I take the time to write all this in a hope that people would read about Thai massage, me, my practices and be aware of my strength before booking with me --- Penny Thai Origin Massage.

If you have time, kindly read here before reaching out to me and booking. I aim to be transparent, clear and clean since the beginning of this healing journey, so you can make informed decision before exchanging with me.

Unless I see a recommendation letter from your doctor | specialist | professional healthcare provider that it is safe for you to get a massage under your medical conditions before we start the session.

 

Even in modern health sciences. Anything could happen to anybody at any moment. Even with decades of experiences. We see errors, misjudging and misleading happenings all over the places all the time in the news. We, humans can only try our best with all we know and can offer. Good, bad, or ugly we can not go against the Unknown---karma---or a natural laws of cause and effect. To err is human If you know what I mean.


During the session, try to visualize sitting at the beach, or zone out to any favorite places that make you feel good. Shifting your focus to a happy memories will help relax the muscles. Talking letting more air in through your oral cavity, taking deep breaths or short meditation, inhaling more oxygen in, will accelerate homeostasis and healing process.

That is the reason why doctors put oxygen mask on patient after major operation, to speed up recovery process on chronic wound and pains. Same method in advanced Thai medical massage or pressure point technique which focus on increasing oxygen on localize and targeted muscle, to improve cell function and the immune response in that area.

After Thai massage session done, drink more water, eat more fruits and veggies. Let your urinary and excretory system flushing out bodily waste for a few days. Rest and let growth hormone do their job during the dark nights sleep before booking the next visit.

Before scheduling an appointment, please check your insurance benefits and its limit per visit before booking. Some insurance company require a doctor's note for massage coverage while others do not.

 

My receipt covered by health insurance with Sun Life | Canada Life | ManuLife | Industrial Alliance | Bankers | Meditive Blue Cross | RCMP and many others but not CAF as far as I'm concerned.
 

If you would like to claim insurance benefits. I suggest to book a 30 min or 45 minute session. So you can claim the benefits under your insurance policy and its limit per visit, per year.

​​If you need more time for your internal being. I suggest to book few visits of a 30 or 45 minute session if you want to claim the benefits under your insurance limit per visit, per year.​​

​​

With over a decade of trials and errors experience, working one-on-one behind closed doors being an actual self-made person. I have come to understand the deep complexities of human nature—from the light of love to the shadow sides of greed and fear. I believe that true character is defined by what we do when no one is watching or behind the closed doors.

My practices is a strong approach that I incorporate with many techniques I have learned in Thai massage, from basic stretching, deep controlled and targeted pressure points, kneading, and effleurage techniques.

But I at times combine my Thai massage practices with aroma oil to sooth cold Canadian weather, for clients who prefer gentler touch not my strengths, to offer a mix of both world----the east and the west. Also depend on your bodily conditions and pain tolerance when I touch. If I see that you can not take my strong hands, I might switch to relaxation massage with effleurage technique -- following the Thai massage principle on main ten Sen lines or energy paths.

So when I touch your body I will tailor the techniques, knowledges and know-how to suit your conditions.


Though I have very strong hands but I will gradually approach upon your pain tolerance.

It would be an unrealistic expectation to not feel any pain when you get massage. Your pain is already there before you see me. If not, you will not spend for therapy, nope?. But after 10-15 minutes I work on the spot you will feel much better. That you will feel lighter and loosen up after the session is done.
 
When I work, I encompass four elements; earth, water, air, fire, in my practice upon ten main energy paths in Thai massage principle, to anatomize which elements or bodily system might caused the issue when a client have questions that might need alternative opinion where they seem could not get clarity from else where. I can share some information, knowledge and know-how I get to know with you. But I always integrates Thai massage principle, knowledge, know how, energy channeling, clairsentient and claircognizant in my practice.

There are total of 72,000 energy paths through out the body working hand in hand with four elements in Thai massage principle along ten main Sen lines or energy channel, which starting around the navel area ; the origin of energy source that create our whole human existence and experiences, since we were an embryo in the mother womb. 

| Four elements and bodily system |

Earth
Muscles, tissue, ligament, tendon, joint, scar tissues, bone, fat, organs, skin, nails, hairs, teeth, colon, intestine which is the root cause of 20 ailments


Water
Vascular, lymphatic, hormones, urine & excretory system, pus, fat, sweats and tears which is the cause of 12 ailments.


Air | The Ether
Bodily cavities, respiratory system, circulatory and nervous system which is the root cause of 6 ailments.


Fire
Metabolism, digestion, immune system, body temperature which is the root cause of 4 ailments.

 

EMy practice aims to nurture your flesh, reducing metabolic waste, improving your range of motions, for your pain relief and good nights sleep.​

It is a preventive approach and also a recovering procedure after major operations, for better mobility and blood circulation.


A practice which involves some good pain and discomfort you might need to take. As I need to go over your pain threshold or comfort zone a little. To kick-off self-healing process, to eliminate exceed lactate from lactic acidosis and hypoxia along the Sen lines or energy path to balance biochemical in the cell.

