Who is this training for? 

There are no prerequisites as such. A lot of the people joining the training are Yoga teachers, physiotherapists, massage therapists, spiritual practitioners. However, I have had a retired police woman, an accountant, a political scientist, and a school teacher loved the training just as much. Here is what most of the participants have in common though: 

• They are on a journey of self-development
• They are in the process of healing their own deepest wounds
• They are going through some big changes (career change, moving to a different country, going through a divorce, etc)
• They are looking for more true connection that has been missing in their lives or work so far
• They enjoy helping people
• Those already working in this field, are committed to continued training to deepen their practice and broaden their skillset
• Some already have a very clear focus in their modality, like working with trauma survivors, and they are looking for more tools and techniques
• Others are realising they want to work more therapeutically within the field they are already in
• Everyone is drawn to Eastern Healing Arts

What previous participants say

I really, really love Kat's teaching and would recommend her to anyone feeling the call to Thai Yoga Massage. She creates a safe, peaceful and totally supportive environment, ideal for learning this beautiful practice. Each movement or concept is taught with precision, care and love. Kat is incredibly sensitive to the needs and gifts of each individual, and I felt my learning process was fully supported throughout Level 1 and 2. If you enjoy learning in small groups and in a peaceful but fun and friendly atmosphere, the Hadadi School is ideal. Nothing but love is found here.

​Feeling so grateful and blessed for having such an amazing and inspiring teacher who took us on this Thai Massage journey :) Thank you!

Truly inspiring, thank you!

Kat's approach is a balanced blend of the physical and energetic. Kat embodies her teaching; she is precise and thorough. The class is very practical and hands on- most of the time is spent either giving or receiving massage. I really appreciated the format of the class as well, as it allows time between each session to practice the new material. I felt transformed after the course, so proud to have learned this new skill that I am able to share with others.
​~ Kate

I loved every minute of the Thai Yoga Massage course. It has given me a wonderful new career in a beautiful, beneficial therapy. Kat is a fantastic teacher, patient and thorough. A truly wonderful course which I would recommend to anyone thinking about taking their work in a new direction.

What is Thai Yoga Massage?

Thai Yoga Massage comes from an ancient Buddhist tradition and is a unique combination of yoga, acupressure, meditation, physiotherapy and energy work. It is a holistic therapy form with the aim to restore the natural energy balance in body and mind.

Thai Massage, with its grounding and deeply relaxing qualities, is the perfect antidote to our modern lifestyle stresses. With the release of holding and blockages, not only the body can regenerate, but the mind also has a chance to quieten down. 

Thai Massage promotes general health and well-being. Working to release blockages in the body’s energy system, it can help to improve posture, lower back pain, breathing and flexibility. It helps to dissolve muscular tension and can counteract physical and mental exhaustion, stress symptoms and discomfort. The neurological response makes the organs work more efficiently, so digestion and circulation can improve, blood pressure level can normalise and headaches disappear.
