From the reviews
My experience of massage with Thais has been a well balanced blend of deeply relaxing/meditative as well as precisely pinpointed and direct. Though I love all forms of relaxing bodywork, I NEED certain things to be worked with in a therapeutic way that truly heals repetitive stress and addresses some old injuries when…
The best place to get a massage in the Bay Area! Chaya finds all the spots that need to be worked out and does an amazing job! I have been getting massages from her for years. She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed.
Thais is truly magical in what she does! Her skills are not only rooted in deep understanding but intuition of the body. She holds a safe container where I can allow my body to relax, feel and release in ways I am unable to do on my own. Her myofascial work is also outstanding.
I'm delighted to have experienced bodywork with Thais, especially during a stressful time. Her grounded, calm presence and careful attention to her work allowed me to completely relax and let go. I'm a seasoned receiver of bodywork and have a few complexities in my body that many therapists don't know how to work with.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