If I see that you can not take my strong hands or not in the situation to apply deep pressure concerning to your age and medical conditions. I might switch to a relaxation massage for your safety. When I touch your body and hearing your story. I will know what best for your situations and I will tailor the techniques upon that.

After the session done, give your body a few nights sleep, letting growth hormone do their job during the dark night before booking next appointment.

 

​I will not pursue you to book next appointment or selling you a course of 5-10 treatments, even though I know your body might need more works.

 

I will let you feel your internal healing for few days after each treatment. If you want to return then come here to book appointment whenever you can as you please.

Each body response differently depend on internal bio-chemical, what you consume daily, your habits, routine, posture, lifestyle, work conditions, social circles and environment you surround yourself with.

I am not the one who could tell you what you should do or don't. We're all know what is good what is not, why we do what we do and what for. Right or wrong, good or bad to oneself we are all have that internal compass. Especially at this internet and AI era, we can self-educate and read at our finger tips if we are not too lazy.

 

That being said, I will let you feel your internal being and the self-healing happening inside of you for few days after the visit. Because you're the one who feel all your feelings, not me. And I think I should respect your feelings and a freedom to make the decision whether to come back or let go. The power is in your hands, not mine to claim ownership.

I will let you decide whether you want to continue or stop. It's your call on how, where and with who you want to exchange your time, energy and resources to get nurture and sympathize. It's not my place to judge nor convince.


There are also values, morals and awareness I bring to my table as a healer. That If you trade with me long enough you will know what gave me strength to keep going, why I become who I am today.

The minimum time frame I offer is 30 minutes session, for people who want a treatment on localized area for specific ailment such as office syndrome, migraine, stiff neck and shoulders, biceps-triceps, tennis elbow, upper back, lower back, gluteus, sciatica, dead butt, IBS, femoral and groin pain, hamstring, quadriceps, calf, Achilles and foot pain which involve the origins and insertions of several muscles, left or right, or both sides of the body I need to address.

If you just want to relax, sleep and snore as some day you might need healing for physical pain and tightness while another day you might just need to relax and distress from toxic circumstances and unhealthy surroundings you're dealing with. I can ease your stress, anxiety and depression within 45 minutes session as well. You do not need to spend for a whole hour to activate receptors to release feel good/happy hormones which are oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and endorphin.​

If you had enough with chronic pains, tightness, limited range of motion and ongoing sleepless nights due to past accidents and unconscious habits. I suggest to get treatment twice within a week if you want to get rid of that sleepless nights faster. But of course, that is not necessary if you do not want to spend for your own good rest and healthier circumstances and your livelihood.

To maintain balance bio-chemical and good mobility. I suggest to get a massage once every few months at the very least. 


If you have chronic pain caused by accident for many years and have tried many approaches but nothing seems to work that you want to try alternative approach, looking for the fifth, sixth, or tenth opinion. Your issues might require more than few visits.

Just as a doctor prescribes medication to be taken regularly. Consistent effort and adjustments are necessary for lasting results.


Though my approach can ease your pains, enhance circulations and immunity in your system, while triggering the receptors to produce more oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and endorphin or feel good hormones.

I cannot guarantee long-term results without the change of your behaviors, bad postures, habits, lifestyle, intense physical activity, active physical training and excercise, work conditions and unhealthy surroundings.


I can only try to nurture your tissues, fibers, chronic wounds, stiffness, stress, fatigue, tensions build up and biochemical imbalance in the cells --- from your past actions and unawareness --- not the future ones.

Wishing you to have a better sleep without pain and good mobility. So you can take care of your dependent(s) and loved one(s), so that you can enjoy your lifespan with them.

So please do not expect me to massage you once, then expecting that the history will not repeat itself ​if you still function with the same past events, habits, work conditions, intense exercise, negative thought patterns, and stress which caused cortisol build up in your system that could lead to a serious illness over times.​

If you book for issues related to pain, soreness, tightness, stiffness and mobility. Please understand that I may need to explain certain aspects of a treatment, including the techniques use, the muscles involved, so you understand why I do what I do and what benefits your body will get from my practices, or simply answer the questions you would like to know that I can answer or share infomations under my knowledge as a massage therapist, not a doctor.

Healing is a very personal journey. Each body reacts differently upon individual's lifestyle, experiences, knowledge, know-how, knowingly and unknowingly, aware and unaware of their surroundings, intuitively and not so.

Just like the food we eat. Some people prefer sweet taste while others like salty taste, sour, a little bitter or a mix of everything.

Like any aspect in life they said.


​" There is no one size fits all "

" ​​A friend to all is a friend to none "

I can only do something, not everything for everyone and anyone. I can only share what I know and have to offer. But I can not own your belongings nor take ownership over your pains, liking, unliking and everything in between.

It took over a decade of focus practices and non-stop learning, investments, determination, hardships, long term plan, pains and bruises in every corners and angles behind the screens and social media outlet to get myself where I stand now.

