Why are we offering so much for so little? Anyone who has ever taken class with Aachan James will tell you he is nothing if not generous! Aachan wants the Practitioner and Instructor programs to be the best, the most intensive and comprehensive trainings of this kind offered anywhere in the world! It’s not just about listing and memorizing techniques and so called “trigger points”. Trigger points are good information… however, we believe to truly handle pain and suffering the fundamental dissonance of essence and being manifesting the pain and suffering must be addressed. It’s about the true teaching and transmission of knowledge and being via a living master associated with living lineage and active lines of transmission. Our program is not so much about technique as about transformational processes using the traditional tools we have been given permission to use. And use we will. Aachan says “Be what you know”. In our programs you will learn and practice living the practice.

After your CTP1 training, you will be eligible to apply for Certified Thai Practitioner Membership with ITTA which will allow you to be listed in the members’ area of the ITTA/ ThaiMassage.Com web site, and have complete access to the ITTA member archives for networking and research. Last year alone saw more than 15 million visitors use the site!
