The 8-week Professional Pathway Program is an intensive journey designed for those serious about mastering Traditional Thai Massage. This comprehensive program is structured to transform passionate learners into skilled practitioners through a carefully balanced curriculum that challenges both mind and body. It’s an immersive experience that includes a strategic rest period half way to optimize learning and integration.

Foundation | Professional | Residency

This program is particularly suited for those with clear professional aspirations in Thai massage, offering a depth of knowledge and breadth of techniques that prepare you for professional practice. While demanding, this program rewards dedication with a profound understanding of Thai massage and the practical skills needed to become a professional.

Starting with the 2-week beginner’s course, we follow Asokananda’s advice to repeat this fundamental class.

Followed by a week to review and deepen the acquired knowledge in the bridging course.

Then, 2 weeks of advanced training:

Week 1 addresses the full body massage in the side position

Week 2 introduces advanced techniques and stretches.

You will also learn how to make and apply herbal balls.

And have the chance to put your knowledge and techniques into practice at a home for the elderly, giving supervised massages in the mornings, and receiving feedback and additional teaching in the afternoons.

This is a very intensive training and students can learn quite a lot in a relatively short time. In previous years we noticed that while many students completed the training without problems, some found it a little too hard and became stressed. Based on this experience, we have added a week off after the first four weeks of training.
