A Thai and therapeutic massage practice on Hassall Street in Parkside, Timaru, where the therapist trained at Wat Po in Bangkok, according to the website. Awan Therapeutic Thai Massage is at 37 Hassall Street. The website describes Thai oil massage followed by hot stone therapy, therapeutic massage focused on specific areas of pain or tension, and firm-pressure work on deep muscle layers. It also lists acupressure with assisted stretching, a flowing massage with essential oils, and foot pressure-point treatments. The website says the therapist has more than 20 years' experience.
We hear there is a limited-time offer of 10% off a first treatment, and the website lists gift vouchers. Reviewers describe the therapist as outstanding, with a strong work ethic and an ability to find where the tension is. One reviewer came in after weeks of long driving and says the tension was removed, and another says every session leaves them relaxed and refreshed.
