Over the last 27 years, I have traveled to Thailand 15 times to study, expand my world, and explore the unique regions of this truly amazing country.

This all-encompassing experience is targeted to those seeking professional development, personal development, and a unique cultural experience.
I just finished Eric's Introduction to Thai Yoga Massage Level 1 weekend training and am thoroughly satisfied and impressed. I find it challenging to find non-ego-driven men in the healing arts and Eric is everything but. Caring, humble, knowledgeable, and a fantastic facilitator. He has broken down this complex art into very digestible modules and teaches it in a way that reaches everyone's individual learning style.
Eric Spivack specializes in Traditional Thai Yoga Massage, acupressure, and injury treatment. Many of these techniques may be combined during your session. Your initial visit lasts 90 minutes and includes a full health history intake, as well as, a treatment. Subsequent sessions may be scheduled for 1-3 hours in length.

I was a professional athlete and I'm still very active in my daily life work, I've had body work for over 20 years consistently.The style that Eric has combined with his knowledge and extreme passion has been a real gift and I've felt that my whole being is more balanced after his work. The acupuncture with the Thai Massage leaves me relaxed and energized in all the right ways for days after each session.
His professionalism combined with kind spirit is exactly right for my well being!

I was looking for a Thai massage studio with a very experienced practitioner, Eric Spivack came highly recommended by a previous student of his in Spokane, WA where I live. I have experienced both styles of Thai massages in Southeast Asia at exclusive health & wellness spa resorts who only employ the finest trained staff, and I wanted to find someone with similar skills and experience as I am very particular and do my research on those I go to when receiving any treatments.
I was extremely pleased to find Eric and to experience his healing touch. I have to compliment him on the serene tranquility

Eric is one of the most talented and caring providers I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. His combination of acupuncture and Thai massage is magical and addresses a number of different complaints. I am so grateful to the help that he has been to me over the last several months and plan to keep him on my care team for as long as he practices. Do yourself a favor and book a session with him!

Eric is a great instructor. I had the pleasure of taking his introductory Thai massage class over a weekend. The presentations were concise, sequential, informative and interactive. He demonstrated techniques with competence and consciousness. Eric was alway mindful of helping people find adaptations and options to make each technique work for both the giver and receiver. I could go on and on, but I will end with the friendly and networking atmosphere that Eric facilitates with genuine joy and friendliness that embraces the essence of Thai culture and bodywork. I’ve been in the bodywork field

Eric was unable to address my complaints and instead told me to do very basic relaxation approaches at home, follow a certain diet based on Ayurvedic medicine, and take a homeopathic remedy that did nothing, aka a placebo. His bodywork consisted of applying only small amounts of pressure with swift movements, which contrasts greatly to other massage therapists who were actually able to provide some help. You may have a different experience but I was expecting more given his knowledge and other reviews.

Eric is a very gifted acupuncturist and massage therapist. He is attentive to my health and well being first and foremost. I have been seeing him in his practice for many years. Whatever my health issue, I have found healing and comfort in his care. I have always found Eric to be helpful when injured or needing a relaxing treatment. I always leave his place relaxed, calm and relieved. He is attentive to every detail. His studio is beautiful, immaculately and meticulously kept. I would reccomend Eric to anyone who wants a top tier practitioner of the healing arts.

What an amazing experience! From the setting of the massage studio to Eric’s professionalism and terrific massage, everything was more than I expected. I left feeling relaxed, yet invigorated, and definitely much more limber than when I walked into his studio. I would highly recommend Soaring Crane to anyone looking for a top notch Thai yoga massage!

Eric is a very skilled and knowledgeable body worker, and I highly recommend a Thai Massage session with him. On top of that, he is just a lovely person. Everything about Eric's business is professional, from his experienced touch, to his beautiful and zen feeling treatment space and garden. Eric has travelled to Thailand multiple times to study, and expertly practices traditional Thai massage, which includes a combination of stretching, compression,energy work, breath work, and so much more. He manages to find each area that needs attention, and as he smoothly transitions from one move to another
