Traditional Thai Massage Training - Foundations: Supine & Sidelying. 25 CE (NCBTMB pending). Mat & Table Modifications. July 9-11, 2026

Samantha/SNÖ has been practicing Thai Massage since 2018, under the tutelage of Kevin Lynch and blessed by their shared Master Teacher Parawat Poungpiam (PP) of SVG School of Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to teach Thai Massage Level 1 & 2.

SNO's approach is both steeped in tradition, to ensure that culture appreciation remains in tact, and a penchant for safety to execute traditional Thai Massage techniques ergonomically for Western-based practitioners.

Students will learn about:
- Daily Wai Khru & Meditation
- Intro to Sen Lines
- Supine & Side-lying techniques to execute a semi-custom 60 to 75 minute Thai Massage based treatment on a mat or a table.

📱 As Licensed Massage Therapists our craft is rooted in the real world, using our hands. In honor of earth day and reflection of our current dependence on technology Bodhi Work (Samantha/SNO) will be using less tech and more human output across all platforms.

When we are present online it will be with intention, not for attention. Mostly through automation, and periodic review of our inbox. We do not live on the internet 24/7.

Thai massage and assisted stretching are not the same thing.

☸️One is a centuries-old healing art rooted in Buddhist tradition, Ayurvedic medicine, and a deep understanding of the body’s energetic pathways. The other is a fitness-industry product in a strip mall.

🙏At Bodhi Work, Thai massage is practiced the way it was meant to be — dynamic, intuitive, floor-based, and fully clothed. No tables. No timers. No franchise.

This past weekend, we did a thing: completed 55 hours of training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Method).

Special thank yous:
• to the students for entrusting me with their time and education.

• for encouraging me to build and asked me come to NYC to teach

• Kiera, for your expertise and mentorship in teaching the teacher

To both Anne and Kiera, for helping me network and cultivate this cohort of amazing LMTS.

• for giving me a place to host and return to. What you have cultivated is amazing and look forward to being a returning lecturer in your community.

To anyone who wants to learn: this is a 5 week course designed for LMTS to learn and apply lymphatic drainage with confidence and competence. This is intentionally structured to be slow and integrative, allowing the information to marinate. Giving you the ability to execute and offer MLD soon after finishing your course, with confidence.

This course is accredited for 55 NCBTMB CE’s and is New York State Sponsored for NY LMTS, to receive credits.

Next Training:
Michigan Summer: Ann Arbor in July, Traverse City in August.

NYC: October

Great education shouldn’t be rushed.

Our 55-Hour Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Certification is intentionally designed as a 5-week hybrid training so massage therapists have the time to truly understand the lymphatic system, build repetition, and develop confidence in their hands.

This program combines detailed virtual anatomy and physiology lectures with a focused hands-on intensive so you can connect the science with real clinical application.

🗓 Virtual lectures begin the last Monday of June
📚 Mondays & Tuesdays | 6–9 PM | 4 weeks of live instruction

After the virtual portion, students will attend a 4-day hands-on intensive at their choice of location:

📍 Ann Arbor, Michigan
📍 Traverse City, Michigan

This course is structured to build knowledge week by week, allowing the material to integrate instead of being rushed through in a weekend. By the end of the program, you won’t just know the techniques—you’ll understand how and why MLD works and feel confident integrating it safely into your practice.

Because becoming a great therapist takes time, education, and practice.

✨ Join us this summer and deepen your clinical skillset.

It’s official. Our 55-Hour Manual Lymphatic Drainage Hybrid Training is fully approved through NCBTMB and eligible for New York State sponsorship for license renewal (Provider ID: 1002991).

This is not a weekend crash course and not rushed CE culture — a great education shouldn’t be a quick fix, and good tBodhiWorke time.

Our 5-week hybrid structure includes 25 hours of virtual lecture and 30 hours of in-person intensive training with deep focus on lymphatic physiology, pathology, oncology considerations, and true clinical application.

Join us for our next cohort this summer Virtual Lectures: June/July with hands-on locations in Ann Arbor (July) and .schoolofmassage Traverse City (August). Whether you’re a licensed massage therapist seeking advanced lymphatic training or a client in Ann Arbor looking for highly educated, thoughtful therapeutic care, you are in the right place.
