Learn Traditional Thai Massage in Thailand
Learn Traditional Thai Massage in the Place It Was Meant to Be Learned...
Most Thai massage training takes place inside a classroom.
This experience was designed differently.
Our Traditional Thai Massage Study & Adventure Retreat combines hands-on instruction in Nuad Boran with seven days of immersive travel through Northern Thailand, allowing you to experience the culture, philosophy, and traditions that gave birth to this ancient healing art.
It's a living tradition rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and presence.
Throughout five days of study, you'll learn the foundations of Traditional Thai Massage through guided, hands-on practice in a supportive learning environment.
We'll visit ancient temples, hike to waterfalls, spend time at an ethical elephant sanctuary. A chance to experience authentic Thai culture, and practice daily yoga and meditation. Leaving space to integrate what you're learning both on and off the mat.
You'll leave with new skills, greater confidence, unforgettable memories, and a deeper appreciation for one of Thailand's most treasured healing traditions.
More than a training. More than an adventure.
It's an opportunity to study one of the world's oldest healing arts in the country where it is still practiced every day.

Meet Your Retreat Host: Kerry Tice
I never saw myself as particularly spiritual until my travels, teachers, and inner warrior journey ignited a flame that now burns brightly within me. Through this journey, I found a love for simply being with myself and truly getting to know Myself. I wish to share the acceptance, connection, and love I've discovered with you and teach you how to connect to your Inner Warrior.
Yoga played a crucial role in healing my body, mind, and soul after a severe back injury. Through teaching, I've helped hundreds of students learn to embrace this practice and connect within. I've learned to lean into the stillness and connect to Nature. To remember the feeling of being whole, connected, and present.
My travels, especially to Thailand and Mexico, have profoundly impacted me. Each trip has opened my heart and activated a powerful strength allowing me to become more and more myself. I finally found what I had been searching for my entire life— I discovered that what I sought outwardly was already inside me.
I'd love to share the skills, experiences, and teachings that helped me find my way home. I invite you to join me on our 8-day retreat in Thailand to ignite your fire and discover the Inner Warrior within.
