What Our Students Are Saying

“

Having completed all of Shama's online courses, I have been putting my Thai Massage skills into practice. I have had 4 different live Thai Massage instructors now, 240 hours of training, and over 700 hours of sessions.

Shama's online courses are of absolute premium quality and his professionalism is unmatched. He is always available for his students in whatever ways are needed. No teacher has the tools available or has organized their material better than Shama.

Shama's teachings and trainings put my skills together like no one else could have.

Shama Kern's teaching style is clear, practical and truly authentic. He shares so much more than technique with his students.

His years of experience as a therapist and his ability to explain Thai Massage from a Western and a Thai perspective make his courses one of the best options available in online training.

Shama uses his online forum to foster a personal connection with each student. You will never feel alone. Rock solid training with a superb teacher.

Shama's online training videos are a valuable resource for anyone, new or experienced, wanting to improve their knowledge and technique.

Even though I am a long time practitioner and Thai Massage teacher and have produced my own guidebooks and videos, I still find his material to be extremely helpful, and I can highly recommend watching them often, to anyone.

They are a valuable contribution to the evolution of this amazingly effective healing art. Thanks, Shama, for your good work!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about learning Thai Massage with us

What is Thai Healing Massage Academy?
Thai Healing Massage Academy is an online Thai Massage training school founded in 2001 by Shama Kern, who has lived in Thailand and taught Thai Massage for over 20 years. We offer 20 video courses for all levels, with certification, CEUs, teacher support, and lifetime access. See all our courses.
Who are the Thai Massage courses for?
Our courses are made for massage therapists, yoga teachers, bodyworkers, and other healing arts professionals who want to add Thai Massage to their skills. They also suit motivated beginners with some body awareness. If you already work with touch and anatomy, online training is a realistic and effective way to learn.
Do I get a certification when I finish a course?
Yes. When you complete the qualifying requirements you receive a certificate of completion. Thai Healing Massage Academy is an approved provider with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, and several courses carry NCBTMB approved CE hours. Read the full certification details.
Do Thai Massage courses count for continuing education (CEUs)?
Yes. Many of our courses are approved for NCBTMB continuing education hours, including our flagship Complete Thai Massage course with 30 CE hours. Completed hours are reported automatically to CE Broker in Florida. The number of CEUs is listed on each individual course page.
How much do the Thai Massage courses cost?
Our courses range from small focused trainings starting around 37 dollars to the full Complete Thai Massage system at 379 dollars. Every course is a one time payment with no subscription, and you keep lifetime access to the material. Compare all courses and prices.
How long do I have access to the course material?
You have permanent access. Unlike a live class, where the information is gone once it ends, you own the course material and can review the videos and transcripts any time, even years later. This makes it easy to refresh your skills whenever you need to.
Is Thai Massage hard on the therapist's body?
It does not have to be. Our whole system is built on body weight mechanics that protect your hands, wrists, shoulders, and back, so you can work without strain. Many therapists come to Thai Massage specifically to save their thumbs and extend a long, comfortable career.
What makes Thai Healing Massage Academy different from other schools?
Shama Kern personally teaches every course, and our training is designed to feel as close to a live class as possible. Students get real teacher support, a large student community, lifetime access, and a satisfaction guarantee. We have thousands of graduates and tens of thousands of forum posts sharing their results.
