👇 Here’s a peek into his journey:
💬 Q1: What drew you to massage therapy?
“I’m a Registered Massage Therapist based at Sore Spots in Dartmouth, NS. I studied at Eastern College in Halifax, graduating with Distinction and receiving the Faculty of Health Award of Excellence.
My path into massage was shaped by a deep desire to support others in feeling more at ease and at home in their bodies—mentally, physically, and emotionally.”
🌿 Q2: What drew you to Thai Massage?
“I was drawn to Thai Massage for its emphasis on movement, breath, and full-body connection.
Traditional Thai Medicine views the body as an interconnected system—physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual. That really resonated.
Thai Massage felt like a natural evolution of my work and values. I especially enjoyed learning about the Sen Lines, elemental theory, and the unity of body-mind-spirit.”
🧘 Q3: What was the training like?
“Training with Tara was nothing short of transformative. Each day felt like a reset—an invitation to slow down and breathe deeply.
Tara held space beautifully, and our group quickly became like family. We moved, laughed, and connected in a way that left a lasting imprint.”
🌺 Q4: What would you say to someone considering the program?
“To anyone considering the training—go for it. Even if you’re unsure where it might lead professionally, the personal transformation alone is worth it.
Beyond techniques, you’ll walk away with a new lens for understanding movement, healing, and how we hold space for others. You’ll learn to work with the body—not just on it. And you’ll meet incredible people who remind you why you started this work in the first place.”
✨ Q5: How are you using Thai Massage now?
“Thai Massage has woven itself into the rhythm of both my work and my life.
I blend it into table and mat-based sessions—compressions, stretches, joint mobilizations, and heated work along the Sen Lines.
But more than that, it’s shifted how I live.
It’s helped me slow down, live more intentionally, and trust in presence and intuition.
Tara’s training didn’t just deepen my practice—it changed how I hold space in the world. It’s brought a creativity and flow to my work that I didn’t know I was missing. I no longer feel confined to the clinical framework—I get to show up more fully and offer something that feels deeply aligned with who I am."
🦸 Q6: Just for fun—if you could have a superpower?
“Definitely flying. I even try in my dreams sometimes—it always feels so freeing… until I wake up! Maybe one day!” 🌴
🙏 Thank you, Mason—your story is a beautiful reminder of how this work transforms more than just technique. We’re so grateful you joined the journey and proud of the path of Thai Massage.
