They spoke on the phone about their passion for Thai massage on the floor and how it was becoming easier and easier to me to work that way and less and less interesting to work on a table. Reinhold didn’t know that the first conversation they had was a first interview.

Michael was impressed with Reinhold’s ability to translate floor massage into a 15-minute demo massage in a chair. He also enjoyed his ability to articulate the body mechanics and proper intentions one might have to be more effective. But what he respected the most was the fact that beginning in 2008, I have dedicated my massage practice to this singular modality. After a few groups had gone through the initial lesson plans at Massage Space, Michael decided to offer a position to Reinhold and expand his organization during the move to the present location on 26th st.

Since 2014, Michael and I have grown close as colleagues and friends. We are always learning more from one another. In recent years, Michael has set aside our classtimes at CATA to participate each week. He is the lead Thai Massage teacher for Table Thai, and we co-teach our Practicum programs, which makes it a strong presentation for students. Out of that, we have become quite familiar with the ways that the other one moves through the phrases that make up a sequence. At one point, we began collaborating on 4-hands Thai sessions, celebrating the added value for the client when two souls work together for the benefit of one person receiving. Pairing up with Michael for these sessions has always been at the height of my personal involvement when it comes to how deeply the session has its impact within such short periods of time. It’s more like you had three massages rather than one plus one equals two.
Michael does not have a set shift for availability on the booking system. However, you can make a request for us to pair up for your 4-hands session using the form below.
