After a draining and depleting week, being on Shai's table under his care was exactly what my body needed. I felt completely taken care of, safe, and in a space where I was able to move stuck energy and tight and contracted muscles. I am thrilled to be able to add this to my training routine, my self care cup.
TLDR: Give yourself - or give someone who needs - the absolute gift of massage with Shai, he is an incredible healer.
Massage has been a part of my regular wellness routine for over 25 years. Of all of the practitioners I have been to, Shai is the most thorough, most intuitive and has unbounded technical skills.
A friend of mine gave me a Thai massage with Shai, and I experienced my first session in October 2023. It was life changing. I never had a first massage with a new therapist that had been as thorough and complete as with Shai.
One of the best traits of a massage with Shai is that when he starts working on an area with an issue, he will work through it and *put it back*. Many practitioners will find an issue and work on it for the allotted time for that area and then move on - leaving the area in a state that makes you notice it. Think "getting interrupted in the middle of a yawn". Its there. Its awake and you notice it. You will not have that kind of experience with Shai. He will thoughtfully work through the knots and issues, and mind the time that remains for the rest of your body.
I am so impressed with Shai's knowledge and skill that I became a monthly 90-minute member...and I usually go once a week for table ZENBLEND. It is the gift I give myself.
In 2012, I was in a minor car accident that left my car and my body crumpled but not destroyed. After the accident, I did not have the right team guiding my physical recovery and ended up losing a lot of strength and mobility. It was very frustrating as my life prior to the accident was very athletic - horseback riding, hot yoga and 90 minute power walks on the beach filled my week. Several years and a lot of work later, some strength returned, but I was still in pain. After a few months of working with Shai, I decided to have 2 sessions a week for 6 weeks to see if we could "reset" my body. It worked. When I say that Shai is a healer, it is because I feel like my body has been restored to 2012, and I am getting a second chance.
In addition to the practical & technical experience, Shai always has an amazing soundtrack and a beautiful view of the water and sky. Absolute bliss. I float out of his office every time.
I cannot recommend a better massage therapist and healer than Shai. Please book for yourself or send someone else who will appreciate the gift he has to share.

I'm glad you enjoy every aspect of the experience, from the music to the views. Thank you for your high praise and for making Thai Yoga Massage a regular part of your life.
I look forward to continuing to support your health and well-being in every session.

This was my first Thai massage, and I could not have had a better introduction to the practice. Shai created a safe, calming space and provided an overview of the massage elements and how they are connected - mentally, physically, energetically, etc.
It was a thorough session and a powerful experience for me, and I appreciated the care Shai took to make it comfortable.
I would recommend everyone try it - I left feeling lighter mentally and less stiff physically. Thank you Shai! 10/10 ⭐️

Shai is wonderful! I had a Thai massage, my favorite for its therapeutic benefits and energy work. Before retirement I was a professional writer/reviewer of spas for luxury magazines so I’m very particular and know a good one when I get one. Shai is very knowledgeable, warm, and receptive to feedback. Convenient location and free garage parking. I highly recommend!
Reply from Thai With Shai | Holistic Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner2024.07.12

If you've never had Thai massage before you really need to go and see Shai.
He combines Thai massage with some traditional massage that works on the muscles.
Thai massage is more about stretching out the body.
In some cases he uses his own body as resistance to stretch you out.
I found the Thai massage to be relaxing and beneficial in terms of certain areas that were tight and needed to be stretched out.
Shai has great energy and a calmness to him .
There is a garage with free parking for the building that he's located in.

My business partner and I were in Ft Lauderdale for a conference. We desperately needed some body work. Being a massage therapist with over 30 years experience, I am definitely picky. After looking online I decided to go with Shai. I am so glad I did. He is amazing. I booked two hours and feel brand new: His knowledge and way of incorporating stretching, certain muscle trigger point along with deep muscle stimulation with massage was incredible. I highly recommend.
Reply from Thai With Shai | Holistic Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner2024.06.04
Thank you very much for your kind words, Kayelyn, and for choosing to book with me during your time in Fort Lauderdale.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a massage at Thai with Shai, and it was truly exceptional! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcome and at ease. The ambiance was serene and calming, setting the tone for a wonderful experience.
Shai's expertise and technique were impressive, and the massage was tailored perfectly to my needs. His pressure was just right, and he worked out all the knots and kinks I had been carrying around. I felt completely relaxed and rejuvenated by the end of the session.
What really stood out, though, was Shai's kind and compassionate energy. He genuinely cares about his clients and takes the time to understand their specific needs and concerns.
I highly recommend Thai with Shai to anyone looking for a top-notch massage experience. I can't wait to go back and indulge in another blissful session!

Shai is one of the few massage therapists in the Fort Lauderdale area which make me feel significant improvement after each session. If you are looking to improve your flexibility and/or for a deep tissue massage, Shai is the one!

I recently started working with Shai after minor knee surgery. He’s not only easy to work with, accommodating my schedule and specific needs, but also displays a profound understanding of both body and mind. His approach is holistic, offering relief and relaxation on a physical level while also addressing stress and emotional well-being. I leave feeling rejuvenated and more in tune with myself. I highly recommended him for anyone looking for a therapist who goes above and beyond the typical massage experience.

Khira Hutchinson2024.03.08
I had the most incredible session with Shai. To start, the ambiance of the room is very warm and welcoming, he cleanses the space very well and it shows. I have received many massages in the past, always deep tissue or Thai to really target tension areas like my shoulders and neck. I came with the intention of just recalibrating and finding balance and I left with so much more. I noticed an incredible emotional, physical, and mental release in those areas and other areas as well. Shai provides a safe space in which you can shift into mind-body-spirit and emotional awareness and deep healing. I am grateful for his authenticity, deep wisdom and understanding of the physical body and his desire to help heal humanity through the work he does. Great playlist to top it off. Thank you again brother.

Shai is a healer in very sense of the word. I saw him for one 90 min table massage session while experiencing shoulder and upper back pain. I wish I had booked a 120 min and ealier in my trip so that I could come back again while in Florida. Shai is kind, professional, strong, and comapssionate and most importantly, he created a safe sapce for me to release blocked emotional energy and opened up space to receive the gigt of light. I will definetly be back on my nex trip to Ft. Lauderdale. I HIGHLY recommend!

Such an amazing experience! This was by far the BEST full body massage I've ever had!! Not just a massage, yet a great stretch and moved in ways I didn't know I needed.
