THAI ORIGIN MASSAGE
BACKSTORY
If you would like to know more about Penny's background kindly read "about me" page.
But in short, before I became a licensed massage therapist in Canada. I have held B.Sc. in Psychology from Kasetsart University in Bangkok; which been evaluated and accredited by Ministère de l'Immigration, des Communautés culturelles et de l'Immigration (MICC).
After done high school, I passed the entrance exam and got accepted in full-time 4 years nursing program at Kuakarun Faculty of Nursing, Navamindradhiraj University (คณะพยาบาลศาสตร์เกื้อการุณ)
But I refused to join and turn my parents down as I do not want to work in a hospital environment.
WHY? Because I was someone who grew up in the families of neuro surgeon, pediatrician, med doctor, dentist, oncologist, and veterinarian. I watched and witnessed my cousins studying in med schools, working in hospitals, busy spending their times, energy and freedom under those titles going through theirs growing up. I watched my sister working in hospitals. That's why I didn't want to walk the same path.
Which is why I got myself into the psychological side of human instead. I am interested in human psyche. I wanted to understand why humans do what they do, their up-bringing, their environments, the climate, the norms, the social standards, behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, needs, motives, social circles, thyself, spirits and every things beyond the shallow talks.
But life have pushed me back to the healer journey where I meant to be after I moved to Canada, I guess.
I have learned and been trained Thai massage in Canada and then Thailand after I got official licensed to practice in Quebec.
Of course I know the different; the perspectives and perception between the East and the West, the pros and cons of both social norms and standards, their life approach, mindset, believe systems. And of course the principle and basic needs of humans. Why they do what they have to do when they live under different climate and weather. Which is very understandable when it come down to survival.
Or I might say perhaps my practices aim to go beyond the mundane narrative and physicality.
After 13 years of services. My practice becomes multidisciplinary and tailored my practices to each individual needs at the very moment I meet them; from relaxation massage, pregnancy massage, foot massage, belly massage, head neck shoulder massage, lymphatic drainage massage, and passive stretching.
But most people come to me for chronic issues which I ended up treating them with advanced Thai medical massage that I got trained in Thailand.
I am licensed under RMPQ. My receipt is accepted under insurance plan with Sun Life | Canada Life | Manulife | Industrial Alliance | Desjardin | Blue Cross | RCMP and many others but not CAF as far as I'm concerned. I don't do deposits.

My practices is a strong approach that I tailored many techniques I have learned. I encompass five elements; earth, water, air, fire, and space in my practice upon ten main energy pathways in Thai massage principle, to anatomize which elements or bodily system might caused the issue when a client have questions that might need alternative opinion where they seem could not get explanation of the why and how. I can share some information, knowledge and know-how I get to learn with you. On top of energy channeling, clairsentient and claircognizant I have had.
| Five elements and bodily system |
Earth
Muscles, tissue, ligament, tendon, joint, scar tissues, bone, fat, organs, skin, nails, hairs, teeth, colon, intestine which is the root cause of 20 ailments
Water
Vascular, lymphatic, hormones, urine & excretory system, pus, fat, sweats and tears which is the cause of 12 ailments.
Air | The Ether
Bodily cavities, respiratory system, circulatory and nervous system which is the root cause of 6 ailments.
Fire
Metabolism, digestion, immune system, body temperature which is the root cause of 4 ailments.
Space
Space is where everything is happening. Without space, there will be no creation.
EMy practice aims to nurture your flesh, reducing metabolic waste, improving your range of motions, for your pain relief and good nights sleep. A preventive approach and also a recovering procedure after major operations, for better mobility and blood flow.
A practice which involves some good pain and discomfort you might need to take. As I need to go over your pain threshold or comfort zone a little. To kick-off self-healing process. To eliminate exceed lactate from lactic acidosis and hypoxia along the Sen lines or energy paths to balance biochemical in your cell.
After the session done, give your body a few days to finish self-healing process, letting growth hormone do their job during your dark night sleep before booking your next appointment.
You're the one who feel all your feeling happening inside of you, not me. And I think I should respect your feelings and free will, to make the decision whether to come back for more treatments or let go and let god. The judgement is in your hands. Not mine.
