I grew up in Sisakat, Thailand, and came to Switzerland at the age of 15. After a career change, I completed my training in Thai massage at the renowned Thai Traditional Medicine Association (near Bangkok) in 2013. I then gained several years of professional experience in Thailand and Switzerland.

My great passion and joy in helping people and contributing to their health with massages and advice motivated me to establish the Thai Massage Temple in St. Gallen.

Traditional Thai massage

Traditional Thai massage, known as TTM "Nua," has deep roots in the history of healing. The origins of traditional Thai massage lie in India and can be traced back approximately 2,500 years. The northern Indian physician Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha is considered the founder of Thai massage practices. He was the personal physician of the Magadha king Bimbisara and a contemporary of Buddha.

 

Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha is still revered in Thailand today as the father of medicine. More than 500 years ago, Indian massage practices arrived in Thailand and were further developed here by healing monks at the royal court. In 1832, King Rama III had centuries-old medical texts carved into stone at the Wat Po monastery in Bangkok. These ancient texts were highly valued and revered in a similar way to Buddhist scriptures. The Wat Po monastery is still home to the most renowned school for traditional Thai massage.
