Another Year ~ So Many Stories

As 2014 comes to a close, I would like to thank all who have given me the chance to work on your bodies and who have shared their stories and their lives.
Give time to yourself to get what you need ~

This week a young girl of 13 came to see me after having gotten a Thai Massage gift card for Christmas. Her feet and legs were very tight from dancing Ballet. Starting very gently on her feet she gradually began to relax and fall into the therapy. We spoke about the need to stretch, and I gave her homework to help in the future. When asked how was the session her response was: "Awesome" and she gave me a big smile ~ that's what I need!

Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving Day I was looking through my messages and sending out wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who contacted ThaiMassageNYC over the past year. I was having fun, expecting nothing, just sending out the wishes. Over the next few days a couple hundred people returned the wishes! We use just small words, but the impact may be much greater than we can ever know. Thanks to all of you for your kind words, your appreciation, your sharing of the moment!

Reflections

 ~ Am back from trip to my native land and sorting through many wonderful pictures I took. Visiting the old fishing village in Phatthalung was an amazing experience! Taking a Sunrise boat trip was quiet, peaceful and ever so beautiful. The sky reflecting in the water had me thinking: the reflections go together, but sky is still sky, water is still water. They can get along with each other yet they are still on their own. It is the same with people: they can enjoy time together, share, reflect on one another and later they go on their own way. It is our nature to share, to join, yet each is a completely unique and perfect Soul.

Thai Massage NYC

Secret of Thai Cooking

Beautiful classic image of ingredients used in Thai Curry Cooking, from my friend Ruchchaya.
The secret of Thai cooking lies in the mindfully loving preparation of meals using fresh ingredients and plenty of spice. Artfully prepared foods for all to enjoy. Whatever you do, do it with Love.

The Experience of Trying Something New

For the first time in my Life I had the chance to ride a School Bus ~ As a small child I always walked to school with my Mom. As I got older I rode my bike along with other kids in my neighborhood. In college I rode the large public transportation buses around Bangkok. In NYC it's subways and bicycles, in the countryside it's car transportation always......except for last weekend.
We went to the Oyster Festival in Norwalk, Ct. and had to take a School Bus from a local college to the Festival Site. It was so different from the subway or city buses. Everyone must sit facing forwards, follow the rules, share the space, sit in the rows. The driver went very slowly through the town, it felt very safe. It was a chance to try something different, something new.
Have you ever tried Thai Massage? If you have not, perhaps it's time to give it a try.

Thai Massage NYC ~ Classic Beauty Lies Within

Classic Beauty is unchanging in nature. We are given these lives, these bodies, this breath as a gift without conditions. It is up to us to be healthy, to do the best with our lives. This car is an example of what we can do when we take good care. Are you taking care of yourself today?

Thai Massage NYC ~ Do You Follow Your Dreams?

Do you follow your Dreams? The difference between Dreams and Fantasy is in the work. Five years ago a young Thai man from the West Coast asked me how to start up his own business doing Thai Massage. He worked for someone else, but had dreams of one day having his own place. I shared with him my experiences and encouraged him to follow his Heart, go for his Dream. Every year since he has kept in touch, texting wishes of happy holidays and expressing his appreciation. In 2012 he got his Dream ~ Congratulations My Friend!

Thai Massage NYC ~ Really Seeing ~

There are times in Life when we truly see, and we feel it in our Hearts. Picking blueberries at Barton Farms and taking pictures today I had that experience. The blueberries go from green to white to purple and then blue, gradually turning from bitter to sweet. In the same way our thinking and emotions may change over time. When we truly open our eyes in the moment ~ Life can be sweet!

Exploring Without Expecting

Explore but don't expect. Bruch in Beacon then driving on winding country roads, later found myself at the Housatonic River in Kent, Connecticut. There was an Indian Reservation,  deep woods, waterfalls ~ so much nature and beauty. I did not expect anything yet had such a good time.
  It's always best to let go of expectations. When you come for your session ~ let go, and let it flow.

