Lotus Palm was founded in 1995, by Kam Thye Chow. In North America, the school was an innovation, being the first of its kind to specialize in Thai Yoga Massage. Lotus Palm, since its beginnings, has embraced growth and evolution. In response to the increased interest and the growing numbers of students, the school refined its therapeutic program, styles and levels of teaching. This lead to the development of a full formation with six levels of Thai Yoga Massage and the integration of Ayurveda and Sen.
Lotus Palm also developed many sub-courses, with the intention of diversifying the practice and broadening its accessibility. These adapted forms include; Table Thai Yoga Massage levels 1 and 2, chair massage, prenatal massage and styles aimed at targeting the physical needs of the elderly.

This was accomplished through additional courses, such as Lomi Lomi, Ashiatsu, Thai Reflexology, Thai Head Massage, among others.
