About Sirichan Massage School

At Sirichan Massage School in Chiang Mai, we are dedicated to preserving the authentic traditions of Thai therapeutic massage while preparing students from around the world to become confident, skilled practitioners.
Our mission is to combine ancestral healing knowledge with modern teaching methods, creating courses that are hands-on, clinically relevant, and deeply rooted in Thai culture.

Our Story & Philosophy

Sirichan Massage School was founded to protect and transmit the true essence of Northern Thai massage. Unlike many programs adapted for tourists or spas, our courses are authentic, rooted in the practices of Thai healers and midwives.

Dr. Nooy, our founder, grew up learning massage and herbal medicine from her grandmother, a respected healer. Over the years, she traveled across Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, and India, gathering knowledge and refining her approach. Her mission has always been the same:

To teach massage as an ancestral healing art
To blend traditional Thai medicine, herbs, and nutrition with practical training
To transmit not just techniques, but a therapeutic mindset that allows students to adapt treatments in real time

At Sirichan, we believe that massage is more than movement—it is about feeling, sensing, and responding to the body. True mastery comes when intuition and mechanics work together.
