On the table
For anyone who would rather lie higher, or likes the warmth of a sheet and a little oil.
The table session uses the same slow pressure and stretches as the mat, adapted to a table. You are covered by a sheet, and only the part being worked on is uncovered. We use an unscented oil unless you ask for something else.
60, 75 or 90 minutes
Covered by a sheet the whole time
Oil or no oil, as you like
What happens
We ask how firm you like it and what to leave alone, then step out while you get settled under the sheet.
Steady pressure with palms and forearms, with the rest of you covered and resting.
We uncover one leg at a time, and add a few stretches if you chose them.
We finish slowly and leave you time to rest before you sit up.
Good to know
We ask first and check again partway. Lighter or firmer is always your call.
You are covered by a sheet the whole time. Only the part we are working on is uncovered.
You can pause, change position or end the session at any time, for any reason.
If you are pregnant, or have had recent surgery or an injury, ask your doctor or midwife before you book.
Who works on the table
Ava takes most table sessions, and Anong takes them too. Anuwat works on the table by request.
Licensed massage therapist
Ava is Anong's daughter and works on both the mat and the table. She takes the early mornings and the evenings, and is a good first booking if Thai massage is new to you. She speaks English and Thai.
Owner and licensed massage therapist
Anong opened Tamarind and learned Thai massage from her aunt. She keeps the pace slow and takes most first visits on the mat. She speaks Thai and English.
Undress to the point you are comfortable. Whatever you keep on, we work around.
Not unless you ask. We can tell you every ingredient we use, and you can choose no oil.
A few, if you choose them. The 75-minute session adds seated or side-lying stretches.
Evenings until 8, Monday to Friday.
