I came to discover Thai massage through other forms of body practice, like acroyoga, singing, and dances such as tango or contact improvisation. This lead me to see Thai massage not only as a relaxing practice, but mostly as a way to help the body to operate closer to its full potential, with more ease and in a more coordinated way. I want my practice to help receivers to unlock their limitations, move better, feel less pain and be more energised.

After extensive research and practice, I started to offer my massages and loved the feeling of it. I was happy with my practice but grew hungry for more. I then decided to move to Chiangmai, the Mecca of Thai Massage in Thailand, to study it and practice it extensively for four month.

More about my story with Thai Massage

I made a point to study in various contexts and schools, from big classes with other occidental students to private classes where I could ''feel'' rather than understand. Different approaches and points of view have enriched my practice and made me more able to adapt my sessions so they fit the need of the receiver as best as possible to help them feel better.

To name them: I studied at Lahu Village with Chachoi, son of Asokananda, before moving to Sunshine Massage School for advanced classes with Itzhak Helman and then under Flora Bisogno for Dynamic Thai.

I continued my studies with the great Suriyan Punyafoo who specialises on the study and teaching of the Sen, with Remco on the subtlety of the body mechanics in Thai Massage and Chi Nei Tsang, and with Kom at Loi Kroh School for specialty courses on the use of forearms, elbows, feet and knees in Thai Massage.

Classes on their own mean very little on a learning path, however... So it is mostly many hours of daily practice that made my Thai massage sessions grow into a natural flow, where space is opened to listen to the receiver's need and their response to the massage.
