08: Thai Massage - Natasha De Grunwald

Natasha de Grunwald is a pioneer of Thai Massage, a teacher, author and natural health practitioner for over 30 years. She is a member of the Association of Therapy lecturers (ATL) and teaches accredited professional training programmes in the UK, online and around the world.

In 1990 she introduced Thai Massage to the UK and is now the founder of a world renowned professional training school (London Institute of Thai Yoga Massage). She offers students the opportunity to learn a traditional, therapeutic lineage of Thai bodywork, under the umbrella of Thai Medicine. She has a commitment to raising the standards and putting Thai bodywork on the map as a reputable physical therapy and teaches the UK’s only 300 hour programme.

She is the founder of the Sacred Health Method, a revolutionary training for advanced therapists.

For the past three decades Natasha has travelled from New York to New Zealand, and from Serbia and Thailand, to learn from healers, teachers, shamans and anatomists. Her pursuit for knowledge has led her to the Burmese borders to research pregnancy and post partum care with village midwives and into a cadaver lab many times.

Her first book entitled ‘Thai Massage Dissected (published by Handspring publishing) is due for release in December 2020)

Having had a busy private practice since 1990, and having worked at Great Ormond Street hospital at the very beginning of her career, throwing herself in at the deep end, massaging women whose young children were dying from AIDS, Natasha has always been a practitioner with great insight and a passion to transform lives through touch.
