Thai massage by Marije
The Thai massage is a beautiful ancient tradition which mainly aims to restore the energy balance of the body. The masseur applies a mix of yoga stretches and acupressure. In this way your muscles and joints become supple and energy blockages are released. The effect is that more space is created in your body on a physical and energetical level. An effect that lets you relax and recharge for the challenges life sometimes has to offer.
The massage is performed on a mat, while you are wearing your comfy clothes*. You don’t have to do anything yourself, this is why this massage is also called ‘yoga for lazy people’;) Hands, feet, the fore arms or the occasional elbow are the ‘tools’ of the masseur. It makes the Thai massage somewhat infamous for being a harsh form of body work. But don’t worry…with a skilled masseur this is not the case. Yes, at some moments some people might experience it as challenging, but the massage will always be performed in a mindful way which is tuned into you and fitting your capabilities.
About Marije
After having discovered the wellness of the traditional Thai massage during one of my travels, I decided I wanted to learn more. Up until now I have followed 1 year of training with Tirza Bottema at Thai Dee (Preventive masseur in Thai yoga massage, 2017). To refresh my knowledge and skills I subsequently took a course at the Sunshine School in Chiang Mai in 2018. In my daily life I maintain a regular Ashtanga yoga practice, which in my personal experience is a very good (meditative) foundation for performing the massages. It is wonderful to learn from all my inspired teachers, I hope I may keep on learning from them in the future! And..I hope to share the richness of the Thai massage with you!
