I offer full Thai massage and Swedish / Hot Stone treatments from 1½ to 3 hours. In the course of the massage, I will integrate methods from the various techniques in order to create your unique massage experience.

I practice Northern style Thai massage, a slow rhythmic series of deep stretches that push, pull, compress, stimulate and lengthen all the muscles in one’s body. Thai massage wakes up and replenishes your energy lines while elongating your muscles.

Often people comment on not only how good it feels in the moment but on the lasting effect of relaxation and total body elongation on one’s overall well-being.
I have been to Chiang Mai 6 times. I have studied with Hah Yack Santitham at the Institute of Thai Massage (ITM) and hold the ITM Level 6 Teachers Training certificate. I am grateful to have also studied with Piched Boonthumee.

"Best hands " - The Miraval A Life In Balance Resort Serendipity Elite

"Whatever you do, do not miss having a massage with Tanya Hammond, whose healing hands may be the greatest natural wonder in all of New Mexico. " - The Los Angeles Times

"Many a weekend, Gillman (President/CEO of a manufacturing business) goes hiking in the mountains... Another part of his fitness program is a weekly or twice weekly Thai Massage from LMT Tanya Hammond. "I've had all kinds of bodywork, and truly, the one I enjoy most is Thai Massage. It's passive, almost like having yoga done to your body." Some describe this unique form of massage as a combination of gentle rocking, range of motion, acupressure, reflexology, energy work and stretching." - FitnessPlus June 2005.

"Tanya,
I had a massage on January 2 with you when I was at my home in Tucson. I wanted you to know that you have made a believer in me on combining Thai and Swedish massage. The pain in my lower back and shoulder went away after the massage. I flew back to Illinois and did not have the usual back pain and leg pain associated with flying. As I told you, your massage therapy was one of the best if not the best that I have experienced." - A satisfied customer.

Tanya, thank you for the great experience in massage therapy.  You have magical hands, and you're a wonderful soul. July, 2006

Thanks, again, for the wonderful session and for opening up my grief and stretching my body...wow!  I hope I can find a therapist near me with your training and abilities!

May Light and Grace always strengthen and guide you.
Namaste,
Tom

Hi Tanya,
I have told hundreds of people about you. I just have the warmest memories of you and your kindness. I always tell people that I have had massage the world over, and you are simply the best.

Swedish Massage involves a variety of stretch and pressure techniques designed to relax muscles by compressing them against deeper muscles and bones. This is coupled with rubbing muscles in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. This increases the oxygen flow in the blood and helps release toxins.

Swedish massage shortens muscle recovery time by flushing tissue of lactic acid and other wastes. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping
them pliable.
