Welcome to the Thai Massage Center of Marin
Meet Lineage Master Kimberly Call, CCHT, CMT, HHC
American Master of Nuad Bo-Rarn, Northern Style Thai Massage, Kimberly Call, CCHT, CMT, HHC, was the first to pioneer and promote Northern Style Thai Massage in the San Francisco Bay Area, establishing the Thai Massage Center in Marin in 1995 to specialize in this beautiful, powerful, ancient healing art.
During the 1996 Summer Olympics, Kimberly was interviewed by prominent San Francisco Channel 4 KRON TV personality and anchor Pam Moore, while performing Thai Massage at her Marin Center. The interview aired as special feature during KRON’s exclusive coverage of the Olympics - and KRON was flooded with more calls than ever in their entire prior station history - with callers wanting to know where to experience this amazing bodywork! This launched Kimberly’s reputation in her field, and her experience has built over decades since - her thousands of clients include Academy and Tony awarded actors and Guinness World Record setting athletes.
Kimberly was trained and certified as Instructor in 1995 at ITM, Institute of Thai Massage, which was accorded the highest honor of the King’s Award for Training, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Kimberly is a Lineage Master carrying down the revered traditions of Nuad Bo-Rarn, Northern Style Thai Massage, renowned for its Yoga influenced style and assisted stretches.
Ancient Thai Massage is an extraordinary 2,500 year old healing arts system based in Indian Ayurvedic Medicine, Buddhist spiritual practice, and Yoga. Northern Thai Massage fluidly and meditatively blends gentle rocking, rhythmic acupressure and assisted stretches to deeply relax and revitalize body, mind and spirit.
To distinguish the two styles - Southern style, centered in Bangkok, southern Thailand, can employ more hard, fast pressure, like Japanese Shiatsu, and can be painful. Northern Style, originating in northern, Chiang Mai, Thailand, is Yoga based, and incorporates gentle rocking, rhythmic acupressure, and assisted Yoga stretches, and should have “good feeling”, and is often called “Applied Yoga”.
The Yoga based approach of Thai Massage is considered “energy medicine”, deeply treating body, mind and spirit, and embodies the Buddhist virtue practice of “Metta”, loving kindness - wishing health and happiness for those whom it touches.
Unparalleled in its ability to open the energy channels of the body and extend flexibility, clients call sessions “awesome”, “euphoric”, and “what I’ve always been looking for - but didn’t know it existed”. Deeply therapeutic, Thai Massage benefits both giver and receiver. Like Yoga, martial arts and meditation - true Thai Massage cultivates the sincere practitioner.
Kimberly provides sessions in her dedicated, licensed Marin Green Certified private studio, by appointment, in beautiful Lucas Valley, San Rafael. She also offers and conducts Training Intensives to certify students, and is available to travel nationally and internationally to conduct certifications and custom trainings, as part of her lineage vow to “spread the healing medicine” around the world - and indeed the hundreds of students she has certified as Practitioners have brought this practice to countless countries across the globe.
The Center also offers a diverse and creative range of transformative, holistic and integrative therapies through Kimberly’s Wellness Living Curriculum. Through world class private healing sessions, customized spa days, personal and executive retreats and Life Renewal Programs - Kimberly brings her decades of mastery to her philosophy and practice, and she is legendary for inspiring new dimensions of mind, body and spirit vitality.
Kimberly’s leading edge wholistic health and environmental activism, philosophy and lifestyle is reflected in her book - which was the first to be published on the subject of “morning rituals” over a decade ago. For more about her book please visit her site below...
