Our Process

THE PROBLEM

Massage therapists in Saskatoon…

If your hands feel tired after a full day of treating clients, you are not alone.

Most therapists rely heavily on pressure-based techniques.

Over time this leads to:

  • Hand fatigue

  • Physical burnout

  • Repetitive treatment results

  • Limited progression in client outcomes

There is a different way to work.

THE SOLUTION

Thai Table Assisted Stretch Training

This is a structured, table-based system that combines:

  • Assisted stretching

  • Thai massage techniques

  • Acupressure

  • Clinical movement work

You learn how to work with the body instead of forcing through tissue.

This creates:

  • Better client mobility

  • Less strain on your body

  • More effective treatments

Who Is Your Teacher?

In January 2020, I flew to Thailand to study authentic traditional Thai massage in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. That single trip changed everything. I came home, left my long-time corporate sales career, and by the end of that same year opened Thai Massage YQR in Regina – right in the middle of a global pandemic.

Since then I’ve returned to Thailand almost every year to deepen my practice with some of the most respected traditional teachers, including upcoming training in January 2025 in Bangkok with Wassa Lakkham (direct Pichest Boonthumme lineage). I also regularly attend the intensive week-long training camps in Cesenatico, Italy, studying with Europe’s top Thai massage and fusion masters (OsteoThai, Dynamic Thai, Thai + Tok Sen).

Back home I’m proud to be one of the only instructors in Canada offering the full 225-hour NHPC-recognized Thai Massage Practitioner certification program. I’ve personally taught and guided dozens of students – from absolute beginners to experienced RMTs – through Level 1–3, 13 Syndromes, and advanced electives, helping them add this powerful modality to their practices or launch brand-new careers.

My teaching style is hands-on, encouraging, and focused on real therapeutic results. I keep classes tiny (maximum 6 students) because I want every person to leave confident, safe, and ready to give incredible sessions from day one.

When I’m not on the mat teaching or treating clients, I’m planning the next adventure – whether it’s bringing new techniques home  from Thailand and Italy, or growing our Thai massage community in Saskatchewan. 

If you’ve ever been curious about traditional Thai massage – as a practitioner, a client, or both – come join us. I can’t wait to welcome you.
