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.

Utterly Fabuluous!

I had been looking for a couple of years for a place – locally – that would do Thai Massage the way it is meant to be performed. It was fortunate that I came across the The Massage Academy website during my last search. I have had the benefit of Traditional Thai Massage in the past and have become very particular to this authentic treatment. I am very content to say that I have found that which I have been looking. Vivian is very professional and friendly and added to the relaxed, clean and uncluttered environment. The treatment was amazing and performed with the appropriate pressure and flow. Enough time was taken before the treatment to understand my needs/concerns so that the massage focused to help address these ailments. Then after the massage there was time alloted to review the completed treatment and log what had been discovered by Vivian that would be address during my following sessions. I am completely satisfied and looking forward to my next session, shortly.

Wonderful, personalised massage

Vivian was wonderful: I had intense neck pain for several weeks from working on my laptop and she focused on that area and the surrounding zones, expertly working out all the tension. I have had a lot of thai massage (in Thailand, New Zealand and France) and her technique was exceptional. Highly recommended!

The most therapeutic/deep massage i have ever had!! This is the real thing.

The best thai aromatherapy!

You have to try the Thai aromatherapy, it was absolutely hands down the best oil massage ever! It is much better than the Swedish massage as it uses more techniques and pressure to get out the tension while leaving you feeling completely relaxed and in a state of bliss! The establishment is also nicely decorated and clean. The calming music, the aromatherapy scents filling the air, and the courteous and professional therapist added to the soothing experience. I will definitely return upon my next visit back to Montreal. 10 Stars and Two Thumbs Up!!!

Best Place for a Real Deep Tissue Massage

If you are looking for a real deep tissue massage, this is your place. It is going to hurt but you will feel the benefits at the end. Best place I went so far.

Best of the Best!

The Massage Academy is the best of the best!!! I’ve spent alot of time in Thailand and I can say that Vivian gives the best Thai massage ever!!! Not only is she welcoming, courteous and professional, she intuitively knows how to heal the body. Knowledgable and attentive to my body’s needs, she seems to tailor make the massage session specifically to help me address my problem areas. Her massages are as therapeutic as they are relaxing. I feel as if I’m walking on clouds after every massage session and the benefits are so long lasting, which is great! I highly recommend Vivian and The Massage Academy. And on an extra note … Vivian is delightful and caring person with a vibrant personality. Conversations are always interesting … and the studio very zen. This just all makes my Thai massage experience that much more enjoyable! So thanks!

Great Place! Very Professional!

Great place! Very profesionnal. They will really work on your tense muscle and heal the pains. They’ll also give you advice on your posture so you stop storing that stress.

Perfect in Every Way!

This is the BEST place to get an authentic Thai massage! Vivian, the therapist I had, was amazing – better than the ones I’ve tried in Montreal or Thailand. I think what made the difference was the massage was designed to my needs and incorporated alot more stretching than the typical Thai massage sessions I’ve received elsewhere. She knew exactly where my knots were and the pressure was perfectly adjusted to what I needed. My entire body and problem areas were completely free from tension … I have never felt so good after a massage! I even bought a package! I highly recommend this place – definitely worth going!

What a wonderful experience …

Wow, what a wonderful experience! If you’re a fan of Thai Massage you will love it !!! Vivian is truly an expert ! She is professional and friendly (good sense of humour). She is very intuitive and was able to find and release all my back, arms and legs tensions. She knows where to work on using perfect pressure and her entire body. The combination of acupressure, trigger point therapy, reflexology, rhythmic compressions and assisted stretching, left my muscles warm and relaxed. I went home and took a hot epson bath, paradise on earth!!! I highly recommend you to try The Massage Academy… Thanks Vivian.
