TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE & MEDICINE 

 INTENSIVE COURSE

Are you interested in learning the art of Thai Massage—one of the most comprehensive courses available that covers the mind, body, and spirit?

Look no further—Francie, an experienced and knowledgeable instructor, offers an intensive course that teaches the techniques, culture, and spirituality of this ancient tradition, with a special emphasis on maintaining the integrity of the lineage and honouring traditional values.

Over the course of eight days, you will learn the classic Northern-style routine, which derives from the Old Chiang Mai Hospital in Thailand. The course is primarily hands-on, and you will learn around 180 techniques, significantly more than needed to create a 90-minute session, providing you with creative alternatives to customize your session fully.

In addition to learning the techniques, this course covers foundational knowledge of Thai Medicine, which is essential to understanding before practicing Thai Massage. You’ll also learn about the history of Thai Massage, self-care for practitioners, how to start and end sessions, Sanskrit mantras, Wind gates, Sen lines (pathways), working stances, transition moves, form and fluidity, massage routines, cultivating Chi, meditation, and Qi Gong. Sharing circles are included to foster connection and personal growth.

While learning this incredible ancient art, you’re likely to make new friends and share plenty of laughter along the way. The learning environment is safe, sacred, and fun, offering a supportive space to grow and connect with others as you deepen your skills.

In Foundation 1, you will learn the supine position; in Foundation 2, you will learn the sideline, prone, and seated positions. You need both foundations to perform a full-body massage and receive a certificate.

As mindfulness is the most essential attribute of an exceptional Thai Massage practitioner, each day starts with Qi Gong, mantras, and/or meditation.

Francie emphasizes the practitioner’s alignment during the techniques to ensure students receive the maximum physical benefit.

Space is limited to twelve students; register early to secure your spot as the course often sells out.

A phone consultation and a $600 deposit are required to reserve your space; full payment is due on the first day of class. Admission is open to all—no massage experience is required. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to deepen your skills, this course provides everything you need to practice Thai Massage authentically and confidently.

$2111 CAD for eight days (60 hrs), from 9 am to 5:30 pm, including the training manual.
