Topic:
Thai Traditional Massage (Nuad Boran) and Rasidaton (Thai
Yoga). This course concentrates on the classic two hour Thai
Massage: legs, arms, side, prone and sitting positions. Because
technique with fluency is the focus, the stomach, face,
and head are less the focus than the simple grace of touch and
flow over the whole body.
Hardworking
beginners can learn the full Thai Massage 'set' in this course,
while professionals can improve their technique, refine their
touch, and learn how to look after both themselves and their
clients even better. Rasidaton (Thai Yoga) is included in all of
Homprang's courses, but it's particularly important in this one.

in a class with such a diversity of students is an education in
itself!
There
are always a few men who take the course as it deals with
male abdominal issues as well, the prostate in particular. The
skills are also of benefit to any professional therapist with female

Sonam -- he was educated in France and has a strong academic as
well as practical background in Plant Medicine.
Students must remember
that Homprang herself is a Traditional
Doctor, mid-wife & herbalist,
and has no academic background to distract her. That is why no
two classes of hers are ever the same, and why her work is
always so fresh and relevant.
The exact content of the
course will be determined not by a formal syllabus but by the
season, the climate, social as well as natural, and above all by
the interests of the specific group. And those interests are
always refreshingly diverse from formidable specialists to what
are sometimes the best-informed particpants of all, people who
just love herbs!

One of Homprang's most popular as well as intense courses, 9 Study Days was never enough to cover the whole
topic, and serious students often came back to take it 2 or even 3
times.
The heart of the course is the manipulation of the uterus to
restore its proper place and orientation with the assistance of
deep massage & herbal compresses. But there was never enough time to
do the full traditional Steam Treatments and Postpartum Care,
and the traditional Prenatal Preparations for Birth hardly got a
mention. All of this will now be fully covered in the
new 25 Day Program
as well as allowing more time for Supervised Practice --
which is of crucial importance.
The course is of great interest to professional midwives
and doulas from all over the world -- working together in a
Womblifting class with such a diversity of students is an education in
itself!
Men are welcome in the
class as well. Not only does the male abdomen have the same
acupressure network as the female, there are important
male issues too, the prostate in particular. Professional male
Therapists can also learn how to work more effectively with their
female clients.
PayPal Buttons will go up in June 2025.
A number of students have
expressed a strong interest in this course. If you haven't been
in touch with us already, please do let us know and we will let
you know the moment the buttons go up!
The
Therapeutic Massage Course introduces cutting-edge acupressure
techniques that are used to treat serious conditions not
usually addressed by Thai Massage, These include migraine,
numbness, stroke damage, intractable back conditions, and many
other serious ailments. A background in Thai Massage is very
helpful but not essential. Indeed, the course is open to
any Professional Therapist with a strong background in energy
work like Shiatsu, for example. Indeed, the most important
qualification is substantial, hands-on experience of working
with serious conditions over a number of years, and a desire to
go further in alleviating the suffering of those who come to you
for help .The latter is a particularly important qalification.

exchange your Bank Notes, use your ATM Card, or get cash at a

Fee of 4.7% -- any transfer fee on any payment is your responsibility.
4.) You must inform your

Our classes are closed at 12 and often fully booked. We ask for a 25% Deposit
to reserve a place, insuring that nobody is turned away when there
is still space remaining. We refund deposits but only if a cancelled
place can be filled before the beginning
of the class. Indeed, we keep a WAITING LISTjust for
this purpose.
You should click
on thePayPal BUTTONSto the right of each course
above to pay the deposit, which includes 4.7%
to cover the Transfer charges. To
pay with your Credit Card you can click on the PayPal Button and then click on
Pay
with my credit or debit card. If you have a PayPal account of your own
you can use that as well.
FULL PAYMENT The rest of your student

note that
we do not have Credit Card facilities on our Bank Account,
and if you want to pay by Credit Card with PayPal you

For the easiest and cheapest source of cash, we
would suggest you use your ATM card while you
are here. But you must inform your bank
that you are in Thailand or they will assume your card has been
stolen!
LIVING-IN.Most of our students live here with us -- the place is beautiful,
the food delicious, the company good, and above all the students get
to spend a whole lot more time with Homprang and her family.
Traditional medicine differs widely from region to region all over
the world, and those differences have arisen not out of ignorance
but out of the enormous variety in the cultural patterns, religious
beliefs, family structures, diets, and climates of each region. We
strongly recommend you immerse yourself in this training as deeply
as you can by living here with us. And in the end that will be cheaper than
living in a guesthouse in town anyway!
REFUNDS FOR MISSED MEALS.A refund of
Bt100 for a missed lunch or Bt200 for a missed dinner can be claimed by those
who are here as Room & Board Guests and by Students on
Days-off, but you must tell us by 9.00am for a lunch and 1.00pm for a dinner.
There is no meal-refund for Students on Study-Days.
NON-LIVE-IN STUDENTS
(SUSPENDED post-COVID --
but it's changing, so do ask us about this.)
Of course we understand that some students already have a
place of their own in Chiang Mai and/or a significant-other who
works in town, or whatever. And we'll look after you well
anyway, don't worry. (Non-live-in students must pay the same deposit
as live-in students, but everybody is credited for the whole sum
that we receive on their final bill, so nothing is wasted or lost.)
