Doing Thai Massage professionally is of course more than taking a few months of Thai Massage training courses, opening a practice, and start giving massage sessions.
As with any other massage or bodywork profession, there are many aspects that come up, need attention, practice and experience, such as administrative, legal & financial issues, client intake, sessions & follow-ups, ethics and etiquette, the working ambience and environment, continuing education, personal growth, and work-related stress, to name some of the things you’ll need to deal with when you are a massage therapist.
Additionally, when you are a professional Thai Massage practitioner you’ve also entered a very specific domain — it’s an ancient, extremely versatile, and multi-style modality, a traditional healing art that includes spiritual and meditative connotations, which needs an open heart and mind, a lot of experience and dedication, and a particular kind of approach.
My idea was to support, guide, and empower both new and seasoned Thai Massage therapists and masseurs with an open-hearted book that is based on years of practicing Thai Massage professionally. A kind of practical, real-life guide about the job, the art, and spirit of Thai Massage.
I thought the book should discuss the Thai Massage art itself — including its place within the broader realm of the Thai Healing Arts — the clients, the therapist, the sessions, methods and techniques, therapeutic work, and the spiritual characteristics of giving Thai Massage.
At any rate, I hope with Professional Thai Massage to have created a down-to-earth, cut-to-the-chase companion giving Thai Massage therapists important tips, pointers and support to keep doing their jobs professionally, responsibly, and joyfully.
