Where are sessions and trainings held?

Sessions and trainings are currently offered in Brooklyn, NY and select retreat locations.

Specific location details are shared upon booking or registration.

What should I wear to a session?

For Somathai™ sessions, please wear comfortable clothing you can move in (similar to yoga clothes). Sessions are floor-based and fully clothed. Avoid heavy fabrics, restrictive waistbands, or clothing with large buttons or zippers.

Come as you are for Somatic Therapy, however please note that part of the work may involve movement on a table. Pants may be preferable to skirts or dresses, and clothing that allows your body to move freely without restriction is recommended.

Do you offer gift certificates or packages?

Gift certificates and session packages are not offered.

Each session is scheduled intentionally and individually.

What is the difference between Somathai™ and Somatic Therapy?

Somathai™ Sessions are hands-on bodywork performed on a mat on the floor, integrating Thai bodywork techniques with nervous system awareness.

Somatic Therapy sessions focus more directly on body-centered inquiry, regulation, relational patterns, and dialogue, with touch incorporated when appropriate.

Both formats are collaborative and responsive.

Is this like a traditional massage?

Somathai™ is not an oil-based table massage. It is rhythmic, clothed, floor-based bodywork that includes compression, assisted movement, and regulated pacing.

It is participatory rather than passive.

Is this work trauma therapy?

This work is trauma-informed and centered around nervous system awareness, but it is not crisis intervention or acute trauma therapy.

Clients are expected to have some capacity for self-regulation and relational participation.

If you are unsure whether this work is appropriate for you, you are welcome to inquire before completing the intake questionnaire.

Do I need prior experience to enroll in Module 1?

Module 1 is open to dedicated beginners as well as experienced practitioners.

A background in movement, bodywork, yoga, or therapeutic work is helpful but not required.

Students should be prepared for physical participation and personal reflection.

Will I receive certification?

Certification is granted upon completion of the required in-person training hours and participation expectations for each module.

Are scholarships available?

A limited number of partial scholarships are available for practitioners experiencing financial constraint due to systemic barriers or significant life circumstance.

If this feels relevant to you, please inquire directly when applying.

Payment plans are available for all students.

How physically demanding are the trainings?

Thai bodywork is active and floor-based.

Students will both give and receive work each day.

Pacing is mindful, and modifications are encouraged. Self-care and sustainability are emphasized throughout.

Do you teach traditional Thai medical theory?

Somathai™ is a refinement within Thai lineage focused on applied practice and relational skill.

Formal Thai medical theory and in-depth Sen line study are distinct fields of study. While elements are incorporated, they are not the primary focus of these modules.
