Elemental Thai Massage Training
Level 1-2 Certification
begins october 2026
Thai massage is an ancient healing therapy with a 2000 year lineage originating in Thailand in South East Asia. This healing modality focuses on techniques that enhance range of motion in the joint sand body as well as open and release facial tissue using passive or dynamic yoga style stretching and compression. This, coupled with mindful breathing, meditative rocking and acupressure encourages the body to open, relax and de-stress.
5 day elemental thai massage training
In this 5 day container we will learn and embody the sacred art of thai massage for a full body experience from head to toe. Each day focusing on a different element and body part by learning multiple techniques and different compressions for releasing the body, mind and soul. We will be learning a FULL BODY Massage and multiple ways of sequencing to tend to your clients needs through the embodiment of the elements.
If you have been curious to about learning a new powerful and ceremonial skill that you can take with you and incorporate into many other modalities like teaching yoga, somatic healing work, physiotherapy, chiropractic therapy or simply a stand alone new skill to other your clients and community, this training is for you.

Paulina is truly a conduit of the divine and I can’t recommend her enough. I felt a deep release in this experience that extended far beyond my physical body. I’ve had many massages before but nothing as euphorically healing as this! It felt like my body was unwinding, showing me a new way of being. She guided my body like a leaf down a gentle stream. Her mastery of Thai massage along with her sound medicine; the words of wisdom, channeled messages, songs, and vast array of instruments all made for one of the most magical experiences of my life. In fact, it makes me a little sad to say this but I don’t know that I’ve ever been touched or held with such reverence and unconditional love, a reflection that is incredibly eye-opening and empowering. Working with such a powerful healer is an experience I will treasure in my heart forever. I would come back to Costa Rica just to work with Paulina again.

I recently had the privilege of attending the Thai Massage Training with Paulina in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Paulina is an amazing true medicine woman having a deep understanding of Thai massage and holistic healing. Combined with her passion for teaching, she created an environment where learning felt easy and incredibly enjoyable. Each technique was taught with precision and patience, ensuring that every student fully grasped the art of Thai massage. What truly sets this training apart is its emphasis on presence, connection and art of healing. Furthermore, I was surrounded by loving like-minded individuals who shared the passion for holistic healing. I wholeheartedly recommend the Thai Massage Training with Paulina to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of bodywork and holistic healing. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a complete novice, this training will leave you with a profound sense of gratitude and inspiration.

Taking the Thai massage training with Paulina was such a loving and transformative experience. Having received massages from her for a while, it was an incredible gift and honor to learn from her firsthand. Her intuitive understanding of the body and her compassionate approach was something I was excited to learn and embody for myself. Paulina’s presence and care cultivated a warm and nurturing environment for all of us students to learn, not only Thai massage level 1 & 2 techniques but also the art of creating sacred spaces & self - care routines. I can’t recommend Paulina enough to anyone who is looking to learn the art & gift of Thai massage
