yoga Massage Level 1 & Level 2 and explores 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:

  • 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 elements of Thai Yoga Massage that you are taught in Module 1 and Module 2: some Reflexology for the feet, work on the 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. Full body work from head to toes, including massage for neck, shoulders, arms, hands, face, scalp and lower body.
  • Upon completion of this course, you will be able to perform a 60-90 min. Thai Yoga Massage on the Table.

Many students ask me what the difference is between this course, and taking the Thai Yoga Massage: Supine & Seated (Level 1) and the Thai Yoga Massage: Side Lying, Prone & Seated (Level 2) courses and I would say:

  • The Module 1 & 2 courses combined require a full 6-days to complete the training and offer the student a very comprehensive set of massage and in particular - the passive Yogic stretches. In these courses, you use your elbows and feet, whereas in the Table course, we do not. This is more to do with the fact that the techniques are more complex and varied in Module 1 & 2.
  • I like to emphasize that the Thai Massage on the Table course offers you a taste of the possibilities of what Thai Yoga Massage has to offer - it teaches you a little bit of some very effective massage and yogic-like stretches. You will come away with many massage options, but if you are really looking to offer some very unique Thai Yoga Stretches to your clients, you should consider taking the Level 1 and/or Level 2 course(s). You are permitted to take the Level 1 & 2 courses using a Massage Table. I have had many students do this and it is very easy to adapt the moves onto the Table. There ARE some limitations, though. You can't do all of the work on the Table. You simply need to be on a mat, where you have a lot of room to move, lift a leg in the air as you stand, etc.

What is included in this course:

  • Workbook with pictures and step-by-step abbreviations for all Thai Yoga Massage sequences
  • Unlimited 90-day Video On-Demand Access to the Zoom recordings of the training event. The link(s) will be provided to you approximately 7-days after you have completed your training.
  • Online Students: You will be mailed your Workbook. If you register for a pre-recorded course, you will receive the Zoom On-Demand Access recordings of the training event within 24 hours of registering. If you register for a course that is being recorded in the future, you will have the opportunity to participate in the Live Group Chats throughout each day. You will also receive the Zoom recording links for unlimited access for 90-days. You will be mailed your Certificate once you have completed a 1-hour private Zoom meeting with me to review any techniques and address Q & A's.
  • In-person students will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the last training day.

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.

What is included in this course:

  • Workbook - includes full colour Reflexology Chart, step-by-step descriptions and pictures, plus full list of 58-Reflexology Zones, health benefits and locations
  • Re-Useable Wooden Reflexology Stick
  • Unlimited 90-day Video On-Demand Access to the Zoom Media recordings of this training event. The link(s) will be provided to you approximately 7 days after you have completed your training.
  • You will be presented with your Certificate of Completion at the end of the training day.

Livestreaming Online Course option is available:

  • Students may attend Virtually Online (we use Zoom Media) for the day, on Mon. Nov. 27th from 9:30AM - 5:30PM Saskatchewan Time Zone.
  • Workbook + Reflexology Stick will be mailed prior to training event.
  • You will be emailed a PDF Reading Assignment, along with instructions on how to prepare for the training event upon registration.
  • A Foot 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.

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.
