Rooted in Thailand
Puiy’s understanding of traditional care began long before her formal massage training.
Puiy grew up in rural Thailand, where traditional care was part of everyday community life.
As a child, she learned from a respected village elder who used traditional methods to help people manage pain, stiffness, and physical discomfort. These early experiences shaped Puiy’s understanding that healing is not only about technique. It is also about patience, observation, respect, and caring for the whole person.
Puiy also spent time helping her father, who was involved in Thai boxing. This gave her an early understanding of movement, physical strain, injury, recovery, and the importance of caring for the body.
Traditional Training and Experience
A strong foundation in traditional Thai healing and authentic practice.
Puiy completed formal Thai Massage training at Wat Pho in Bangkok, one of Thailand’s most respected centres for traditional Thai medicine and massage education.
She continued her studies in Chiang Mai and trained with experienced teachers in a range of traditional Thai healing methods.
Her training includes Traditional Thai Massage, Thai Oil Massage, Thai Foot Massage, Thai Herbal Compress, Tok Sen, Thai Warrior Massage, and Rue Si Datton.
Puiy continued developing her skills until she became an instructor herself. She is a Wat Pho Thai Massage Instructor, a Thai Warrior Instructor, and a Registered Thai Therapist with the Thai Healing Alliance.
Her work combines traditional knowledge, formal education, years of hands-on experience, and a deep respect for the origins of Thai healing.
Our Approach to Care
Thoughtful, respectful treatment tailored to your comfort and needs.
Puiy established Thai Healing Center to offer Thunder Bay a place where traditional Thai healing could be practised with care, integrity, and respect.
The Center was not created to provide a generic spa experience or to treat Thai Massage as simply another form of stretching.
Each treatment is based on traditional principles and adapted to the individual client. Depending on the service, treatments may include rhythmic pressure, assisted movement, stretching, herbal compresses, oil, Tok Sen techniques, or focused therapeutic work.
The goal is to provide care that feels grounded, thoughtful, and connected to authentic Thai practice.
How Our Practitioners Are Trained
Trained with Care. Guided by Tradition.
Practitioners at Thai Healing Center work within the standards and treatment approach established by Puiy.
They receive training, guidance, and ongoing support to help ensure that clients receive a consistent experience based on the Center’s methods and values.
Practitioners follow the methods, treatment standards, and approach established by Thai Healing Center. They are expected to understand the techniques they use, respect the traditions behind them, and provide treatments in a professional and caring manner.
Puiy continues to guide the development of the Center’s practitioners and treatment standards.
