“To reteach a thing its loveliness is the nature of metta. Through lovingkindness, everyone & everything can flower again from within.”
– Sharon Salzberg
As an ancient discipline of well-being, Thai Massage has been used for over 2500 years.
Based on the principles of metta– loving, conscious presence; the ultimate goal of giving & receiving Thai Massage (after relieving your aches and pains of course ) is to balance the energy flow in the body, promote detoxification of the cells, open energy channels, and invoke a regulated Body Mind connection.
Clients report feeling a relief of weight and tension, heightened mental clarity and a deeper connection to their fuller selves.
It is known by many people as an essential component to overall well- being. Modern Thai Massage is a powerful tool for release in a modern busy, stressful & sedentary lifestyle and is adaptive to all levels of movement ability.

Thai massage is a therapeutic bodywork discipline that integrates mind, body and heart, through assisted stretches, acupressure, rhythmic compressions and deep breathing to create an experience of physical relief, deep relaxation, and overall well-being.
All Bodylight Thai massage is performed with comfortable clothing on a mat or table, without the use of oils and can be easily modified to suit the clients’ preferences for pressure and range of flexibility.
✳︎ Pressure can range from very light to very deep, as desired.

This delightful heated herbal acupressure treatment helps to relieve stiff/sore muscles and joints, alleviate inflammation and stimulates the organs of the circulatory, digestive and nervous systems. Inhalation and absorption through the skin of the herbal steam also gives relief from chest/sinus colds and flu symptoms and supports detoxification.
Like Thai massage, the heat therapy with herbal compresses has positive effects for your body, mind and emotional well-being. Thai herbal bundles are handmade in Thailand from a recipe of organic herbs that has been used for over 5000 years. The bundles are steamed and pressed along the limbs and back for a relaxing, uplifting and profound sensational experience.

My Signature Treatment: hot stones are placed on the body (through clothing) to melt tension tissues, invited circulation into key areas while relaxing the nervous system and activating the body’s natural healing response.
The stones have been collected by me all over the world in rivers, oceans and from on mountain hikes. This deeply nourishing & grounding energy treatment will offer you a deeply restorative and “connected-to-all-things” kind of experience!
Lately I’ve been using smooth gemstone sand crystals with clients as well to amplify the relaxation and clarifying effects that come with integrating healing stones in with the bodywork.

Get ready to harmonize from the inside out! Another signature treatment that offers a multi-disciplinary fusion of healing techniques to invite rejuvenation & nervous system regulation.
This powerful relaxing session will help unlock deeply held tension in the BodyMind and restore the flow of the body’s fluid energy (lymph, blood & electromagnetic current) to promote optimal vital function.
Using Thai acupressure, tuning forks, Tibetan bowls, chimes, vocal toning and energy resonance, this session allows you to release the anxiety and tension as you feel clearer and more grounded, and “in tune”!
Yes, Please wear or bring a set of comfortable clothes that will stretch with your body for all Thai Massage.
I recommend long sleeves as your nervous system down regulates, your body temperature may drop.
I recommend dark cotton clothing for the Thai Heat Treatment to reduce the chance of the herbs passing along some colour.
Thai Massage and Thai Stone are performed with the client fully dressed. While some styles of Thai massage may use oils, I do not use oil during any of my treatments.
I use my hands, elbows, knees, and feet to create the perfect pressure for you. Thai massage can range from very light to very deep according to your body’s needs.
As a practitioner, I strive to create stretching and pressure depth suited to your comfort level and ability. Please feel comfortable to let me know your preferences at any time so adjustments can be made, (even if they change over time !)
Thai Yoga Massage can be safe and enjoyable and beneficial for a pregnant mom, when observing standard precautions and avoiding key areas and sustained pressure. Please consult with your midwife or other care provider prior to your appointment, as each body and pregnancy can differ.
All clients are required to disclose previous conditions in the body so that I may accurately and safely tailor your treatment to your specific needs. Please identify all injuries or surgeries so I can avoid contraindicated postures. Please consult previously with your doctor to discuss if massage can be prescribed or recommended for your conditions.
The Circulatory, Lymphatic, Immune, Digestive Endocrine & Nervous Systems are optimized through dynamic movement, acupressure, and intentional healing touch.
The result of this stimulation allows your body as a whole to move more freely, circulate, digest, use its energy, and recuperate more efficiently for several days after your treatment.
Thai Massage is most often performed on a comfortable padded floor mat but can be easily adapted to a table.
It is best to wear comfortable clothes that are loose or that will stretch with your body during the session. No oils will be used, so you will not have to worry about your face or hair after the session.
You do not need to be flexible or know how to meditate to enjoy Thai Massage.
You do not have to already practice any kind of fitness or postural disciplines. You simply arrive, change into comfortable clothing, and breathe with a willingness to release your tension. I will support your body and respect its limitations to provide you with an experience of relief and release in the areas that affect you the most.
Thai Massage, as a healing modality is deeply rooted in an energetic and intentional connection of Practitioner to Client
The conditions for healing to occur are transmitted through Metta ( loving kindnes/ benevolence )
“May you be well”
“May illness be released from your body, mind & heart”
“May you find peace in the process of your growth”
“May you see the highest light in others and know the highest light within yourself”
Your body will require rest and rehydration after your treatment.
Thai Massage is known for promoting your body’s own detoxification process. Drinking extra water for a few days before and after your treatment will help your body flush these toxins out, extending the immediate benefits that you might have experienced for several days after your treatment.
Thai Massage can be an excellent compliment to your fitness routine or yoga practice. If you use your muscles for strength, endurance or performance at any level, you can benefit from the passive stretching that Thai Massage offers. You relax while I stretch and compress your muscles, apply gentle pressure and traction, giving you deeper releases than you might otherwise attain.
Bodylight Wellness does not diagnose or prescribe for any illness, disease or any other physical or mental disorder. We recognize that healing occurs by creating the optimal conditions for the human body's natural and innate capacity for healing & self regeneration.
