Medella Massage Description
Traditional Thai Massage is based on an energy line system within our bodies through which our life force flows. Blockages in our energy can lead to aches pains and disease on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Thai massage is used in Thailand as a form of body maintenance to alleviate and prevent pain.
During Thai massage the client remains fully clothed whilst lying on a large mat, rather like a futon mattress, on the floor. The massage therapist uses a wonderful combination of acupressure, massage and stretches using their hands, feet and elbows in a flowing series of moves.
Traditional Thai Massage works on all areas of the body and can enable greater flexibility in the joints, enhanced blood circulation, better alignment of the body and improved posture. Soothing to the nervous system, a deeper sense of relaxation and harmony will be achieved assisting in reducing stress levels.
About Shelley Goy:
Shelley first experienced Traditional Thai Massage firsthand during a particularly stressful period of work and family difficulties.
Having worked within the financial services industry for 20 years, Shelley fully understands how stressful work-demands and the fast pace of modern living can impact our wellbeing; creating a need for us to seek balance and harmony. After receiving this ancient healing art and experiencing its beneficial effects, Shelley was convinced that it should become part of her daily life and wished to share its practice.
In 2008, whilst travelling, Shelley had the opportunity to receive many Traditional Thai Massages from Thai practitioners across the north and south of Thailand. This then led onto training at ‘The Wat Po Traditional Medical School’ in Bangkok where the southern style of massage is taught. Having experienced southern & northern styles Shelley continued to study northern style here in the UK at the ‘Sussex Thai Massage School’.
Acquiring an understanding of both the southern and northern styles of Traditional Thai Massage, Shelley’s own practice relates to northern style. Northern style Thai massage lasts longer than the southern style and includes many yoga-based stretches and a thorough work on the energy lines of the legs.
Shelley engages a harmonious awareness for each client that ensures a meditative relaxed mood can be achieved by the receiver.
Shelley’s mantra is ‘Do more, need less, be blessed! ’.
