Wow Shama.. really impressive!! I love it!!!
I am practicing Swedish Massage in my clinic here in Toronto, and it is killing my wrists and shoulders even though I got trained in college on how to balance body momentum in massage therapy. Thai Massage opens a completely brand new door to how and where to utilize different techniques to promote range of motions and break down tension of body.
Can’t wait to walk through the rest of the module series before I move on to enrollment into actual training!
Can’t thank you more Shama for your splendid work!
These are wonderful techniques to use. I can’t wait to learn more. they will come in very handy for my own reflexology business.
Really nice video. Thank you.
Amei!! Gratidão!! Estou no Brasil
.
Thank you so much! You finally educated me on what Thai massage actually is. My previous impression of what I thought it was was SOOOOO off! And I am very enamored already and want to learn more! Looking forward to the next video 🙂
I am glad to hear that this video changed your perception of Thai Massage!
I am quite impressed with the information provided. Looking forward to the next set of videos.
Thanks Lynn, I am glad to hear that.
Hello Shama Kern,
I am unable to view Lesson 1, Lesson 2 and Lesson 3. Please let me know if I am trying to open them incorrectly?
When I test it, everything opens as it should. So there is no problem at our end. Please try using another browser or another device and see if that helps.
Wonderful intro. Thank you! I will be signing up, soon! ??
Beautifully precise and clear. Thank you x
Hey…this is a great thing …im happy to
Learn n share this new but ancient form of healing. I just turned 60 but i feel 39 because ive had many massage sessions….
Now im excited to get certified to contnue sharing this healing art with as many people possible for general well-being….
Peace
Great review for me
Looks like a very laid back approach to providing an effective massage.
I am not sure I would call it laid back, but there is an emphasis on ideal body mechanics that enables you to have more power with less effort. There is also a lot of emphasis on working in such a way that therapists don’t hurt their own bodies. In short, it is a therapist-friendly style.
This is wonderful to hear and exactly why I’m interested but I’ve just learned that there is so much more to Thai massage that I didn’t realise. Excited to learn more and hopefully be able to practise massage again.
It’s very useful video, I learned a lot of things, thanks for your guidance
Thank You for the first video, I am excited to start the Head and shoulders course
