Massage Therapy

With 15 years of dedicated study and practice, Matthew Wakem offers a powerful and rare form of Thai bodywork rooted in the esteemed lineage of Master Pichet Boonthumme in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This unique approach focuses on long-held compression to relieve deep layers of tension, release energy blockages, and promote healing. In addition to traditional Thai stretching and breathwork, each session is a blend of Eastern modalities tailored to your specific needs. A session may also include shiatsu, acupressure, cupping, gua sha, abdominal massage, or deep-tissue oil therapy.
