A floor (mat) based massage style, fully clothed, working with slow deep stretches, static pressure, gentle rocking movement, and still listening touch.
I practice Thai massage as a meditation of movement and stillness, with the intention to hold a clear space for you to enter deep states of rest, self-healing, and insight.
It is a practice of listening and following an intuitive flow that includes slow deep stretches, acupressure work, and rhythmical movement.
I also incorporate fascial work and elements of Craniosacral therapy.
Overall, receiving Thai massage is an opportunity to "polish the mirror."

Justin began his journey with Thai massage in 2006 through the fusion practice of AcroYoga, starting formal study in 2007 and continuing to study with a variety of teachers in Europe and Asia, mainly in the Sunshine Network tradition.
He began assisting courses at Sunshine House Greece and elsewhere in 2011 and has been gradually building his teaching practice since.
He now teaches regularly in Brighton and the South East and runs "Moving Stillness - School of Somatics," offering private tuition, workshops, and soon a certified beginners course in Thai massage.
He also teaches Contact Improvisation and Body Skills and has a background in Kung Fu and Yoga.

Kika Degani

Lomi Lomi is a healing bodywork practice from Hawaii—a sacred dance of touch, presence, and connection. It invites the body to slow down, the mind to quiet, and the spirit to soften into a deeper state of awareness.
With flowing, wave-like strokes and generous amounts of warm oil, Lomi Lomi carries the receiver on a journey of surrender and renewal. Each movement is a dance—graceful, intuitive, and deeply attuned—guiding the entire body-mind system into a space of harmony and wholeness. Each session is unique, unfolding as a dynamic exchange between practitioner and receiver— a shared exploration of healing, presence, and connection.

Lomi Lomi is one of the many threads in her work— During Lomi sessions, Kika creates a nurturing space where the body can soften, the mind can quiet, and healing can unfold.

I love how each session is individual and unique, the art of giving haptic expression to whatever clients are coming with and asking for. And I love the resonance between CI and 4Elements, especially in terms of using weight rather than effort, tactile subtlety and sensitivity, somatic listening, and the feeling of contact, being met, meeting another. And how powerful and beautiful it is when people feel safe and met enough to really let go and receive the touch they've asked for.
4Elements Massage training up to Advanced level, including Trauma Discharge Therapy (4Elements Company); CiMFT (MFR UK); CST1 (Upledger Institute); plus assorted other trainings
