Testimonials
I just wanted to tell you that the intensive week
of Thai massage was a real turning point for me with the problems
I have been having with my thyroid. I felt really bad about Wednesday
of that week, but by Friday I was feeling better than I have in
10 months. I worked in my garden a lot over the weekend with energy
and enthusiasm and that has continued through this week so far.

My first exposure to traditional Thai massage was
through Winnie. It was incredible to feel the benefits so quickly
afterward.
My company dancers felt immediate relief from overuse
injuries and other aches and pains through the massage techniques.
Winnie relates to the dancers’ particular problem areas and
helps them become more tuned in to injury prevention and the proper
ways to work their bodies.

Alaska Dance Theatre
In the 20 years I have been
involved with the holistic movement, I have never heard, seen nor
felt any form of body therapy as powerful and complete as Thai Medical
Massage.
– Yosel Wastrack-Tarofsky, Massage Therapist
I find Thai Massage to be
an excellent way to reduce recovery time from a hard workout.
– Troy Dalby, Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist
I love the workbook! It is better than I expected. It
is faithful to the
video and I really am able to learn the sequence so much easier
with both.

I recieved your Thai Massage video two days ago and I love it. It
is
a great add-on to the classes I have taken on Thai massage in L.A.
Thanks

I injured myself while training for a marathon,
the damage caused by
piriformis and IT band issues. Even after 8 weeks of physical therapy
and
strengthening, I developed bursitis in my hip. I travel frequently
for work and was to the point of not being able to sit comfortably
when I met Winnie.
She kindly offered to assist me through Thai massage. She is extremely
talented. Through years of experience and careful attention she
was able to
identify the source of my hip pain. After working with Winnie that
first
time, I didn't experience pain at all for almost two weeks!
My doctor strongly encouraged me to continue working with Winnie
to combine treatments, as he saw considerable difference after the
Thai massage.
Thank you Winnie - I'm finally on the road to recovery!

"After two knee surgeries, torn shoulder and
hip, I practice yoga, judo,
and bike...without Winnie's Thai Massage I would be unable to enjoy
these
sports and stay active...she is indispensable for any athlete"

"I would like to say that my time in Thailand was an exceptional experience. I learned so much more than Thai massage. It was inspiring to see how much you care for the Akha people. You not only patiently taught some of the women Thai massage, but you also distributed blankets and bibs (that were either donated or made by you) to them for their children. The Akha women are wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed the immersion experience of living in their village and learning alongside them. At times the language barrier seemed nonexistent . . . smiles and caring are the same in all languages. I still remember how emotional everyone was when it was time to leave, with tears flowing on both sides as the ladies presented each of us with a necklace and wristband. Apparently this is an Akha tradition that symbolizes friendship, good luck, and a wish that we return. This gesture was extremely touching. We all hugged one another and I truly care for each of these special ladies. They are amazing! They are also determined and proud of their accomplishment. This was obvious when they received their certificates. With your assistance, t he Akha Spa will be a success I also enjoyed the opportunity we had to see some of the sights in Chang Rai, Chang Mai and the Golden Triangle, including the magnificent temples, the night markets and the wonderful scenery. The spicy Thai food was also a special treat. Since my return, I'm a frequent diner at my local Thai Restaurant.
Thanks Winnie, for everything. I'll talk to you soon." -Phyllis

"I
have just returned from Winnie Cain's Level 1 Thai Massage Workshop.
I have studied with many other Thai massage practioners. Winnie's
knowledge is the most extensive as she has made 14 annual visits to
Thailand. I think the Thai people have taken Winnie as one of their
own. Most people spend a week showing you their routine which is nice
but Winnie can tell you why and what the senior teachers in Thailand
are trying to accomplish with their techniques. No one in the United
States does that. The Thai teachers need a "Medicine Keeper"
to come to the United States and spread the word about Thai Massage.
Winnie has done that. Winnie has designed her studio specifically
for Thai Massage. It is beautiful --there is a pool with a diving
board 8 feet from the studio! Winnie's background in Yoga, Diet, &
Nutrition is very evident as she can do any and all of the Thai techniques
with ease. My class of five had to really work as we found some of
the techniques very different from anything we had ever seen! She
was flawless in her approach. Winnie's trained eye was there to guide
all of us. She very easy to ask questions to and gave very good answers.
I would recommend her class to anyone that was interested in Thai
Massage.
