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.
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.
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.

This was the most wonderful massage I ever had. I got a referral from a friend and I wanted to try it out. I went there this Saturday past and the masseuse, Vivian, was very friendly, professional and has the hands of an angel; she recognized the areas of tension in my body within the first 15 minutes. My back ache is practically non-existing as of now; she found areas of my body that I never realized were making me stiff. She did what 2 chiropractors could not do. I would highly recommend this place.
I’m a Registered Acupuncturist in Vancouver with over 14 years experience. I’m really happy to have found The Massage Academy in Vancouver. I’ve been to Thailand many times and I find Thai massage to be very therapeutic. Not only does Thai massage work on the whole body and touch upon important meridian lines to release blocked energy, it also incorporates various massage techniques – from acupressure, reflexology to trigger point therapy – to relax the body and employs the use of stretching to open up the body to increase flexibility and mobility. Vivian is an excellent Thai masseuse and I found her to be better than the practitioners I encountered at the top spas in the 5 star hotels in Thailand. She is very gifted with intuition and that is evident in her massages. She knows how to apply appropriate pressure and she massages the right points – I highly recommend her. In closing, acupuncture helps with many ailments, but often to maintain good health, a various combination of treatment therapy is required … and Thai massage is one to be included! Here’s to good health to all!
Wow, what a great experience! Vivian might be small but she is powerful! If you’re a fan of Thai Massage you will not be disappointed; this massage rivaled any that I have received in Thailand. And to those of you whom have yet to try a Thai Massage you are in for a treat! Vivian uses her entire body to leverage pressure directly to the parts that ails you. The studio is calming, comfortable, and conveniently located. You have got to try a Thai Massage, you will not be disappointed!
This was my first Thai massage and it far exceeded my expectations. The combination of stretching and massage is wonderful. Vivian applied the right amount of pressure with a lot of communication on what worked for me. The studio she uses is very quiet and 90 minute massage was like a mini vacation. I came out of it the same way I feel after a 60 min float in a isolation tank.
This massage was really amazing! I never had a massage of any kind before so going there I was nervous in terms of what to expect. The studio was a relaxing environment. Vivian started with a thorough examination to find out what parts of my body needed attention and what kind of pressure to apply. The combination of massage, stretching and acupressure was very relaxing and therapeutic. Vivian knows what she is doing, she is nice to talk to and she is very professional. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a massage. And I will definitely go again. Thanks!
When I arrived, I had so much pain in the lower back. But after getting a full consultation and a brief agenda what needed to get done, I received the best Massage ever. Vivian was awesome and relieved me from a lot of pain. Due to my condition she couldn’t not remove all my aches, but i could feel she worked very hard and focused. I’m so grateful for her professionalism and I’ll definitely return for another treatment!
I came in stressed and overwhelmed. I left floating — the most healing experience of my year.
Three years of chronic pain addressed in one hour. I only wish I had come sooner.
This isn't just a massage studio — it's a sanctuary. Every detail is intentional and warm.
