Thai Yoga Massage combines the best of yoga and massage. Thai Massage focuses
on activating the body’s sen lines (energy), through stretching and massaging
the pressure points. The practitioner and the client move as one to create a
flowing meditative experience. Your treatment is performed on a mat in
comfortable clothing and is customized to your needs. This ancient practice can
provide amazing results to reduce stress, ease discomfort and create profound
feelings of relaxation.

Thai Massage also helps with sports injuries and chronic pain.

*Note: Don’t be afraid of the word “yoga” in this massage. People have been
pleasantly surprised by how relaxing this massage can be. It really could be
called “Thai Stretch Massage”.

“The lotus is a symbol of loving-kindness and compassion (metta). As such ‘Lotus
Palm’ means “the compassionate touch” which is the spirit of this kind of
massage.

This is an integrated approach that honors the traditions of Thai Massage and
establishes its Indian ayurvedic heritage but which tries to blend the strengths
of both Eastern and Western approaches to healthy living. As such special
attention is given to the effects of the massage on the skeletal, circulatory,
muscular and nervous system.

Lotus Palm teaches a form of Thai Yoga Massage that caters to the tastes and
demands of Western society. It takes into consideration how people in North
America tend to overuse their back, neck and shoulders and wish for considerably
more attention to those general areas.

After the death of the Buddha, the earliest Buddhist monks who travelled to
Southeast Asia were accompanied by Ayurvedic doctors. These doctors practiced a
healing art that would later evolve into traditional Thai massage.

Traditional Thai massage developed over millennia within the environment of
Buddhist temples. It flourished as a way for spiritual people to share the
benefits of meditation and compassion in a physical form. It is a respected form
of healing practiced today in hospitals and temples throughout Thailand.

I tried a Thai Yoga massage and loved it!  It was like doing yoga without having to work at it and having a wonderful massage at the same time.  I couldn’t believe how energized and relaxed I felt after.  Michelle definitely has the art of massage perfected and I look forward to offering her services to my guests.

"I recently received a Thai Yoga massage from Michelle and was amazed! I felt "loose as goose" afterwards physically and very relaxed mentally as she was able to ease me into a lucid state of meditation. She was has an obviously strong grasp of this method as I am still reaping the rewards days afterwards. She was able to to work specific problem areas for me and i will definitely be seeing Michelle on a regular basis."

have just arrived home after a most delicious experience. My first Thai massage with Michelle Humen. 
I have had many types of massages from some of the best and  I was very impressed with the care and ambience Michelle took the time to create. Her Thai massage was a totally new experience for me and  
I especially  love the way it encourages an active and subtle participation with every gentle stretch.  It helped me to have her reminders  to breathe as  I found myself feeling  peaceful in a very meditative state.
I will definitely recommend Michelle to my friends. She was fantastic.
 
EXPECT GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN!
