My name is Lisl Thomsen. I have been practicing massage since 2008.
Since completing my original training in integrative bodywork and massage I have continued learning. Motivated by a desire to help clients and community here on Orcas I have sought out modalities that other practitioners were not already offering on Island.
The modalities I am focused on are Traditional Thai Massage and herbal medicine, which I have been practicing and studying since 2012, Gyrotonic since 2024 and Ancestral Japanese Face Lifting Massage/Kobido style massage since 2024.
I offer Traditional Thai massage, Table Massage (influenced greatly by the Thai Massage), Kobido/Ancestral Japanese Face Lifting Massage and Gyrotonic lessons.
While the majority of my clients are locals, who schedule ongoing regular appointments I am also happy to work with visitors. If you are visiting, please be sure to book well in advance to reserve your spot.
Sessions are by appointment only.
THAI MASSAGE: I have studied Thai massage with Nej at The Naga Center School of Traditional Thai Massage and Medicine since 2012. I incorporate cupping, gua sha, tok sen and Thai herbal therapy as indicated. Thai massage offers the potential for light or deep work. Working on a mat on the floor, with client fully clothed offers the opportunity to access tight spots that table massage just can’t.
KOBIDO/Ancestral Japanese Face Lifting Massage: I have received my training in Europe from Institut Takumi Finch in 2024. Kobido is a rejuvenating and relaxing treatment that relieves muscular tension and sculpts the face in its entirety. More than just a wellness massage for the face, it helps restore balance and slows down skin aging thanks to its toning, soothing and relaxing functions. Thanks to the refined effleurage of this massage, energy is at its peak: facial skin awakens, the complexion brightens.
Gyrotonic focuses on the fascia, nervous system, and skeletal system. it is a multilayered modality that can challenge your brain, your physicality, and both at the same time.
Gyrotonic works to correct dysfunctional muscular and skeletal patterns while increasing range of motion and movement efficiency.
The spine gets to experience full range of motion with arching, curling, and twisting, it’s like self massage.
Lessons are one on one privates
