Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient form of full body treatment that combines passive stretch, compressions and acupressure, in a rhythmic and systematic routine.

Testimonials
level I
Incredible RMT and Teacher. I recently completed my Thai Massage Course with Andre and he is so patient, extremely knowledgeable and makes the course so enjoyable. He takes notice of how each student learns, then explains & demonstrates everything so clearly that everyone understands.
The course itself was affordable and I left confident in what I learnt. I would highly recommend. I will be going back to him in the future to continuing my training. He is a human FULL of incredible experience and information.

Andre is hands down the best RMT I have ever been to.
He’s immensely knowledgeable, skilled, professional and very efficient.
I’m blessed to have him as my therapist and teacher
I have experiences and completed his brilliant Thai Massage course recently.
He’s very attentive and passionate about what he does and it reflects in the way he instructs you.
If you are seeking for an amazing therapist and a teacher, that you can feel is invested in you, Andre is the one!
K. Grabara
level II
I’ve taken two of Andre’s Thai Massage courses, both the level I & II now and he’s a phenomenal teacher.
It is clear he has taken the time and practice to develop his own skills and to seek knowledge from a variety of teachers throughout his career. This makes Andre a well of information and his patience, professionalism and open approach to things make him an excellent teacher to learn from.
I can’t recommend taking his courses enough for any practitioner looking to expand their skill set or knowledge.
But also, having been treated by him through the hours of the courses I can also confidently say he makes for a fantastic Massage Therapist not just teacher. He is calm, patient, kind and genuinely seeks to understand why you are in discomfort or pain and try to help you figure it out and help you work towards whatever your treatment goals are.
