Having taught this workshop for many years, I have welcomed and celebrated the fine-tuning of familiar moves and the introduction of new moves from students in classes who have generously shared their knowledge. Any gathering of massage therapists is a gold mine of wisdom and creativity based on experience in the treatment room, and I am a dedicated miner.

The stretches you will learn can be done with the client awake or sound asleep, draped or fully clothed. You will learn specific treatment modalities for plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. We will explore treatments for low back pain and range-of-motion issues for the neck, shoulders and hips. You will learn techniques including the 30-second stretch, fascial release and the saltwater taffy method and their various applications.

We start each day's class with self-stretching on a mat on the floor, enabling you to prepare your body to work. Many of the self-stretches are adapted from the moves you will be doing on the massage table. The stretches are thorough and gentle. As we stretch I will lead a verbal review of anatomy so we can visualize exactly what we are stretching.

You will receive a handout with full text and professional photographs so that you won't need to take any notes during class.

Private Lessons THAI MASSAGE: PRIVATE TEACHING SESSIONS How do private teaching sessions work? I charge $140 for a two-hour teaching session. I charge the same for one person as for two, giving you some options. Some students opt to bring in an existing client as a model, who then splits the cost of the session. Some find other students who also want to learn Thai massage with whom to split the cost. The advantage of a study buddy is that you then receive Thai massage for half of the session, enabling you to feel each move. You also then have someone with whom to practice outside of class. How many sessions does it take? The answer varies widely based on how committed you are as a student to practicing this work outside of class. My preference is to work in two-hour sessions no more than once or twice a month, giving you a chance to absorb, integrate and practice the moves. It may take you years to feel comfortable with the work, but by then you will know it in your bones. The Thai Massage Workbook gives you an excellent study guide, with drawings and detailed text. Please contact me with any other questions. ^ TOP

Testimonials A few quotes from past students: "Kay's class was excellent! Her materials are well put together and easy to follow with clear instructions...I highly recommend this course..." "Kay worked with everyone and made sure that we "got it." Money well spent." "The best part...was your cheerful, energetic and caring attitude! I don't think it would matter what you were teaching, it would be fun!" "What I liked the best is the relaxed environment for massage and an articulate and effective instructor." "Loved your class Kay! I use a lot of the stretches in my massages and my clients love it! They say that my massages have gone to another level. The whole experience was wonderful for me. Thank you Kay for being a great teacher and giving so much of yourself." Georgia Kronenberg, LMP ^ TOP
