Student Testimonials

"I am delighted and impressed with the Thai massage training at Blue Lotus. The program is well-designed, well-thought out, and the learning experience has been great fun. I’m learning to give Thai massage and enjoying it, and I am getting way more than just that. What I feel to be the most amazing aspect of the program is that it helps students build a personal practice of daily meditation, self-care and gratitude. Paul is an extraordinary teacher – fun, patient, inspiring sets high standard and helping us meet them in a gentle and compassionate way."

“I began Paul’s program in the spring of 2017. It was my first time learning bodywork and it was my initiation into the healing arts. For me the program was magical. I rediscovered the healing power of touch and realized the depth of embodied transformation. I definitely came out changed. The experience really felt like being in a different reality.”

“After practicing Thai Bodywork for a short time I was looking for a school that would help me take my Thai practice to the next level. Blue Lotus and Paul Fowler were the perfect fit for me. With deep foundational roots in Buddhist meditation, the Blue Lotus diploma program guided me on an incredible journey of self-discovery and insight. Yes, I learned great Thai techniques as well as a highly effective and innovative Thai sequence – but far more valuable to me as a bodyworker were the skills that encouraged me to look deep within my heart and soul.”
