I had the privilege to study traditional Thai massage in Thailand with a wonderful teacher, Homprang. She and her husband Christopher own the beautiful Baan Hom Samunphra retreat center just outside Chiang Mai, Thailand.

For ten days, I practiced, stretched, breathed, and was moved around alongside six other practitioners from five other countries. This intimate class size in a beautiful setting was fantastic! It was hard work though; classes were six hours per day and sometimes we continued practicing later after dinner.

Homprang’s strict teaching style and the intensive hours paid off — I learned a lot! Here are some photos taken by the fabulous Justine Webster, my dear friend and travel partner for my six weeks while away. I’m thrilled to be back and share my new skills. My clients seem to be enjoying it too!
