Thai Hand Reflexology is an ancient form of massage that is based on Thai Medicine and 'Sen Energy' healing. It is a non-invasive health technique that recognizes that parts of the body such as the hand and the feet reflect the whole body. What makes Thai Hand Reflexology different from that of Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, is the use of a wooden massage tool.


This is an exceptionally relaxing treatment to receive and provides the recipient with the chance to unwind fully. This treatment can be performed virtually anywhere, from an airplane, train or car to an office, shop, clinic, hospital or home. It is a safe, natural healing art that can be used effectively as an alternative to Foot Reflexology. For example, if someone has a foot injury, a leg and/or foot in a cast, ticklish feet, or if they don't want their feet worked on for personal reasons.


Thai Hand Reflexology is empowering, because whether someone suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, sinusitis, headache, needs relief from stress, or to boost immunity, it can help. An added benefit of Hand Reflexology is that the Practitioner can use the techniques on themselves.


What you will learn in this course:

  • Benefits of Hand Reflexology and how the Reflex points refer to organs, systems and bones of the body.
  • Learn 30-steps of work for a relaxing Hand Reflexology Massage sequence to mobilize and warm up the wrists, fingers and hands, prior to working on the Reflex points with the wooden stick.
  • Learn how to use the wooden stick to apply intermittent pressure over 25-Reflex points on the palmar surface of both hands. This is combined with using thumb and finger slides, thumb circles or thumb presses.
  • Learn how to stimulate the 'Sen Kalathari' Energy Line for improved health and to open the internal energy flow.
  • Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to perform a 1-hour Thai Hand Reflexology treatment that includes a thorough hand and lower arm massage, using lotion and work on 25 Reflexology points of both hands with the Wooden Reflexology Stick.

What is included:

  • Picture Workbook includes step-by-step pictures with abbreviated how-to sequences, list of Hand Reflexology Points and the health benefits + 1-Wooden re-useable Reflexology Stick + Certificate at end of training day.
  • Unlimited 90-day video On-Demand Access to practice Zoom video.

Livestreaming Online Course option is available:

  • Students may attend Virtually Online (we use Zoom Media) for the day, from 9:30AM - 5:30PM Alberta Time Zone. Workbook + Reflexology Stick will be mailed prior to training event.
  • A hand model is nice to have, but not necessary. If you can get a friend or family member to sit and have you practice on them, we suggest having someone available between 11AM - 12PM or 12:30 AND/OR 2-3 or 3:30PM
  • Online students will have unlimited 90-day video On-Demand Access to a practice Zoom video.
  • Certificates of Completion for Livestreaming students are available immediately after they have virtually attended 100% of the course.

The method of using Hot Herbal Compresses is inherited from local Thai wisdom and Old School Doctors. The Herbal Compress contains a combination of traditional Thai Herbs and is heated in a steamer. The warm bundles are applied directly to the skin or over light clothing during a massage session.


The Compresses can be used on almost any part of the body, (except for the face, where different ingredients are used) depending on where the illness, pain or discomfort is - such as legs, feet, knees, back, waist, hip, shoulder, arm & hands, stomach and side of the body. Generally, the blend of traditional herbs are used to relieve sprains and strained muscles and tendons, stiffness in joints, inflammation and also stimulating blood circulation. The Compresses have a relaxing and invigorating effect on the body and mind, while simultaneously soothing sore and over-worked muscles and giving a boost to the body's energy levels. The aromatherapy effect from herbs such as ginger, galangal, kaffir lime and turmeric are heavenly.


In a typical treatment, gentle pressure and compression are used to stimulate internal organs, relax tense muscles and calm the nervous system. Passive yogic-like stretching adjusts the skeletal structure, increases flexibility and restores movement. Often compared to a dance, it uses rocking motions. Ideal for those desiring a deep relaxation, immunity boosting, release from stress, enhanced flexibility, as well as for those seeking to increase their level of health, well-being and vitality.


What you will learn in this course:


  • Learn about the properties and health benefits of 10-herbs that are typically used in the Compresses.
  • Learn how to apply Thai Massage and the Hot Herbal Compresses with the recipient in the Supine & Side Lying positions.
  • Upon completion of this course, you will be able to offer your client a 60-90 min. Thai Hot Herbal Compress Massage treatment, working the whole body, from head to toes, with or without oil.
  • All of the Hot Herbal Compress techniques may be applied in any holistic body therapy technique or regular massage routine.
  • Learn how to prepare, steam and test the Herbal Compresses for heat before applying to the body, in addition to the method and precautions of applying the Compresses in a treatment.
  • Students will receive Thai Hot Herbal Compress treatments from their partners, clothed in the Traditional Thai Massage method with shorts or leggings + tank tops or other lightweight top. Students will be shown how to also use oil and draping methods.
  • The Herbal Compresses may also be used in self care at home. The balls can be re-steamed and applied to areas of discomfort or placed in a bath, to be used as an infusion.

What is included in this course:

  • Picture workbook of Thai Massage and how to use Herbal Compress techniques, shown in a step-by-step manner.

  • Workbook + Reflexology Stick will be mailed prior to training event.
  • A Foot Model is nice to have, but not necessary. If you can get a friend or family member to sit and have you practice on them, we suggest having someone available between 11AM - 12PM or 12:30 AND/OR 2-3 or 3:30PM
