Hi, Thank again! It was a wonderful weekend course. I Love learning new things with a inspirational and passionate teacher like Andrea in a peaceful and respectful environment like the Shivago TmT Center. Lot of success for the future and See you soon for more 🫶🏼.
I had the pleasure of joining this Thai massage course, and it was truly an amazing experience. I felt incredibly comfortable throughout, thanks to Andrea’s calm presence and immense patience, which made it so much easier to dive into the world of Thai massage. Andrea has a beautiful touch and a deep, intuitive understanding of the human body — it became much clearer where and how to apply pressure effectively. Learning from someone so in tune with the body and so rooted in the practice was a real gift. Each session began with a short yoga sequence to prepare both body and mind, which I found really helpful for settling in. There was always a cozy break mid-session with delicious snacks and Thai tea, which added such a warm and nourishing touch to the whole experience. Andrea is not only a master of Thai massage but also a lovely and engaging person who brings genuine passion and deep respect for Thai culture into the space. I feel lucky to have learned from such a dedicated and generous teacher.
