Mastering Thai Massage

This was a very educational course! I am extremely impressed with the materials that were provided. This is the first home-study course I have taken. I can confidently say that it won't be my last. This course is a MUST HAVE for anyone serious about expanding their knowledge to treat their clients and themselves. Thank you for offering and providing top quality materials!

I am thrilled to know about Richard Gold's long desire, drive, and colorful journey to create this program. It is by far the BEST home study material I have ever used! It is so well presented in both videos & the book that I know with some practice my clients will benefit greatly. ...this is something I will refer to again and again.

K. Crawford, LMT

I truly enjoyed this course, although the Thai massage I've had in the past wasn't nearly as extensive as this. Can't wait to have this style of Thai massage.

I love how I can keep the material to reference back to. Because the test was at your own pace I was able to obtain more information. Doing my CEU's this way has motivated me into furthering my education and has gotten me excited about learning. Thank you!

Patricia Moore, LMT, NCTMB

I was very impressed with the quality of the study materials and the way the book was laid out. The photos, the videos, and the test all helped me to gain a better understanding of Thai Massage. I was so glad when I saw a "Mosby's" book in my package, with its own DVD and then another high quality DVD for me to watch over and over. I will definitely be integrating a lot of this information into my practice. Thank you

Denise Bolanos, LMT

This course offers a good foundation but it cannot replace the hands-on practice needed to master it.

Thai is my favorite modality, this course was like one stop shopping for a new routine. Thank you
