Our Story


Sometimes there is a spark deep inside telling us to do the thing which makes our hearts sing with joy. To follow this path it requires courage, boldness, trust, and a leap of faith.

Thai Massage Vermont is that spark for me. I am overjoyed to be practicing Thai massage and also sharing my knowledge and love of massage with you.

Thai Massage Vermont focuses on relieving pain, relaxing the body, relaxing the mind, and reducing stress. Each massage is based on your goals for the session. Each session is always a little different from the time before.We believe it is possible to combine the healing nature of touch with evidenced based massage techniques to create a relaxing and therapeutic Thai massage experience for you.
