Healing Through Touch and Presence

"When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything."

- Lao Tzu

Every body carries stories — of movement, emotion, and experience. At Sunbird Healing, therapy is a dialogue between body, mind, and spirit — guided by mindful touch, ancient wisdom, and nature’s intelligence. Each treatment is intuitive, tailored, and deeply personal — a step toward balance, release, and renewal.

This practice releases deep muscular and emotional tension, enhances circulation, and restores balance to the nervous system.
Every session is adapted to your body’s unique story — intuitive, grounding, and profoundly renewing.

This gentle yet powerful therapy helps with pain, insomnia, fatigue, hormonal balance, digestion, and emotional well-being.
Often integrated with lifestyle guidance, bodywork, or herbal compress therapy for a holistic treatment experience.

Ideal for: pain relief • anxiety & sleep issues • hormonal balance • chronic fatigue

Visceral Massage (Abdominal Therapy)

Rooted in traditional folk medicine from the northern mountain tribes of Thailand, this abdominal massage works with the body’s center of vitality.

A powerful treatment for reconnecting with your inner rhythm and emotional core.

Ideal for: digestive issues • abdominal tightness • emotional blockages • menstrual or hormonal imbalance • grounding

MY KNOWLEDGE & HEALING ART

My path of healing began early, learning from my mother — a massage therapist and herbalist who taught me how nature and touch restore harmony and vitality.

I first trained at IMOSHA School in Mysore, then continued my studies and teacher training at the Thai Yoga & Healing Arts School in Bangkok under Master Kraijakkri Rungrojsakulporn. I further specialized at ITM Chiang Mai, completing advanced courses in Thairopractic, Thai Herbal Compress Massage, and Hot Stone Therapy. My journey deepened through advanced visceral massage training with Diego Marquete and Joe Khumlee.

Alongside bodywork, my studies in Nature Acupuncture with Dr. Nemi (Acuveda, Goa) and my Reiki initiation brought an energetic dimension to my treatments. My long-time teacher Om Prakash Gaur continues to guide me on my Yoga journey, grounding all my work in awareness and compassion.

Each session blends these ancient lineages — Thai bodywork, acupuncture, herbal medicine, Reiki, and yoga — into a holistic art of intuitive and embodied healing.
