This style of Acupressure is based on Chinese Meridian Theory and 5 Element Theory. Acupressure was traditionally a folk healing practice in Asia, it is the finger pressure techniques by which acupuncture evolved. In Chinese Medicine it is believed the individual can restore their own health with help from the universal qi, this encourages personal awareness and introspection to help the body to heal. Acupressure helps us uncover and understand the underlying patterns that are causing illness, so it promotes long lasting change. This style of acupressure has a focus on the "strange flows" or the Eight Extraordinary Vessels of Chinese Meridian Theory. The Chinese believe that these channels are reservoirs for the body and its meridians, balancing energy through each system.

Thai massage is a branch of traditional Thai medicine, treating individuals by addressing the physical and energetic body. It has resemblances to deep tissue massage and assisted yoga stretching. The massage has a full body sequence of slow, rhythmic compressions, therapeutic pressure points and gentle stretches. The intent of the massage is to free blockages and stagnation in the energy lines (Sen Sib) affecting the underlying life force (Prana) in the body. The receiver will be lying fully clothed on a futon mat on the floor and the giver will apply controlled pressure compressions in a rhythmic manner. Traditional Thai Massage is provided by a Registered Massage Therapist, who is a health care professional.
