: GENERAL INTRODUCTION. A Thai Massage School & Herbal Health Centre. We are a Thai Ministry of Education school offering courses in the following (you can click on what interests you). Womblifting & Post-Partum Care; Traditional Herbal Compresses & Health Care. All our classes are taught by our director, Homprang Chaleekanha. They are in English, last from 10 to 25 days, and have a maximum of 12 students in a class. We are unique in that we are a Live-in School -- all our students live here with us. We also welcome guests and non-studying partners, and a few students even come with children. Everybody enjoys eating together around our big table, and of course sitting in a chair like this on the porch of one of our old wooden farmhouses. From time to time we host small Groups, Conference and Seminars for those who want to come here with their own teachers and special interests -- in addition to English we've had groups in French, Dutch, German, Thai, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese. And finally, this is the home of Homprang's family which includes her husband, the poet Christopher Woodman, who has been assisting her for over twenty-five years.

. (Click on the Photo to see other things she does!) Baan Hom Samunphrai is the home of Maw Samunphrai ("Herbal Medicine Doctor") Homprang Chaleekanha, 64, a specialist in Traditional Thai Massage (Nuad Boran) and Thai Yoga (Rasidaton) who also practices Thai Therapeutic Massage, Midwifery and Herbal Medicine. In the photo above she is making a compress with fresh herbs, one of the favourite activities of her students from all over the world. (If you click on the Photo you can see some of the other beautiful and mysterious things she does with her students.) 'Maw Hom' grew up in a small village on the Burmese border with no road or electricity, the only 'doctor' being her rice-farming grandmother who doubled as the local midwife and herbalist -- there's more about her grandmother here. Homprang is now not only licensed by the Thai Ministry of Public Health as a Traditional Doctor but as a Herbal Pharmacologist, a Traditional Midwife, and a Massage Teacher, and her school is approved by the Thai Ministry of Education. She has also travelled widely in Europe and North America, and is fluent in English as well as Thai, a very rare facility among genuine traditional healers. And finally, Homprang has for years been very active in the local Thai community, and has volunteered her time and expertise to Thai patients as well as to the growing number of Thai students who are rediscovering their roots.
Maw Hom comparing notes with a Canadian Botanist; enjoying her friends by the pool; working with two professional colleagues, one Thai, one English; leading the Rasidaton (Thai Yoga) at 7am.
Introducing her western students to Acharn Suwan, a Buddhist philosopher & herbalist, at his simple garden retreat in Chiang Dao; demonstrating 'Womb-lifting' at an International Health Exhibition; with her colleagues at The Association of Thai Traditional Healers -- as a group they are heavily involved with teaching young Thai students old medicine!
All the above roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit have medicinal value, and Maw Hom will show you them if not in her own herb garden then in her community or earth market. In the final photo, Maw Hom is showing Thai children from an International School how medicines were made when she was a child. The students all left with a little bottle of Tiger Balm made by themselves. This, she feels, is some of her most influential work. ; A Zoom Presentation: "HERB'S FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH" You can CLICK HERE for Part 1 (15 minutes) of a Zoom Presentation entitled "Herbs for Women's Health," which Homprang delivered at the Annual Thai Massage and Medicine Gathering organized by Rose J. Grsicom of the Institute of Thai Massage in New Jersey together with Nephyr Jacobsen of The Naga Center School of Traditional Thai Medicine in Oregon, USA. To view the whole 46 Minute Zoom Presentation you can go to the Herbal Therapies & Womblifting section of our TRAINING PAGE. .
"Thailand for me was such a beautiful, eye opening, majestic experience. I took over 4,000 photos in an effort to preserve the impressions as much as possible for when I got back home. Its something I want to relive over and over ."
