Traditional Thai Massage
Traditional Thai Massage is a transformative experience that blends massage with deep stretching, rhythmic compression, and mindful movement to promote balance and harmony in your body and mind. Often called “lazy yoga,” your practitioner will massage and move your body using this ancient practice to increase flexibility, relieve tension, and improve circulation, leaving you deeply relaxed, yet energized.
Thai Massage treatments take place on a traditional Thai mat on the floor, with clients wearing loose-fitting pants or shorts and a tank top to allow for ease of movement.
Traditional Thai Massage also supports the body’s natural healing process by aligning energy pathways, reducing stress, and fostering a profound sense of well-being. Whether you are seeking physical relief or emotional renewal, this holistic approach restores vitality and inner peace.
Please Note: this service is not covered by third party insurance.

Book NowAcupuncture
Together, Rose and Thomas offer a deeply integrative and holistic approach to healing, rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and enriched by a range of embodied, therapeutic modalities. Their work combines acupuncture with complementary treatments such as acupressure and Tui Na massage, cupping, gua sha, abdominal therapy (Qi Nei Tsang), medical Qi Gong, and breathwork. Thomas’ sessions may also incorporate biodynamic craniosacral therapy, sound healing with singing bowls and tuning forks, hot stone therapy, and personalized herbal medicine.
Their care extends beyond physical treatment to include somatic awareness practices, body alignment guidance, and tailored lifestyle and dietary recommendations that reflect seasonal and individual needs. Each session is thoughtfully adapted to the unique constitution of the individual, creating a gentle yet powerful healing experience. This practice supports a wide range of concerns, including pain management, nervous system regulation, stress and overwhelm, mental health, sleep issues, digestion, hormonal balance, fertility, pregnancy care, recovery from surgery, and overall vitality. They work with patients across all stages of life and have a particular sensitivity to supporting those who are highly sensitive or neurodivergent, as well as anyone seeking greater balance, resilience, and connection.
At the heart of their approach is a commitment to addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than offering temporary relief. By working with both the body and mind, they help shift long-standing patterns and support lasting transformation. Their sessions create a safe, grounded space where clients are invited to slow down, reconnect, and access their body’s innate healing intelligence.
Rose and Thomas share a deep belief in each person’s capacity to heal and evolve. Through compassionate, intuitive care, they support clients in cultivating awareness, restoring balance, and stepping into a more vital, aligned, and empowered way of being.
