Our Teachers and Facilitators
Teachers and facilitators for Sunshine Massage School advanced classes.
We are proud of our teachers and their accomplishments.
Even though they are teachers they never stop learning and strive to gain more knowledge that they can pass on to their students. Each of our teachers is highly trained and experienced in not only the art of traditional Thai massage but also in the art of teaching. They know how to create a friendly and comfortable atmosphere in the class room so that students are given the best environment in which to learn and develop their own skills and practice.
