Totally worth the investment

I’m a Swedish massage therapist and wanted to add more to my repetoire. I’m very happy with this workshop. Vivian is an excellent teacher, one of the best I’ve encountered in my 8 years in the massage field. She is attentive, skilled and dedicated. I learned alot. I’ve offered a few Thai massage to my clients already and they love it! Thank you! Will recommend.

Learned an immense amount

I participated in the Thai massage level 1 A workshop and it was completely worth it. I learned alot in 3 days. I have no previous massage experience, but i’ve come out with a great touch. Vivian is a strict and astute teacher, she catches our mistakes and was very patient and dedicated to correcting us. Thanks Vivian … I’m certain I’ve become great at giving better massages because you showed me how.

Course is beyond my expectations!

I have taken the The Massage Academy Level 1 & 2 with Vivian. After doing some Google searching, I was super excited that Bodhi was the only place offering training available on a weekend. This course was conveniently split into two weekends while all other options would require me to take a week off work. I also liked the fact that I could dip my feet and take only 1 portion to see how I liked it before committing to the entire course. This left me with more ease, and flexibility. Vivian was an amazing leader and teacher. She helped make everyone feel welcome and having a smaller class setting made this hands-on experience much more enjoyable. Vivian was able to give more attention to her students as needed. Vivian is also very successful in her line of work. Her knowledge & skills were very prominent throughout the course. She is kind but direct & ensures that you are doing everything properly in order to succeed & keep your own body feeling safe & good while you are massaging. You will have great laughs, and learn so much with Vivian! She is confident in what she does, & so very helpful in making sure you succeed. This course was beyond my expectations. I learnt so much content and felt very ready to start Thai Massage on my own right away. Vivian is always there to help even after the course is over! The course outline was easy to follow, and very informative. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in expanding their knowledge or taking a new direction in life.

Hanaa Mi, Massage Therapist with 12 years experience, Morocco

Suk is a very effective person who works with a big heart, a very important attribute in our field based on communication and healing through touch. She is also an active, attentive and generous person; not only does she possess a very caring personality, she is always willing to give a helping hand when needed. I have experienced Suk’s massage while in Watpo Thai Massage School in Thailand and I would highly recommend Suk to potential clients.

Andrius Jovaisas, Sports Massage Therapist & Teacher, Lithuania

Suk is a gifted Thai massage therapist whom I had a pleasure to get to know while travelling and studying massage in Thailand. Suk’s great massage skills come from extensive training, awesome personality, and vast knowledge of how the body works. Sukn works with, not on, her clients. Her work is always focused on her client’s needs and she is totally committed to increasing her clients’ wellness and health. It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for Suk, certified Thai Massage therapist. I recommend Suk without any hesitation for anyone who needs a superb massage with the great healing touch.

Raksamorn Klinsukhon, Chetawan Watpo Thai Traditional Massage and Health School, Thailand

I’m a teacher with Chetawan Watpo Health School in Thailand. I have over 10 years experience. From my experience, Suk is a very talented massage practitioner. She knows how to properly apply pressure and has a good intuitive touch. She is also very kind and has a very friendly personality.

Yolanda Rickli, Massage Therapist and Beautician, Switzerland

Suk is an outstanding massage practitioner and well suited for the role. You can feel the love she has for the job and the excitement she has for bringing health and wellness to her clients. I feel lucky to have been massaged by her nimble fingers. I feel so relaxed after a massage session with Suk. She is really talented and also has a very friendly personality. I highly recommend everyone to get a massage from Suk.

Ayal Sagie, Massage Therapist, Isreal

I’m a massage therapist and I had the pleasure of studying Thai massage in Thailand with Suk. During our studies, I was exposed to the wonderful ability of Suk, which was to give personal attention to each patient according to their needs. While other therapists sometimes “just push on the points by the book”, Suk understands the importance that every move be given at the right point and pressure for that patient. She pays great attention to patient response and their body language. And I think that’s what distinguishes her and makes her such a great therapist.

Valeriya Mihailova, Physiotherapist, Switzerland

I’m a Physiotherapist from Switzerland with 10 years professional experience. I met Suk while travelling in Thailand and have had the opportunity to receive a few amazing Thai massages from her. In my opinion, she’s knows how to apply pressure well and has a good intuitive touch. Pleasant and friendly, and with a professional and warm attitude, Suk channels her energies well in helping the client to relax. I would highly recommend Suk to potential clients and employers alike.

Katja Willeschek, Corporate Consultant and Yoga Instructor, Switzerland

For over 10 years I have put parts of my life into people care as a Yoga-teacher. I know the importance of a sensitive touch. Thai Massage is quite different from the mainstream wellness experience. Traditional Thai massage with Suk is well-being in a new way. Her ability and skill in sensing pain points and giving a specific focused treatment are amazing. Because this type of massage is not just a soft touchy oil massage, I could relax and enjoy her work – same day – and next day! Crazy – her massage reached me much more the next day. As an office-worker I always have neck-shoulder pain. Two treatments from Suk and I had a complete different relief than after doing my yoga exercises or other techniques. My recommendation: See her three times within two weeks and you’ll feel your body like it was many years before: relieved, flexible and comfortable. Thanks Suk, I’m looking forward to coming back.

Valerie Lynnyk, Yoga Instructor and Thai Masseuse, Ukraine

I met Suk at Wat Po TTM School in Salaya, Thailand. We took the Professional Thai Massage for Health program where we spent a couple of hundred hours in the classroom giving and receiving massages to one another and to clients as well. Suk is one of my favorite masseuses – she has a great sense of feel and touch for the human body. She also gives good pressure during massage – just perfect for relaxation. She is attentive to what her client says, and she cares a lot for the result of her work. I had a great time under the care of her powerful and gentle hands.

Best Thai Massage Ever!

I honestly love Thai massage and find it extremely therapeutic. I was looking for a Thai masseuse in Vancouver and came across The Massage Academy. I must say the massage from Suk was absolutely fabulous! She really has the intuitive ability for massage and is able to find and loosen the knotted spots. That massage was three days ago, and I’m still completely relaxed! Suk is AMAZING! I highly recommend her!

Amazing Massage!

I called up and wanted a massage to help me relax so that I could get a good night’s sleep. It was wonderful to have someone come to my home where I could thoroughly enjoy a nice aromatherapy, where afterwards they leave and I can just carry on resting. The massage itself was amazing! Totally relaxing and great therapy. I had one of the best sleeps ever and I started the work week feeling completely refreshed! Thanks Suk for a wonderful massage!
