Thai Massage Sessions
Thai Massage Sacred Bodywork sessions with Ananda are profound experiences of well being. Each massage is tailored to your needs. As Ananda works on you, she draws on her extensive background which includes Thai massage, shiatsu, tuina, anma, Swedish massage, reflexology, dance, yoga, intuition, and meditation. The massages are given on a comfortable mat on the floor. No oils are used during the session. All work is done fully clothed. Your Thai Massage session will both relax and energize you leaving you feeling renewed in body, mind and spirit. Thai Massage rates: $100 --- 1 hour Herbal Hot Compress work is available as part of your Thai massage session. In Thailand hot herbal compress balls have been in use as an adjunct to Thai massage for centuries. The heat of the compresses helps to open the pores which allows for better absorption of the herbs. In addition, they nourish the skin. The herbs also help enhance energy flow throughout the body and relax the muscles so that muscle aches, pains and cramps are diminished. Joint range of motion is increased, as is blood circulation. The following herbs are steamed together in the herbal compress ball and then applied to the body: cassumunar, curcuma, lemongrass, tamarind leaf, acacia, camphor and other herbs. The compresses are put directly on the bare skin so you will need to wear underwear or shorts for the herbal compress work. (For the massage part of your treatment, you will still be fully clothed.) Gift certificates are available. Please email me your name, the name of the person receiving the gift and the length of the session you are purchasing. Payments can be made by check, cash or paypal.

for the best urban sanctuaries. Simply put, no one offers better Thai massage
in New York than Ananda. Her sessions are transformational." "Ananda combines
the skills of a magician and a healer; come with aches and tension...leave feeling
like you can tackle the world. Ananda transforms not only through her hands, but
through her luminous spirit." "Ananda
brings a rare combination of responsiveness, technique, strength, sensitivity,
passion, and compassion to her approach to bodywork. She tunes in instantly to
our stuck places, and then gently "stretches" us to let go. Her creative
responsiveness to each person resonates like a musical composition designed to
heal within. Her deep song of touch moves the energy to create space in which
one can become new again." "I have had many massages, but Ananda's Thai massages
are in many amazing ways different and memorable. They
are in the true sense, integrated mind and body work with
a touch of spirituality".
" Ananda's healing touch immediately eased my chronic
back pain that other therapists including chiropractors,
cranial sacral therapists, and osteopathic physicians
had not been able to heal. Since that one session with
Ananda my back pain has not returned at all. She is a
miracle worker!; "My body is laughing
with awakening! I could feel the mindful intention of her touch.” “Ananda has added
a sense of soulfulness to the physical encounter.” “Ananda
truly has healing hands which is such a precious gift. I feel very lucky that
I was able to have this experience. I can not thank her enough.” “Beautiful massage and technically masterful.” “Ananda was an absolute
blessing to me.” “I
thank Ananda for her compassion, her touch, her smile." “Everyone was right! Ananda is awesome.” “Like meeting an angel.” "This being my first Thai yoga massage I have to say I was very happy
with my session with Ananda. I really enjoyed how thorough and attentive
Ananda was with me. I was amazed how she shifted from gentle in one
area to strong in the areas that needed a little extra work. The session
left me feeling wonderful and I was riding the train home afterward
feeling like everything was just "working" better. I slept great that
night and 3 days later, I'm still feeling good. Ananda is really super
nice and very calming which just added to the great experience. I fully
recommend a Thai Yoga massage to anyone who just needs a good stretch
or someone like myself who works all day on a computer. I think a session
with Ananda is a wonderful introduction to Thai Yoga Massage." "Healing Hands, that's how I describe Ananda's amazing gift to
heal the mind, body, and soul. Using integrative healing therapy approaches
Ananda awakens the body-Spirit connection of her clients to facilitate
their own natural healing process. My chronic muscular-skeletal condition
improved as a result of working with Ananda. I strongly recommend her
as a Thai Yoga Massage therapist"! "My body was so grateful that the injuries were receiving healing
attention. The massage felt incredible. Ananda really has such a gift
- and the blanket, heating pad, mbira music, scents added so much as
well."
