"I am currently suffering from residual, neck, back, sciatic and radicular pain that radiates down the entire right side of my body to my thumb and the palm of my right hand, due to a "25% permanent injury" that i sustained in an auto accident nearly four years ago. Needless to say that by the conclusion of the "traditional" attempts made by my team of doctors, there was mention made of back surgery as a possible solution to my chronic pain...but that truly was not a viable option for Me!!!!!!!! My movement was typically very limited and guarded because i was always afraid of hurting myself all over again! However, once i was initially treated by jarunan, i experienced a pleasantly surprising discovery... I could gradually sense a difference in my overall health expectations and that alternative modalities might very well prove to be a hopeful adjunct to my overall wellbeing! You see, prior to this treatment in november of 2006, i had been reluctant to expect Any lasting results because with traditional physical therapy, relief was often temporary and disappointing over time!!!!!!!! Nonetheless, i only had a somewhat vague impression about thai body work at that time and the possible effects it has on the body, but i decided to give it a try anyway. Yes, although i can truly say that traditional therapeutic modalities do have their Valuable effects and benefits for immediate relief...,*thai bodywork is very different because it addresses more than just isolated symptoms. Although i've only had the one, initial treatment...i found that my energy level began to shift during the session. I even believe that it enhanced my sense of emotional wellbeing as i could see that i was in the custody of very competent hands!!! In short, relaxation began to happen on a deeper, more profound level as the session progressed. My body began to release all that nasty tension and Blocked energy that had been keeping me from enjoying even the simplest movements involved in my daily activities!!!!!!!! Furthermore, as an added support mechanism jarunan included her *proprietary blend of steam heated, medicinal thai herbs...even the aromatic scents themselves Were therapeutically soothing and calming yet invigorating and energizing at the same time! I guess that's what one might call bringing a balanced effect to the scenario. As a result my pain was not so intense, my movements where more fluid and even now i don't feel like i have to be so overly protective of how i move around during the day! I still have to take it "a day at a time" but its nice to know that alternative medicine is a resource that i can actually count on for more productive relief!!! With that being said...seeing that this is a "permenent injury."..i doubt that my body will ever be fully restored to the "normal" state of strength and mobility that i once enjoyed so completely before the accident. However, jarunan not only ushered in the beginning of a more holistic recovery and sense of freedom into my life that i could clearly see...but she also took the time to personally coach me on the benefits of her technique and how to continue with my recovery over time. Although i still struggle with what science considers to be a "permanent injury" i Just wanted to take a moment to commend and thank you jarunan for such a welcome introduction to my wellbeing. It is an ongoing gift that i suspect will continue to improve my current condition and will long saticfy my need for a more productive and independent lifestyle from now on!!! Yes, alternative medicine has done for me what "traditional medicine" had only begun to restore via "numerous" cortisone injections, "tetters", support wraps, spinal manipulations, exercise, electric stim and deep heat treatments !!!!!!!! Even acupuncture only resolved some of my inflammatory issues but was way too Painful for me to continue!!! One caveat remains here however, although thai bodywork is not all that easy to tolerate on an injured body i was suprised that i did not feel any additional aches and pains after the session. My normally, bunched up muscles felt stretched and elongated but without residual soreness from the bodywork.thus, with the assistance of additional naturopathic treatments, homeopathic remedies and nutritional supplements that i now enjoy...i look forward to More progressive, productive and tangible results and i eagerly anticipate a more mobile future where i can work, grow and relax more fully as time goes by!!!! Respectfully, Mrs. E. B. Valentine"

"Jarunan is a gifted Thai body work practitioner who loves what she does. She begins each session with a moment of quiet reverence and gratefulness for the opportunity to server her craft and her client. Jarunan’s objective is to help the body attain its maximal health and to heal, mend and restore. Her knowledge of anatomy and Thai healing techniques meld beautifully with this intention to produce remarkable results. Jarunan is adept at bringing exactly what is needed for each individual to each session. After we each had our first body work session from Jarunan, we were hooked. Having been to many practitioners through the years, we knew she was exceptional and just who we needed. I, Christophe, have been a long-time runner and cyclist, and have suffered from lack of flexibility in my lower back, hips and legs. Jarunan’s expert body work coupled with her very helpful suggestions for stretching between our sessions, has resulted in much improved range of motion and much less discomfort. She is a perfect addition to anyone’s exercise regimen – an all-around strategy for good health. I, Debi, work out at a health club regularly and practice some yoga. I often have tight muscles and tendons and occasional muscle pulls and injuries. My work is pretty stressful and I sit for long hours at a computer. Jarunan’s massage greatly improves my body’s flexibility and energy flow and helps me get the best out of my workouts and yoga practice. I feel so rejuvenated after every session with her. I have also noticed that I get fewer injuries and those I get heal faster. Jarunan is a delightful person and consummate professional who commits her whole self – her spirit, body and mind – to the service of her client. We never go to anyone else now that we have found her."

"To whom it may concern, Jarunan asked me if I would write a testimony letter regarding her Thai Body Work treatments. I do so with great enthusiasm. I have been getting Thai Body Work treatments from Jarunan since early 2006. I have back problems and I have definitely noticed an improvement in my walking, and energy. Before starting the treatment I had many aches and pains. Jarunan always knows exactly where to go with her hands. I think one reason Jarunan’s treatment are so effective, is that she understands how to mix (body work) technique with her healing instincts. Jarunan’s Thai body work treatment has been a wonderful experience for me. I recommend Jarunan’s “body work” to anyone who is ready for an individualized treatment approach. Best wishes, Merav Medzini."

"I was haveing a problem with foot pain and I went to the Washington Institute of Natural Medicine. Jarunan was the practitioner I saw. She did the best reflexology treatment I ever had. She is a very gifted and sweet practitioner. I would recommend her to anyone for a reflexology treatment. Just after one treatment my feet felt much better. "
