Pros And Cons Of Talking To Clients In Thai Massage Sessions
Is talking during a Thai Massage session good or bad?
Should you talk to your clients during Thai Massage therapy sessions?

What does Thai Massage have to do with depression? Thai Massage – and most massages – are probably about the farthest thing from depression that you can find. And that is why it can be very helpful.
