Thai Yoga Massage 

Why You Need Massage:

In addition to being a wonderful way to therapeutically address headaches, neck aches, low back pain, sore muscles and strains; massage's greatest benefit is its holistic approach to stress relief.

Experts estimate that as much as ninety percent (yes,  90 %) of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be unrealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:

• Decreased anxiety
• Improved sleep quality
• Increased energy
• Greater concentration
• Enhanced circulation
• Reduced fatigue

Why You Need Thai Yoga Massage:

Thai Yoga Massage, as I practice it, combines the best aspects of traditional thai massage - stretching, assisted yoga postures and 2500 years of tradition - with the best of energy work - meditation, breathwork and focus plus the serenity of a traditional massage to produce an invigorating yet relaxing, healing yet soothing session customized for you each time you come in.

Why You Need Me:

Everything I practice with my clients and students, I've personally used to heal myself.  Eastern massage modalities and yoga are quite simply the only path I've found to freedom from chronic illness, stress and the myriad of issues arising from contemporary living.  Not only am I constantly updating my skills, researching new solutions to your questions and trying out new ideas to improve my work; but I am simply present.  Showing up to be with you fully while we work together, and always holding a clear vision of you as healthy, whole and complete.  And yes, I do get at least one massage or body work session every two weeks; plus I practice yoga every single day of my life.

About me:

Suzanne Andrew

Thai Yoga Massage Therapist, Reiki Master and LMT 

Like so many people, I found massage, yoga and reiki in response to a physical health crisis.  In 2000, I was diagnosed with a chronic disease found because my kidneys were on the verge of failing.  Every system in my body was in the process of shutting down, my muscles tightened up so much it took 6 months before I would walk with my feet flat on the ground.  I had to wear heels to walk because my calf muscles were so tight.

It didn’t take long to figure out that conventional doctors had the technology to save my life, but not the answers on how to live well.  My quest for health and wellness led me to reiki, yoga and massage within the first year of my journey; and I used all of them to help me personally regain my physical health.  Daily yoga asana practice, regular massage and learning reiki energy therapy are the reasons for my vibrant health and wellness today.

And so I practice what I know helped me.  When we work together, each session always begins with a ‘check-in’ or consultation time. Based on your needs and goals today, I’ll pull different tools from my toolbox.

It was from a place of profound gratitude for my rebirth as a healthy person that I decided to work with people at a deeper level by becoming a licensed massage therapist and Thai Yoga Massage Therapist.  It is my experience that yoga, energy work and massage offer hope for improved lives; they’ve completely changed mine.  It is an honor to work with everyone who is ready for some change or improvement in his/her life.

Namaste, Suzanne
