Born in Thailand, Ning studied Thai massage at Wat Po Traditional School, a massage school located inside one of the most famous Buddhist temples in Bangkok.  Ning then practiced as a Wat Po-certified therapist in Los Angeles at a spa/chiropractor’s office, where she also began to learn more about Western massage theory.  With her roots in the Thai tradition, Ning expanded her repertoire by studying Western, Chinese and Japanese techniques at The Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in New York, graduating in 2008 with an Associate in Occupational Studies degree.
At the Swedish Institute, she added a formal education in biology, anatomy and physiology to her previously held knowledge of traditional Thai massage.

she now focuses her personal attention and skills on private and celebrity clients.

Thai Massage

Traditional Thai medicine is a natural, holistic approach to health and well-being, developed over thousands of years, which includes proper nutrition, physical exercise, the use of medicinal herbs and therapeutic massage. Traditional Thai medicine values compassion and spiritual health, as the Thai people believe that “the absence of illness is the best blessing.”  The applied medical knowledge developed by Thai people through many generations is part of the ancient wisdom of Thailand.
