A site presenting massage school programs focused on refining your techniques and deepening your Thai Massage practice.

These workshops are not exactly Thai Traditional Massage, and so have their own site. Nonetheless, we believe they are very interesting workshops for bodyworkers, advanced practitioners, and massage therapists.

❝I have just completed the 5 week course and I am so grateful for this experience. The school is an oasis of peace and warmth. Light and windswept rooms (plus fans) make learning enjoyable. The material is very clear and vivid. But the best thing are the teachers and I can highly recommend repeating the beginner courses to get to know all of them cause they have so different qualities. Everyone is highly professional and gives 100%. There is a lot of information in the 1st week, which is slowly consolidated through continuous practice. The group size (16 personas in our case) is still bearable due to the size of the room. Personally, I found the Fieldwork course to be a great challenge. If you don't have any previous Formation of massage(as in my case) you still feel very insecure about working with real patients and would have liked to get more detailed feedback from patients or teachers. That i was missing.
But it was still a good experience. This school makes me want to learn more and i'm sure to continue. Thanks again to Pop, Tiwa, Lay and Yan for their fantastic work!!!❞

❝ Just wrapped up an amazing 60-hour 10 day Thai Massage beginner course in Chiang Mai Thailand with Sunshine Massage School.
This experience was INCREDIBLE. I came in knowing very little about Thai massage, but left learning so much about Thai culture and can now confidently give a 2+ hour Thai massage. The school is cozy and my teacher Susie was nothing but remarkable. My only regret was not staying longer to further my advancement in learning!❞

❝We did Thai Yoga Massage course for beginners class here and it was fun (prices are reasonably cheap)... Sicha together with Susie are great teachers.
Learning from them was very easy. It was a worth it 2 weeks of learning during our time in Chiang Mai. We'll probably come back to learn more with different courses.
We also did Herbal Treatment & Steam Bath for 6hrs.
The facility is clean and surrounding is quite. Ambiance feels light. ✨️
Highly recommended if you are looking for a massage school or wanting to explore the world of Thai massage.❞
