A Note From The Owner
Victoria – Owner, Therapist and Instructor
Welcome to the wonderful world of Santi Thai Bodyworks!
My passion for Thai Massage started after a career change which opened the doors to this unique and multi-faceted body work. I was compelled to learn all that I could about the power of this modality, and quickly found myself travelling to the very birthplace of Thai Massage: Chiang Mai, Thailand.
In Thailand I enrolled in a Traditional Thai Massage school and learned the history behind this ancient tradition, human anatomy, fascia or ‘energy lines’, and the authentic movements and body work. I extended my studies abroad to learn Reflexology and Abdominal Detox techniques.
As a certified International Thai Massage (ITM) teacher I also instruct individuals who wish to pursue body works as a career, or as a hobby.
Wanting to expand upon ancient therapeutic modalities, I continued my education in Rishikesh, India – The Birth Place of Yoga. After learning and practicing traditional Yoga and yogic breathwork, I completed my certification as a Yoga Teacher.
I incorporate all of this learned ancient knowledge into my work, including breath work, stretching, energy line work, massage, and meditation. This type of body work eases pains, promotes better blood flow, and energizes the body. I can’t wait to work with you.