Be Patient ~

Hello my Friends ~ Beautiful weekend outside the city in the Hudson Highlands! Exploring the Farmers Market, found wonderfully fresh locally grown vegetables. Cooking slowly with patience and love, eating outside under lovely skies.....yummy!

Honey Money

Today we came across a local honey stand. It was help yourself and put the money in the jar. Apparently the honey business is run by a student who uses the proceeds to help fund her flying lessons. She offers something good, something sweet and in return asks only for your honesty. When we practice honesty we get something sweet!

Thai Massage NYC ~ Happy for You, my Dear Friend!

My Dear Friend Som, who modelled for me in my latest video, is now 5 Months Pregnant and more beautiful than ever!

Last week I gave her with a big bag of baby clothes and she was so surprised and happy. I know she will be a wonderful Mom!

Happy Father's Day

This Father's Day Weekend was a chance to get out and enjoy the beauty of Nature along the Hudson River. The sun was shining, clouds drifting, breeze gently blowing, and many people looked happy and relaxed. It was a great chance to get some exercise and be in the fresh air. Take care of yourselves, my friends and enjoy your families.

 

So many people write wonderful reviews for Thai Massage NYC

I truly appreciate the time my clients take to write me the reviews. While some are blocked by the electronic filters for who knows what reason, I am placing them here for all to see.

"I lived in Singapore and traveled S.E.A for a while. Now that I'm back in NYC and started working out regularly, I decided to add in a Thai massage every two weeks as part of my workout budget. I specifically was looking for a Thai massage because of the stretching element not found in other massage types. I worked with Nikki at my first appointment and she is amazing. I haven't tried Fern yet but I'm so happy with Nikki I probably won't (no offense Fern!). The location is a small clean quiet room on Madison avenue. Nice atmosphere, soothing music. You can use a massage table or the floor, whatever you are comfortable with. Wear comfortable clothing and just surrender yourself to their capable hands. Nikki will focus on a specific area if you like, or do full body. Its such a relaxing experience and my muscle tension is gone once I leave there. I'm a runner - trying for long distance - so she works on my legs and lower back especially. I was so pleased after my first visit, that I've made a standing appointment every two weeks. Go see Fern and Nikki and have an authentic  Thai massage. You won't regret it. They're so sweet and professional and really care about your body and experience and making sure you feel much better when you leave, then when you came in!"

Working with Fern Thai is about so much more than just giving Massage

Working with Fern is about so much more than just giving massage. It is truly about sharing between the two of us and all of our clients. Massage is an art in which therapist and patient together find the place where mind and body truly relax, finding relief and a sense of peace in the eternal moment. Together, we keep listening to our bodies and sharing the essence of Life and all of it's beauty. The chance to meet and talk with so many of you has been a bonus in my life ~ We talk, practice breathing, do yoga, and have smiles for the rest of our days ~ My name is Nikki, and I look forward to meeting you!

Thai Massage NYC ~ Are You Giving Something to this Country?

Memorial Day is a time of remembrance, when we stop and give thanks for those who have sacrificed their lives for this country. We remember today all those who have served in the Armed Forces. They have helped to protect the people and the land. Thai Massage NYC says thank you to all those who have given of themselves so that we may have life as we know it today.

Thai Massage NYC ~ "We're all just walking each other home" ~ Ram Dass

Each one of us is on our own personal journey in this Life. We set upon a path and meet others along the way.

Practicing Thai Massage I do my best in helping to improve your health. We share some part of our lives in that moment, and after that it is for you to find your way. Wishing the best for you, want you to be healthy and happy. For in the end, "We're all just walking each other home" ~ Ram Dass

Thai Massage NYC ~ Happy Mom's Day

Message to Mom's everywhere ~ You have brought new life into this world and for this ultimate gift we give you thanks! Every living Being on this Earth has a Mother. Take the time to say thank you to your Mom, for giving you Life, for caring for you. I remember an old woman I used to visit once a Month. Sent to give the Mom Thai Massage, I saw pictures of Family all around the room. She told me her children never came to visit her, and she seemed very sad when telling me so. It made me realize what Moms want. More than flowers or gifts or dinners, Moms everywhere just want You ~ to be next to her, to hold her hand, to honor her and to spend some time together. Give your Love to Mom!

