Congratulations! You’ve booked your first treatment with me, and you’d like to know how to prepare, what to expect and what my therapies can do for you. This page will get you ready. :)
What can traditional Thai massage and cupping therapy do for me?
Both are a dynamic form of medicine and energetic bodywork, which:
- Relax the body
- Release tension
- Reduce pain
- Stimulate blood circulation
- Improve lymph drainage
- Boost energy
- Soothe the nerves
- Grease the joints
- Mend fascia
- Build body awareness
- Energise the spirit
- Promote wellbeing
What do I need to know about Thai massage and cupping?
How to prepare for your treatment:
- Thai massage is performed fully clothed on a mat on the floor
- If you have limited mobility, an adjusted table massage is possible
- Choose clothing that is loose and lightweight - trackies or leggings
- Avoid eating two hours before a massage
- Hands and feet are washed by me before the massage starts
- Avoid eating, bathing or showering at least one hour after treatment
- Drink warm water or herbal tea to stay hydrated and help flush toxins from the body
- A chair and massage table is provided for cupping treatments
- Cupping is performed on exposed skin at the area to be treated
- The rest of the body is kept warm and covered
- Cupping is done with glass and flame, silicone or pump cups
- There may be discoloration of the skin after cups are removed, this is normal and not a bruise, but rather indication of what toxins have been brought to the skin’s surface for release
- Gua Sha scraping and moxibustion may be used together with cupping
- Keep the cupped area warm and out of cold/wind/damp after treatment
- Avoid showering and bathing at least two hours after treatment
- Make sure you remain hydrated
- Always rest after any kind of treatment to allow the body to adjust
Who are my services for?
Anyone! Young and old.
People who work their bodies hard, such as tradies, farmers, gardeners, sporty people, or anyone with an active job. Likewise, people who sit at a desk all day, or lead a rather sedentary lifestyle, can also benefit from one of my services.
People with specific goals such as hormonal balance, improved sleep, weight loss, healthy aging, increased energy, healthy digestion, stress relief, better mobility, clearer thinking, inner calmness and reduced pain, will definitely find something of value.
Kids and teens are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Why should I trust / choose you?
Thai massage is a complex, thoughtfully crafted, and highly effective therapeutic system with a long history of development and refinement.
I’m dedicated to bringing Thai massage and its powerful therapy to as many people as possible, so its unique benefits can be experienced.
My life is committed to traditional medicine, and the never-ending learning, implementation and practice involved. Passing on knowledge to others is part of this commitment, empowering clients on their journey to long term health and vitality.
