Pensiri  Matchachan is my name, but you can call me Warree. I am an independent massage therapist and teacher, certified by the Ministry of Public Health in Thai massage and Traditional Midwife, living and working in Chiang Mai, Pai and Koh Phangan.
I have over 10 years experience providing training, and treatments in Thai massage therapy, Abdominal Healing massage, Kasai massage and Thai oil massage. 

My approach to Thai Massage is practicing a kind of 'movement' meditation that is a collection of applied techniques and knowledge. I have studied and trained in the following modalities: Traditional Thai massage clinical therapy, Abdominal massage, Kasai massage, Thai oil massage, Foot reflexology, hot stone massage, herbal compress, herbal poultice, Tok Sen and other healing procedures under Tradition Thai medicine approach. In addition to this clinical foundation, I put great emphasis on presence, focus, quality of touch, understanding the importance of empathy, care and kindness towards the receiver. My treatments are a fusion of traditional forms with a modern detox twist, incorporating experience, talent, and the right kind of improvisation.

Even with this experience and studies, I continue to learn from the act of touching people, and from sharing massage skills with others.  Thai masseuse philosophy is about being humble and thankful to the receiver, or student, to be open to the guidance of the healing art.

It is my desire to share the art of facilitating change and self-healing the Thai way, the art of healing touch with Thai wisdom. When I give massage treatment I detach from the outside world going into the world of healing, concentrating with the intention to relieve the ailments afflicting of the person under my hands.  

I believe that teaching massage is a beautiful way of sharing and that to transmit this knowledge is a kind of merit ritual. Wisdom of alternative ways of aiding our own health care instead of just relying on allopathic medical treatment, is of great importance especially in the world we live in today.

Since her first Thai Massage class, she has seen massage practicing a kind of 'movement' meditation, one that gives care and kindness to the receiver at the same time. This made her feel happy (she only works only when she feels happy!).

Anytime she has a chance to give massage treatment she feels much more relaxed and it allows her to detach from the outside world. She goes into the world of healing by giving concentrated wishing to relieve ailments of the person under her hands.  

She has learned and practiced intensively for all of the therapy she performs. Particular styles of massage such as Traditional Thai massage clinical therapy, Abdominal massage, Kasai massage, Thai oil massage, Foot reflexology, hot stone massage, herbal compress, herbal poultice, Tok Sen and some more of other healing procedure under Tradition Thai medicine theory.

Recently, as she feels independent and confident to give massages, she offers a combination of massage therapy. She will perceive what is appropriate and necessary for you and will modify your massage treatment to your specific needs and conditions.

You can be sure that she will do her best to make you feel comfortable in a therapeutic way and suggest you the right treatments for your health condition. 

On the path of her teaching, Waree is very passionate about it. She believed to transmit knowledge regarding massage is a kind of merit. Teaching massage is a beautiful way of sharing. The knowledge about massages should be spread around the world to declare alternative ways of dealing with various ailments, instead of just relying on medical treatment. This means that Waree will share everything she knows with you. She also feels joyful that she could learn from the act of touching people, and from sharing massage skills to others.  Thai masseuse philosophy is about being humble and thankful to the receiver, or learner, to open up the chance to be a guidance of healing art.

Waree is passionate during class and gives feedback to the trainees until they feel confident to apply the skills they have learned. She is also always open to any questions after taking courses with her.
