About Miriam

The Therapist Behind the Work

Over a decade of specialized training in sports recovery, Thai massage, and therapeutic bodywork — built around one goal: getting you back to peak performance.

My Story

I have been in the massage business for over 20 years in Bangkok, China, London and California. I know what it feels like to push your body to its limits — and I know the frustration of injury, slow recovery, and being told to just rest. That experience is what drove me into massage therapy.

After completing my clinical training, I spent years working alongside physical therapists, sports coaches, and orthopedic specialists. That environment shaped how I think about the body: not as a collection of isolated muscles, but as an integrated system that responds to precise, intentional work.

Today I work with competitive athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone who demands more from their body than the average person. Every session is built around your sport, your history, and your goals.

My Approach

Every body is different. Every session should be too.

Assessment First

Before I touch you, I listen. Understanding your training load, injury history, and goals shapes every technique I use.

Precision Over Pressure

More pressure isn't always better. I use targeted techniques to address the root cause — not just the symptom.

Integrated Methods

I draw from sports massage, Thai bodywork, deep tissue, and myofascial release — combining what works best for your body in that session.

Recovery as Training

I treat recovery as a performance discipline, not an afterthought. The work we do between sessions is as important as the sessions themselves.