I do believe my honest intentions, work ethic, and perseverance speak for themselves at this point. That I believe I deserve more than what I ask for. Dignity over quantity. If you know what I mean.​


Hopefully my long years of service and skills could make you feel better and hopeful for your future endeavour.​

I first started learning Thai massage, the healing art in September 2013 at a reputable and recognized massage school in Gatineau from Alexandre Rouhani, D.O. Then got licensed by Réseau des massothérapeutes professionnels du Québec (RMPQ) with a good standing in Fall 2014.

Then I flew my two little boys with me to visit their Thai roots in Bangkok, Thailand during school's summer break in 2014. As I wanted to learn Thai massage from the origin, to understand the core principle and dig deeper with this over 2,500 years of healing art in my own mother tongue; Thai language. So I can ingrained the know-how with modern health science and anatomy-physiology knowledge I studied upon Canadian standards. 

It's been a toughest and intense 6 weeks of training in my life. 5-6 hours of travelling back and forth everyday to the school at Wat Po. Wake up at 4:30, left home at 5:30 get home around 19:00, dinner with the kids at 20:00, sleep around 24:00.

 

I am very lucky to have good team players --- my two boys. I'm very thankful that they understand and accept that there are no time to have fun with mum during this intense 7 weeks trip in Thailand. Knowing, mum need to do this that their sacrifice, patient and maturity would have a big impact and contribution to our future endeavors in Canada. Knowing, nothing last forever even cold November rain. And this too shall pass.

 

Six weeks of focus, determination and discipline. No weekend, no break, no fun to be had and enjoy the trip with the kids, to make sure I make the most out of my time in Thailand, learning what I needed to learn. So I can bring the know-how to Canada and practice for good.

 

I am very blessed and grateful for all the supports from my Thai families, siblings, cousins, people in my closed circle who support me and my kids during this 6 weeks intense training.

 

I felt very lucky and fortunate to have few good people and friends who offered help and opportunities,  willing to be there with me at my rock bottom. Without their compassion and kindness then, me and my kids won't stand tall through the test of time today in Canada. So I am forever thankful for their unconditional gestures.


At Wat Po --- a world well-known and reputable traditional Thai massage and Ayuravate school in Bangkok which recognized and accredited by educational authority in Thailand. I started the training again from general level --- Thai stretching massage. Then advanced Thai medical massage which focus on pressure points along 10 main energy paths or Sen lines for each specific ailment. Then oil massage and aromatherapy.

In Summer 2017, I flew to Phang Nga, Thailand to learn Thai warrior massage from a very skillful master --- Jack Shaman --- when I bring my boys to visit my Thai parents and the families. Then I learned cupping therapy, cellulite massage, pure gold leaf facial massage, abdominal massage, Pha khao Ma massage,  Tok sen massage and nuad karsai (for reproductive issues both male and female figures).
 

In Spring 2024, I took pregnancy massage class at Académie de massage et d'orthothérapie.
 

In Spring 2025, I took Nuad Sen or Nuad boran---online class with skillful Thai therapist from Korat, Thailand. To refresh the knowledge and Thai massage know-how, wanting to learn more from others skillful individuals.

 

In 2026, I plan to take lymphatic drainage class or something else similar if there is any opening in the area.

​After mid Jan 2026, my eldest son will start practicing Thai massage under my supervision during his undertaking professional massage course at a recognized schoolfollowing RMPQ regulations, before getting official licensed by RMPQ. *** Therefore, client cannot claim insurance benefits under his training session *** But you will get a similar approach under my supervision at a very affordable rate. The set fee is to cover business related expenses and my supervision fee.


In 2028, my youngest son will follow our foot steps as a team member.

I, as a parent, can not control anybody to do anything. Rather to be there when they needed someone to lean on during difficult time, especially during global dramas, its economy crisis and AI Era which have a big impact on entry level job market and younger generations.

I, as a Thai-Canadian mother, can only wish the kids will carry on this Thai heritage; the over 2,500 years old healing art, in their muscle memory. So they can heal each others, their family, social circles, and passerby when needed healing where there is nobody nor tool around.

 

To serve humanity and the society they live in and came from with humility, gratitude, honesty, loyalty and pride with great honor and respect for their roots and ancestors. And I hope they ingrained this virtues in their conscious and keep practicing in their day to day living.

Hopefully, the kids will get to know who they are at their core along their journey; knowing why they do what they do, for who, and what for.

 

Knowing, they can make a big impact on others' life with this smallest gestures they know how.

 

Knowing, Love is not what they say. Love is what they do.

 

And hopefully, they get to the point to realize they are here on earth to practice self-love, knowing as within so without. Knowing, energy can never disappear only transform and that's the reason why they are here on this planet---to transform their energy and past life regression. To cleanse, purify and transcend their energy to the higher realms. To not cling to 3D reality rather to let go. To not take anything personal and let Universal Laws take its cause and effect. To do no harm but take no shit with them to the next return. Knowing dead is a new beginning, not the end. When one door closed the other door will open, always.
