What it's about
Nuad Thao is the traditional Thai foot massage, performed with the receiver seated on a chair or lying down and working from the feet up to the knees. The practitioner uses the hands and a wooden stick with oil or balm, mobilises the foot and ankle and applies pressure to reflex zones along the energy lines. Through these reflex zones the whole body is addressed, and nervous and muscular tension is relieved.
By the end of the course, participants should be able to identify the reflex zones of the feet and stimulate them effectively, and to identify the essential anatomical areas of the foot and ankle. They learn a complete 60-minute protocol, performed on the floor or on a chair depending on the flexibility of practitioner and receiver, and how to integrate foot massage into a full-body treatment using techniques from Thai massage.
The course is taught by Cécile Hérault, who also teaches Thai massage trainings with David Lutt, and is organised by Bojan Babic. It takes place on 11–13 December 2026 at Homeplace in Belgrade, on Friday from 11:00 to 18:00, Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00 and Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00, with a 90-minute lunch break each day. The fee is €350 and includes the course and educational materials; the Serbian text also mentions a script and a certificate.
