4 Nineteen Instructors

---

Hello My fellow LMTs!

My name is Melonee Crouse I have been an LMT since 2007. Some of my

accomplishments include training with a student of Pichet Boonthumme who

teaches people from all over the world in Chang Mai Thailand, who taught me

traditional northern thai massage. This showed me how the physical and subtle bodies work in conjunction with each other. I have worked with stage three & four cancer patients at Oasis of Healing in Mesa, Arizona.

 I assisted Dr. Meghana Thanki with ayurvedic panchakarma detoxes, working hand and hand with patients on their healing journey. I have taught yoga to children from three years old to teenagers helping them find some peace in a world full of noise. My passion for teaching has evolved into becoming a Massage Instructor; teaching at Arizona College to the next generation of body workers and helping them know how to connect and assist clients on their healing journeys. This journey has now led me here to create a northern style Thai massage course for you; sharing the knowledge that was given to me as well as the knowledge I have gained over the past 15 years in the healing arts industry working with so many people of different demographics of life. My love and passion for this work continues to grow.

Finding balance in my life is important, so movement, time with my loved ones keeps me in that balance. Some of the ways I remain grounded and connected to spirit, the earth, myself and my loved ones is through yoga, dancing, hiking, paddle boarding and anything outdoors. I also have a love for cooking and sharing that with a table full of family and games. Someone told me once that the people that choose to become a massage therapist is a sweet mix of Introvert & Extravert, I agree with this statement. LMTs need to connect with others to learn how to help assist and hold space for clients healing journey and to have solitude to recharge for that.

I am excited to start this new journey with you all. Let us play and see how

beautiful the body is at unwinding and connecting from head to toe. This is what Thai massage is.
