About Eriko Senseï
Eriko Tsuchiya, known as Eriko Sensei, began learning Thai massage in 2003 in Thailand and Japan. After a period of intensive spa work that left her exhausted, she looked for a different approach to massage and found it with her teachers Koji Hiroshige Sensei and Ajahn Pichest Boonthumme, both now deceased. She followed Ajahn Pichest's teaching for more than ten consecutive years. She divides her time between her home in the Hérault in France and annual trips to Japan, and teaches the specialised course on the art of Nuad Boran and relaxation at the Nuad Sen school in Marseille. Alongside technique, her teaching addresses positioning, movement, pressure and palpation, respect for teachers and tradition, inner confidence and taking care of oneself while caring for others. Students first learn a sequence and then develop their listening so that the massage can go beyond the sequence and adapt to what the receiver feels. She teaches in French and English.
