Thai Oil Massage
This certified 18-hour Thai massage course teaches you rhythmic transitional flow of movements with oil working sen lines.
Course Description
This online Thai Oil Massage course introduces you to the practice and principles of full-body oil-based Thai massage, combining traditional Thai therapeutic techniques with the calming and restorative properties of aromatic oils. Through this hands-on training, you’ll master applying deep, intentional pressure along the body’s sen energy lines, integrating stretching, acupressure, and fluid gliding methods like ironing and stripping, made effective with the use of oil. Thai Oil Massage is a dynamic approach rooted in ancient Thai traditions, Ayurvedic wisdom, and modern massage practices — offering clients a profoundly relaxing and holistic experience that supports enhanced circulation, flexibility, stress reduction, and overall energetic harmony.
Course Summary
You will develop the key skills needed to deliver a full 60-minute Thai Oil Massage session confidently. This program emphasizes the use of oil to create a seamless flow along sen lines, guiding energy with intention and precision. You’ll learn how to structure your sessions effectively, integrate smooth transitions, and adapt stretching techniques specifically for oil-based work. The curriculum includes on-demand video lessons, detailed written articles, and practical resources to support both visual and text-based learning. Additionally, you’ll receive a digital workbook and downloadable materials designed to help you refine your practice with clarity and ease.
Beyond hands-on techniques, this course offers a thorough exploration of the principles behind Thai Oil Massage and its rich cultural origins in Thai, Ayurvedic, and Western traditions.

Grant Martens
I am the owner and founder of Sirius Health, and I have the privilege of being both a Registered Instructor and an Advanced Registered Thai Therapist with the Thai Healing Alliance International (THAI). I am also licensed as a Thai Massage Practitioner under the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC).
My introduction to Thai massage took place in 2016 during a visit to the Gellért Bath and Spa in Budapest, whilst travelling across Europe with my family. The experience left a profound impression, inspiring me to pursue formal training in Thailand. In 2018, I undertook my initial courses at the Thai Massage School of Thailand (TMC) in Chiang Mai. Furthermore, I sought private sessions with Mr Nat at the Suppatra Blind Massage clinic during this journey.
In 2021, I returned to Chiang Mai to earn my CAPT certification at the International Training Massage School (ITM), complementing my studies with various short programmes at Ong’s Thai Massage School.
In 2025, I devoted another two months to advancing my skills in Thailand. I trained in Thai Face Lifting and Abdominal Massage at Sirichan Thai Massage Learning Centre, Chi Nei Tsang and Karsai Nei Tsang at Loi Kroh Massage and Ong’s Thai Massage School, and completed courses in Prenatal/Postnatal and Pregnancy Massage at Ong’s.
