The benefits of this ancient and unique form of bodywork are immediately apparent as every muscle in the body, from head to toe is stretched, kneaded and relaxed.  The joints are loosened and the energy point and acupressure points are stimulated.  The immediate effect is one of deep relaxation and invigoration, while longer term is good health and balance.  Chronic pain, tension, anxiety and depression will be alleviated.  Spiritually, you will feel the joy of the healing connection with another, the simplicity of the accepting help, and a greater understanding of the energy that flows through all things.

In the Thai language it is known as Nuad Borarn; Nuad being healing touch and Borarn describing something ancient, sacred, and revered.  This system of sacred healing touch can be traced to India over 2,500 years ago as an element of ayurvedic medicine; a holistic approach to health emphasizing the balance of body, mind and spirit through diet, herbal treatments, yogic breathing, and manual therapy.  After the enlightenment of the Buddha, this healing knowledge was shared and preserved by Buddhist monks who eventually built monasteries throughout Asia.

In Thailand, Nuad Boran has been given with metta (loving kindness) from one generation to the next for over two millennia, and now encompasses the arts of acupressure, shiatsu, and yogic asanas.  This evolution has created a unique holistic therapy that promotes the spiritual, mental, and physical health of both the receiver and the provider of Nuad Borarn. With the knowledge of the energy points on the body (nadis) and the lines that connect them (sen), the practitioner is able to free blockages and allow energy to flow between organs and tissues.
