In 2004, Dion's path led her to study under Ganga White and Tracey Rich at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA. Living in Painted Cave, just above The White Lotus, she found herself perfectly placed to delve deeply into the roots of yoga, guided by knowledgeable and inspiring teachers.
Over the years, Dion immersed herself in the discipline of Ashtanga yoga, practicing with Steve & Michele at the Shala in Santa Barbara. Taking teacher training courses with renowned instructor Tim Miller, practing and aquiring deep knowledge from Dena Kingsberg and Matthew Sweeney. Her passion for learning and growing in her practice has taken her to numerous retreats and trainings, where she has continually deepened her knowledge and drawn invaluable inspiration from many great teachers.

Thai Massage
Dion’s passion for Thai massage was ignited in 2002 while backpacking around Thailand. Captivated by the art and intricacy of this unique style of bodywork, she embarked on a journey that would deeply shape her approach to healing and wellness. In 2005, Dion pursued formal training at The White Lotus Foundation with Paul Weitz, followed by a specialized program in prenatal Thai massage in Montreal in 2006 at the Lotus Palm. Immersing herself in this beautiful practice, she delved into anatomy courses and honed her skills by working with a wide range of individuals.

We understand that plans can change, and we're here to accommodate your needs. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please call us directly. To avoid a cancellation fee, we kindly request that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Please note, there is a $25 cancellation fee for appointments canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, and a $50 no-show charge for missed appointments without prior cancellation. Your understanding helps us manage our schedule and continue providing the best service to all our clients.
Absolutely. Beginners are welcome in my class, and I ensure to accommodate varying skill levels. However, for those entirely new to yoga, I recommend exploring specific beginner classes offered at our studio first. These classes are tailored to provide foundational knowledge and practice, making your yoga journey more comfortable and enjoyable. Once you've gained some familiarity, you're more than welcome to join my Vinyasa Strong Flow classes for a more challenging experience.
Yes, absolutely! Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We encourage you to communicate your preferred pressure level before and during your Thai massage session. Dion is skilled in adjusting techniques and pressure to suit your comfort and therapeutic needs. Feel free to express your preferences so that we can ensure your massage experience is both enjoyable and beneficial.
For your yoga class with us, the essentials are quite simple. Please bring a yoga mat for your practice, along with an open mind, a loving heart, and a willingness to be curious and explore. These intangible elements are as important as your mat, helping you to fully embrace and experience the benefits of yoga. Together, they create the perfect foundation for a fulfilling and enriching yoga journey.
Thai massage offers a unique experience compared to more traditional massages you might be familiar with. One of the key differences is that it is performed fully clothed. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothes to allow for ease of movement and flexibility. Unlike traditional massages that typically use massage tables, Thai massage is conducted on the ground on a mat, often accompanied by supportive cushions to ensure your comfort. This setup allows for a range of movements, including gentle stretching and pressing, which are integral parts of the Thai massage technique. The focus is on stimulating energy lines, improving flexibility, and creating a holistic balance within the body. It's a more active form of massage that engages both the practitioner and the client in a series of movements, offering a deeply therapeutic and rejuvenating experience.
Prenatal Thai massage is carefully tailored to the unique needs of expectant mothers. To ensure the utmost comfort and safety for both mother and baby, we do not use the traditional stomach-lying position. Instead, the massage is performed with the mother in an inclined or side-lying position. These positions provide support and ease, allowing for gentle massage and stretching without any pressure on the abdomen. Our approach is mindful and attentive, focusing on the areas that commonly experience discomfort during pregnancy. Every session is conducted with the highest regard for the well-being of mother and baby, making it a nurturing and relaxing experience.
Our yoga classes are carefully structured to last one hour, ensuring a well-rounded practice. For Thai massage sessions, while you have the option to choose between 60, 90 and 120 minutes, I highly recommend at least the 90-minute session. The extended time allows for a more comprehensive experience, enabling us to explore a wider range of techniques and movements. This duration is especially beneficial as it provides ample time to address specific areas of tension and ensures a deeply relaxing and holistic treatment. It's an investment in your well-being, offering the best opportunity for you to experience the full benefits of Thai massage.
