Certification Courses

Level I. Body Massage (150 hours) - See Course Outline/Schedule | See Daily Class Schedule

Two different styles of Traditional Thai Massage are taught.

    Nuad Paan Boran: Sometimes referred to as "Northern Style" or " Thai Yoga Massage", it is used for relaxation, stretching, and healing. This style uses various parts of the practitioner's body to massage the client.

    Raachatsomnak: Also referred to as "Royal Style Thai Massage" is used for healing and The Traditional Medical Thai Massage School teaches the basics of this style for later learning of Jop Sen in levels 2 and 3.

 

Level II. Pain Relief and Foot Massage (100 hours)

The course goes into the teachings of the ancient stone carvings.

    Jop Sen: From the carvings in Wat Pho, students will learn to read and study the ten main lines. Fifty common places of pain can be healed using various healing points (some from the stone carving and some from Thongchai Onnom, a former teacher of Wat Pho).

 

Level III. Thai Massage Practicum / Supervised Internship (250 hours)

Students will develop an acute sense of the body and learn to find areas of pain in the body from the feet. The points of the body are to be known offhand and applied during a regular massage session. The two different styles of Thai massage must be put together in a way suitable for the different body types of clients.

The Practicum Class involves clinic work open to students at 10:00 AM with the last possible appointment starting at 7:00 PM all days of the week. Hours can also be obtained outside the school, with approval from the teacher. Practicing in San Francisco requires an approved Massage Permit, which students must obtain from the City of San Francisco Department of Public Health.