Thai Massage NYC by Fern Thai ~ Life in the Spring Season ~

Everywhere, I see people happy ~ holding hands, smiling, laughing. Bright colors bursting forth, my heart is elated by all I see in this beautiful New York City. Much like the flower, we can open up to show our beauty, bask in the sun, be washed by the rains. Let's be like a flower for today!

Thai Massage NYC by Fern Thai ~ Visiting My Land

Thai Massage NYC by Fern Thai ~ Going Home to Visit my Land, the Land of Smile! Every year I return home to visit my land, my family, my home, my love. I was a little girl, perhaps six or seven years old the last time I travelled to the village where my Mother grew up, in the East of Thailand known as Isan. Thirty years later I plan to take my Mother to visit her hometown once again. This is a chance for a daughter to spend time with her Mom, and to do something special. We never know how much time we have in this Life before something changes. Give some time to those you love and to those who care about you. Love You ~ Fern Thai.

Thai Massage NYC ~ Happy To See You ~

Thai Massage NYC by Fern Thai ~ One dear client of mine I had not seen for two years and this week I had the chance to see her once again. When last seen she had been undergoing treatment for Cancer and her mind and body had been ravaged. She needed to be put into a taxi, she could not even remember how to get home. We had lost touch with one another. She recently asked her Chiropractor if he could recommend a Thai Massage therapist, and he told her Fern Thai. She gave me a call the very next day. She looked so beautiful! It was wonderful to see her awake and aware, happy and healthy. In my eyes she is like a flower, looking for water and sun to shine down upon her, so she can open up show the world her beauty. She is in my skin now, fixed in my memory. ~ I love you dear friend and am very happy to see you!

Thai Massage NYC ~ Who is Lazy, Man?

Thai Yoga Massage could be referred to as Lazy Man Yoga. Sometimes the body is tight and we need to stretch the muscles in order to become more relaxed and comfortable again. Ten to fifteen minutes per day of stretching can be of great benefit, and a yoga practice which incorporates the breath and yoking of the mind all the better. We can assist you in finding ways to open the body through Thai Yoga Massage, and teach you ways to remain open through regular home practice.

Thai Massage NYC Blog: Thai Massage NYC ~ Love You to Be Happy ~:

From the Vietnamese Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh ~ " Do I really want to be Number One? Or do I want to be happy? If you want success, you may sacrifice your happiness for it. You can become a victim of success, but you can never become a victim of happiness."



What is on the inside of you is reflected to the outside. Emotional unhappiness takes place in the mind and often translates into pain in the body. The body is talking to you, telling you that something is wrong. We need to listen to the body and take care of ourselves ~ find a way to be happy, more healthy, live longer and without pain. 

Give yourself a little love with Thai Massage today.

Thai Massage NYC ~ Balance ~

Thai Massage NYC loves you to be aware ~ Whatever it is you are doing, whether working, eating, sleeping, exercising ~ Balance is needed, in order to maintain a natural state of health and happiness. Mindful awareness is the starting point to achieving a state of balance in one's life. Do you practice mindfulness?

Thai Massage NYC ~ Working Together, in the Moment ~

When I begin working with a new client, I always ask: Do you know about Thai Massage? What happened to you? Do you have any problem on your body? How long have you had this problem? What kind of job do you have ~ sitting a lot, standing a lot? Do you go to the Gym ~ do you work out? These types of questions allow me to help you, to figure out what it is that you need. Sometimes I will tell you: I have to hurt you, sorry, but after the session you're going to feel more open in your body. As I concentrate on painful areas I work with your breathing, timing the deep tissue pressure to coincide with the exhales. We are working together, in the moment. We share the time ~ the Goal is your Well-Being.
