- Gabrielle de Burke -

Thai Bodywork (Nuad Boran) is a mixture of traditions that blends Chinese Meridian Therapy with applied Ayurvedic Hatha Yoga. Using the traditional mat style, sessions focus on massaging important acupressure and reflexology points along energy lines running throughout the body to treat health issues and relieve pain. Another important aspect of this type of mat based bodywork is that the client is led through various yoga postures using the practitioner’s mindfully applied pressure to physically stretch the client’s body in synchronicity with their breath. Thus, stagnant energy blockages are stimulated to release and re-balance, invigorating the overall vital energy of the body.

Gabrielle has over 2,000 hours of experience working on clients and has been a practitioner of Thai Bodywork since 2001. She has studied with Chik Quadir Mason of the Spirit Wind Internal Arts Society, Michael Buck of the Vedic Conservatory and Debi Philpotts of Still Waters Holistic Health Therapies. Gabrielle is an insured and registered healing arts instructor, international performer and arts educator. She facilitates healing arts instruction through private bodywork sessions, ongoing group classes, workshops & retreats.
