Suggested Progression:

Thai Foot Massage | Thai Seated Massage | Hot Stone Massage | Bamboo Table Massage | Ayurvedic Face Massage

Ann says "The Thai treatments would work beautifully with the Hot compress massage as the herbs compresses are Thai inspired. Hot stone massage would work well as a combination of heat, as well as Bamboo Table massage. I have also suggested a face massage as you could make the face massage sequence more profound with this additional knowledge".
