Initially, Ong’s Massage School was brought to Brazil by Thai Massage instructor Mary Catija. After that, things took off, and it’s quite extraordinary and surprising how many Thai Massage teachers in Brazil are certified by and affiliated to Ong’s school.
In any case, Kru Ong (Srida Shiomi), the founder and owner of Ong’s Thai Massage School in Chiang Mai, confirms that the majority of Thai Massage teachers she trained are either from Japan or Brazil. You can read more about Ong in our review about the school.
In this article however, we’re going to take a look at who these Ong affiliated Brazilian Thai Massage teachers are and where they teach in Brazil.
You will find that most teachers are certified to offer the Level 1 (Basic) and Level 2 (Professional) Thai Massage courses of Ong’s curriculum. Some are also trained to offer other courses of Ong’s as for instance Thai Tok Sen or Thai Elbow Massage, and the like.