It's your call on how, where and with who you want to exchange your time, energy and resources to get nurture and sympathize. It's not my place to convince.

I first started learning Thai massage, the healing art in September 2013 at a reputable and recognized massage school by RMPQ in Gatineau from Alexandre Rouhani, D.O. Then got licensed by Réseau des massothérapeutes professionnels du Québec (RMPQ) with a good standing in Fall 2014.
Then I flew my two little boys with me to visit their Thai roots in Bangkok, Thailand during school's summer break in 2014. As I wanted to learn Thai massage from the original, to understand the core principle and dig deeper with this over 2,500 years of healing art in my own mother tongue; Thai language. So I can ingrained this ancient practices and know-how with western health science upon anatomy-physiology knowledge.
At Wat Po Thai traditional medicine and massage school; which recognized and accredited by educational authority in Thailand. I started the training again from general level --- Thai stretching massage. Then advanced Thai medical massage which more focus on 10 main energy pathways or Sen lines for each specific ailment. Then relaxation oil massage and aromatherapy.
In Summer 2017, I flew to Phang Nga, Thailand to learn Thai warrior massage from a very skillful master who taught many World Champions in Massage--- Jack Shaman--- when I took my boys to visit my Thai parents and the families.
Then I learned cupping therapy, cellulite massage, pure gold leaf facial massage, abdominal massage, Pha Khao Ma massage, Tok sen massage and Nuad Karsai (for reproductive issues both male and female figures).
In Spring 2024, I took pregnancy massage class at Académie de massage et d'orthothérapie.
Any way, my skill sets and expertise are not coming from an easy come, easy go, no serious investment places. Rather from a willpower over decade of hard work, focus, long term goals, visions and lessons learned. Hoping I will do better, be better than I was yesterday.
Like Bruce Lee once stated;
I fear not a man who practice 10,000 kicks once. I fear a man who practices one kick 10,000 times.
IF YOU CAN NOT FIND ANYONE TO WALK WITH YOU
BE LIKE AN ELEPHANT WHO ROAM THE JUNGLE ALONE
Advanced Thai medical massage is focus on Water, Air and Fire element; bio-chemical imbalance and immune response in the areas, to nurture Earth element or your flesh and its physical structure. Wile the stretching techniques is focus on space in the body.
The practice is emphasis on chronic pains such as office syndrome, stiff neck and shoulders, migraine, lower back pain, dead butt syndrome, sciatica pain, piriformis syndrome, IBS, femoral and groin pain, hamstring, quadriceps, calf, Achilles pain and plantar fasciitis (foot pain), biceps tendonitis, triceps tendonitis, tennis elbow, trapezius myalgia (upper back pain).
Though my approach can ease your pains, enhance circulations and immune response in your system, while triggering the receptors to release feel good hormones.
I cannot guarantee long-term results without the change of your behaviors, bad postures, habits, lifestyle, intense physical activity, active physical training and exercise, work conditions and unhealthy circumstances. I can only try to nurture your fleshes from your past actions, wounds, habits, unaware lifestyles and behavior patterns---not the future ones.
LOVE IS NOT WHAT YOU SAY
LOVE IS WHAT YOU DO AND DON'T
Healing is a very personal journey. Each body reacts differently upon individual's lifestyle, food we consume, experiences, background, knowledge, know-how, knowingly and unknowingly, aware and unaware of our surroundings and habits.
Just like the food we eat. Some people prefer sweet taste while others like salty taste, sour, a little bitter or a mix of everything.
I am not a magician. I can only do something, not everything for everyone and anyone. I can only share what I have to offer. I can not own any one's feelings nor take ownership.
I can only witness my surrounding but I can not own nor control any one's life experiences, circumstances, perception, attitude, and how one feel, think, speak, or act.
All I can give is honesty and good wish that you are conscious enough to not hurt yourselves in any way, shape or form. Hoping that my long journey on this planet, and skills could make you feel a little better and hopeful for your endeavors.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this non-sense and considering my services. I truly appreciate your patient and understanding regarding the background challenges I have navigated and shared my side of the story being a wounded healer. I look forward to serve you at the best of my abilities.
