Heal & Learn

Thai therapeutic bodywork by Dr. Sirichan.

Thirty years of clinical practice. Book your healing treatment or come as a student to deepen your own skills.

"We can never step into the same river twice -
the water has already moved on, and so have we."

Life keeps moving like that, and so does the human body. What you needed a year ago, or last week, may not be what you need today. Sirichan Thai Healing Center works with that. The Sirichan-Assessment meets the body where it stands this morning and starts there. Every massage session is its own; nothing runs off a script.

Sirichan's treatments are exactly for this! Deep healing bodywork - book your treatment. If you want to make space for a 3-Day Thai Body Reset, you can stay at our resort next to the clinic. This is for everyone who wants to focus on their healing journey - check your 3-Day Reset options.

For practitioners, whether massage therapists, physiotherapists, bodyworkers or whole teams - Sirichan Thai Healing Center teaches the wisdom of three generations of Thai bodywork: abdominal massage (signature), Chantra face massage (signature), full body massage, pregnancy support, the Amataros stick, Tok Sen and herbal treatment. Practitioners travel here from all over the world for Dr. Sirichan's clinical knowledge and leave with a certificate from Sirichan Thai Healing Center. Find our actual courses.

Dr. Sirichan, or Nooy to her students and friends, teaches and treats in the spirit of Sanuk Sanan, the Thai habit of meeting life with lightness and an open heart, even in the middle of careful clinical work. It is less a philosophy than a way of paying attention with the full body - learning in the very moment and receiving with micro sensitivity what a body needs now. This is what makes a difference in learning bodywork deeply, rather than from a schedule only.

Sirichan Thai healing center sits inside the Green Oasis Resort in San Kamphaeng, Chiang Mai, 15km's outside of the City Center. The resort with its lush garden has a restaurant, a pool, a mini-golf course and fourteen bungalows. House guests get 10% off a single treatment.

“I've sprained my ankle so many times, I usually tell practitioners to avoid the area - I don't trust people to touch it. After a two-hour session with Dr. Nooy, my foot felt brand new, with more space in it than it's had in years.”

Helena · Client

“I originally came in for just one session because of neck pain. She treated me so thoroughly and helped with issues I hadn't even been aware of. Now I can breathe more freely, feel lighter in many movements, and I'm no longer so stiff.”

Martin · Client

“After six years of living in Thailand, I finally found what I had been looking for. My treatments with Dr. Nooy combined authentic traditional Thai massage and Thai medicine, taking the whole body into consideration rather than focusing only on individual aches and pains.”

Conscious Design & Architecture · Client

“Not a single technique overlapped with what I already knew from hundreds of hours of studying Thai massage. Dr. Nooy helped me understand how to assess and treat what needs to be done for my clients.”

The person behind the practice

Dr. Sirichan's Story

Dr. Sirichan Maneechai - Nooy, to her patients and students - started at eight, working at the elbow of her grandmother Wissim, a midwife and master of Thai herbal medicine. The family skill turned into a life's study: years of training in temples across Thailand with other master healers, then formal recognition as a Doctor of Thai Traditional Medicine, licensed by the Thai Ministry of Public Health.

Across thirty years in the clinic she has built her own healing art, weaving more than twelve traditional Thai modalities into one coherent approach. It is organised around what a particular body needs on a particular day rather than around any single technique.

She will tell you herself that 'energy lines' now turns up in almost every course going, repeated so often it has stopped meaning much in practice. What she teaches sits underneath that: a felt, attentive reading of the body that no textbook page replaces. Which is why her courses run on trust, repetition and time, the way she learned, proven on real bodies rather than argued in a classroom.

Presence before performance, substance before spectacle. That is what 'Sanuk Sanan' (สนุกสนาน) means here: lightness and joy sitting comfortably next to serious clinical work. Healing does not have to be solemn to be real.

In her students' and patients' words

I met her during a time of real emotional difficulty, and she was like a light after a heavy storm. She treated me with Amataros first - afterward, I decided to begin training with her.

Lana · Student

I came to Dr. Nooy on a recommendation, with strong pain in my spine and shoulder. After just two sessions I felt significantly better. The way she explains and teaches touched me right away - she teaches through feeling and makes complex connections clear. Because of that, I spontaneously booked the Chantra Face Massage course. Dr. Nooy has magic hands and is a wonderful teacher.

Carina · Client & Student

The best massage I ever did. The doctor broke me and put me back together. I felt brand new afterward. It felt really medical and not just for fun. She really knows what she's doing.

Hodaya · Client

A huge thank you to Dr. Nooy and her whole team. We traveled 14,000 km from the Caribbean to Chiang Mai to be treated, and it was absolutely worth it. This is our third visit, each time with different health issues, and each time we've felt reborn. Especially worth mentioning is the 'baby face' massage - a truly rejuvenating facial treatment.
