A Thai massage studio on New North Road in Mount Albert, Auckland, founded by Vareerat Janwong, known as Jay, who trained in traditional Thai medicine and massage at the Ayurvedic Association of Thailand in Bangkok. The team is Thai-trained, and the studio describes its work as holistic healing of body, mind and spirit. Options include traditional Thai massage, given without oil, a relaxing Thai massage with essential oils, a deep tissue massage for chronic aches and knots, a 30-minute upper-body treatment, and hot volcanic stone massage. A specialised treatment combines deep tissue and trigger point work for injury recovery. A 60-minute couples package is available, and vouchers can be bought.
Customers say the rooms and atmosphere are pleasant, and the staff are warm and calm. One visitor, arriving after a long flight, had an excellent massage. Another says the therapist adjusted to their preference, used gentle pressure and eased knee pain. A third describes lower back pain as relieved and says they walked out refreshed. Our pick in Mount Albert for a traditional Thai massage with a calm room.
