My name is Penny

A founder of Thai Origin Massage

I was born from a Thai mother and Chinese father who immigrated to Thailand when he was around five years old with his Chinese parents right after World War II (1946).

My hard-working father was the eldest son in his family. He was a fisherman who run his own fishery business, taking care 40-50 employees, their families and his own.
​
My dedicated mother was a fishmonger, helping my father run the business on shore while raising 9 children of her own plus many in-laws.

I hails from Samutprakarn, Thailand, a short 30 minute drive from the Sukhumvit area; the heart of Bangkok. I spent most of my life studied and worked in Bangkok and Samutprakarn before I relocated to Amata Nakorn, Chonburi when I married with French-Canadian ex-husband who I met in 2000 then he relocated to Thailand in 2003 and we move back to Gatineau, Canada in fall 2008 after our first baby born.

My most recent corporate role in Thailand was assistant marketing manager at Jotun, a Norwegian firm; found in 1926. Jotun has been operating in 100 countries around the globe. Was established in Thailand since 1968 as a far east gateway. I served at Jotun from mid 1996 - mid 2008

Prior to my current endeavors, my last source of income came from operating my own small garment factory between 2006 - 2008 before I move to Canada, which included 18 industrial machines and employed 12 staff members, on top of working at Jotun -- the Norwegian global firm.

After I gave birth to my first Thai-Canadian son in 2008. We decided to settle in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, to provide my newborn a bilingual environment (English and French) when he was just seven months old. I has been living in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, ever since. Now as a Canadian-Thai citizen.

People said I am a goal-oriented, dedicated, kind, compassionate, straight forwarded, hard working, all in or all out, grow up or go home type of a person; who dislike wasting her time with drama and nonsense. A sweetheart with strong characters on RBF ( resting bitch face).
​
Honestly, I do not perceive my characters base on someone's perceptions of me. I believe different up-bringing, climate they live in, educational background, one's social surroundings, belief system, life experiences, attitude and mind-set have strong impact on individual's perceptions and approach to life.

​

Whether people like or dislike me. It's somewhat a projection, reflecting each individual's expectations, belief system, wants, needs and lifestyle which got nothing to do with who I am.

No matter what said and done or belief to be true. I believe I can surely learn a few things from different walk of life. Aiming to do better, be better than I was yesterday.

But at this point in life, I am not the one who will shape my core values and characteristic upon someone's validation and acceptance of me. That I also know we; humans trend to judge the book by its covered, external appearances, physicality and ethnicity which got nothing to do with their spirits and souls. As they said; salt and sugar look a like, gold and glitter look similar from a distance. Grass seem greener on the other side of the fence.

I see myself as a dust, spinning in the middle of absolutely nowhere in multiverse; knowing when to surrender to the Unknown, when to stop, and when to let go to trade with peace and good fortune.
​
My responses and actions depend on the energy each individual represent themselves in front of me. I do not judge good or bad, right or wrong, upbeat or downfalls. I approach life with yin-yang philosophy or coin has two sides of the story.

As I have so many first hand experiences with Spirits; the Unseen, since my childhood years. I know for a fact that samsara is an energy transformation from one life to the next. So when I look at human beings, I look beyond the veil. Then let go, chill out for peace, and let karma serve its kindness and compassion.

As a licensed massage therapist who had bachelor in psychology with a little marketing backgrounds; practicing Thai massage in Canada while raising the children on her own in foreign country for nearly two decades. 
 
With 50+ life experiences, educational background, knowledge and know-how. I have gained valuable and vulnerable perspectives on love, life, and relationships that I hopes to bring awareness and understanding of human relationships and dynamics to those who cross my path.

Aiming to provide more than just a massage skills to heal physical pains to those in my care. Hoping to share differences perspectives and stories between the East and  the West. To inspire and uplift or perhaps intimidated others for a wake-up call. So we can learn from one another. To do better, be better, making the world a better place for the younger generations to come.
​
I believes that good relationships and trust start within oneself which influenced by family dynamics and five people we encounter the most; the smallest social group, yet most impactful environment that shapes individual's characters, personality, happiness, peace of mind, and future endeavours. 

I do believe relationships have tremendous influence on self-love, self-acceptance, self-esteem, acknowledgement and self-actualization. A ripple effects to workplace, community, and the global society at large.
​
On an individual level, human seek to recognize their potential and uniqueness, striving to understand their purpose in life, who they really are and why they are here on this planet for.
​
As social creatures, humans strive to create and learn new things, wanting to evolve and understand relationship dynamics for profound happiness, and to avoid mental fatigue, exhaustion and abusive environments so they can create more. Deep within, human yearn to be a creator; a god like in nature, not a follower.
​
Despite everything else, I believe all beings on Earth, including humans, need to feel loved and cared for. Humans needed to appreciate one's existence as the most beautiful thing that could happen to each and everyone of them. Thus we can not deny that birth and rebirth is a precious thing but living on the planet, being human is sufferings. That is why so many of us seeking Nirvana; to end all and be all.
​​
Birth provide endless miracles.
But dead is a new beginning, not the end.

The physical body has its limit, just like the mind, emotional, mental, psychological, and spiritual aspects. Long-term healing involves conscious decision-making and changes in behavior.

Please do not abuse yourself and expecting miracles from me in one or two sessions to fix your chronic ​pains and stiffness you accumulated over the years If you continue being in toxic relationships within and without, enjoying negative surrounding, not wanting to let go bad habits.

Just as a doctor prescribes medication to be taken regularly. Consistent effort and adjustments are necessary for lasting results.
 
Ultimately, the choice to improve your life circumstances lies within you. Not me to convince, control, take ownership, compare nor compete.

We are all have free will to choose and do whatever as we please. But there will be consequences on the choice we have made. Good or not so. It's the choice we made. Own it and take pride with all of them, your good, bad and ugly. Don't complain, blame, guilt trip or play a victim. After all, it's just a short journey being a human on earth.

I am sharing this out of love, aiming to help you understand human dynamics to improve your well-being on all levels; physical, mental, psychological, emotional, and spiritual.

​​​​​​That's all I have to say
