“I feel fortunate to have viewed Shama Kern’s comprehensive and informative Thai Massage instructional video series. The series is well designed, thorough, and inspiring. The classes are flawlessly presented and elegantly executed. I have the greatest admiration for Shama’s enthusiasm as a first-class educator. He is coming to you with the qualities of a natural educator: genuineness, warmth, compassion, and integrity. He also brings his enthusiasm for providing ongoing Thai massage educational videos. It is exciting to think of the ways in which he might contribute to your life. Shama Kern is, quite simply, the most remarkable educator I have ever met.”

“I have incorporated many of the Heavenly Head Massage moves into the endings of my acupressure work, body psychology work, and Thai Massage work. Yes it lends itself to EVERYTHING that I do. Your videos are of HUGE benefit for me. Your efforts are being communicated in a very peaceful, calming and nourishing way. Thank you for all of this!“
Janet Sinclair, massage therapist and counselor

“I am a MS patient who has been working with this disease pattern for 14 years. Shama agreed to treat me daily for 5 weeks. The Thai Massage, the energy work, and the Heavenly Head Massage that Shama performed on me were profoundly healing. In fact I would go so far as to say that the results were miraculous.
Several friends witnessed my progress under Shama’s care and also began to receive his treatments. One elderly woman said that she had been seeing doctors and healers for acute mercury poisoning and fibromyalgia, but she had never gotten as much help from anyone as from Shama.”

“This was very exciting work. I myself have found relief in my hip that has been in chronic pain for almost 20 years. Learning Thai Massage from Shama has been fun and exciting. After learning a short routine, one of my Swedish Massage clients came in with chronic pain of the Sciatic nerve which I could not release. However when I used your wonderful lower body work, she experienced 100% relief.” Tracy Jessiman
“If you want to experience the ultimate in Thai Massage video classes….this is the program for you! This material has brought my bodywork skills to a whole new level…one that my clients just love to “float upon”!”

“My massage with Shama was incredibly intoxicating, blissful, and I felt some major evolution in my being happening. I think he opened up levels of my body awareness in a very gentle yet demanding way. It felt like we were dancing as two, and I was able to communicate without words to him what I needed (even if I didn’t know it myself). His use of traditional massage as well as his more spiritual body/mind awareness, led me to a very out of body experience at the end, where I felt above and beyond my body, on the ceiling almost, yet more grounded and vibrating on the physical realm than I have ever felt with body work before. His heavenly head massage cannot be missed, either. “

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s module! I love the fact that I can go back and watch previous modules whenever I want. The course is worth every penny, and I let everyone know how great it is! My clients love what I am doing and it’s only getting better. Thank you!

“Your videos are awesome. Your explanations why you would do one move and not the other (i.e. for different body sizes and different flexibilities) are brilliant as this has never been explained to me. I love your rocking moves – so much easier on the thumbs. I also like the way you talk about how to smoothly get into positions and exactly why you are in those positions. The course has really been enjoyable.
I feel like I am progressing with the things that I already should know from previous studies, but you have made it all come together by explaining so much. Thank you so much!!“

“The first time Shama touched me, I knew immediately that he had a gift that can neither be taught nor acquired. Thirty years of massage from dozens of practitioners, as well as my own diverse training, enables me to say with confidence that his work is unparalleled – in great part because so much of Thai Healing Bodywork is Shama’s ingenious creation. Simply put, he is the best. Once you experience Shama’s work, you never again feel quite satisfied with anything else.”
Peter Stamm, Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Thai Massage Practitioner

“Participating in a four week, 80 hour course, with Shama in Chiang Mai has become the most life changing experience I have ever had. Not only was I exposed to the amazing culture and people of Thailand, but I studied with a true master of Thai massage and healing work. Shama not only taught me the many positions and postures, but also showed me how to become a healer as a bodyworker. This was a challenge that has changed my entire perception of massage. I cannot wait to go back for some more advanced coursework!”

“My knee was traumatized. After one treatment from Shama, the pain was greatly reduced and most mobility was restored. After the second treatment the improvement continued. The overall treatment was great!”

“When we first started, I was very locked up in my upper body and could not even clasp my hands behind my back in the simplest yoga pose. Now I can clasp my hands and bring them halfway up behind my back, and I can take full, deep breaths! As long as you do bodywork, I want to be a client of yours.”
Cindy Howard, Massage therapist

Thank you so much for how much you give…your time, your knowledge, energy and your love for people. All is very much felt.“

“Shama has gently worked deeper and deeper to my main problem areas with his gentle rocking techniques, to places which no other massage therapist has ever found. After just 6 sessions all my aches and pains are practically non-existent anymore – amazing!“

“I have a persistent shoulder problem which has been causing me a lot of discomfort. I have tried many therapies and it was not until I had a session with Shama that I started to get relief. His techniques are very different from other massages I had. He has the ability to get straight to the source of the problem. I also found it refreshing that he actually listens to what I have to say and works on the areas where I feel I need the attention. After several sessions with him I can honestly say that this is the first time in a long time that I feel a steady improvement.”
