The first Womans massage center opened in 2014 with just a handful of the Thai Massage vocational graduates from the women’s prison in Chiang Mai offering those who wished to use their newly earned skills in traditional Thai massage. By 2015, three massage centers were running to increase the capacity for these women in vocational rehabilitation who need practical support, in a safe environment. Many of these women also leave prison with little or no financial resources. With continual training once these women join the professional society, the services have expanded into massage oil, facials, and more. The staff are managed and supported by a team of professionals made up of academics and government officers, while gradually incorporating the rehabilitated women into manager positions as the project grows.
