Client Testimonials

Love the studio and the service.

The space is warm and calming from the moment you enter. The entire experience was delightful.
Nuad offers the most incredible massage services in Philadelphia. Come for deep tissue, then try Thai or Ashiatsu. The studios are spotless, relaxing, warm, and Eun is a master massage artist. You will be taken care of, get a great massage, and find the most lovely quiet space to decompress and center yourself. Coming here has been such a gift! Thank you Eun!!!

This was my first introduction to Thai massage: while intense, it was amazingly effective work!
Eun Jung is a gifted healer. She is sensitive and strong, intuitive, intelligent and kind. She can work very very deep a gentle and nurturing touch.

Just amazing
Great place, will be back!

Great location, calm & spacious space. Easy to contact and access
Eun Jung is knowledgeable and professional. She is respectful and sensitive to the client's response to the treatment. Highly recommended!

This was my first time for both Thai Massage and Chi New Tsang, and I had a very positive experience with both. I wanted to treat myself to some powerful healing as a birthday present, and I am very glad that I did. I think some major shifts happened during my treatment and I was exhausted and in bed by 9pm (instead of midnight!).

If you have an injury, or live with chronic pain, you know how alienating that experience can be. You begin to feel separate from your body, you begin to feel as though your body has betrayed you, you begin to feel isolated and alone. One of the cruelest aspects of pain is that the alienation it causes only produces more pain; it is only when we begin to reintegrate our “selves” with our bodies that healing can begin. In order to begin that process, we must become more, not less, aware and accepting of our bodies and yes, of our pain. But healing is possible, yes! As a practitioner of both Western and Thai massage modalities, I would love to be a facilitator for your healing process with intentions toward your wellness.

It is a known fact that we, as human, need touch to survive. As a movement artist and a dance maker for the past 30+ years in the U.S., Korea and Mexico, I have been privileged to work within intimate communities where physical contact has been an integral part of artistic practice and exploration. My dance partners have brought care, compassion, clear intention and generosity to our work and have made me feel connected and nurtured and have promoted feel-good sensations that foster a sense of well-being and happiness. My sense of physical contact within dance practice has been a dynamic healing path in many ways: physical, psychological and social. It is biology as much as it is psychology. Touch has been life itself in my own personal artistic expression.

As a movement artist, I initially became fascinated with Thai massage because its physical form and shape resemble partnering dance. As a novice, the physical shapes of Thai massage were beautiful to watch, and the benefits of receiving Thai massage were tremendous. My own moving body began to feel both energized and supple. Others have noted that Thai massage also resembles yoga practiced with a partner, and in fact Thai massage is sometimes referred to as Thai Yoga in the West.

The beauty and the benefits of Thai massage become so clear in my life that I began studying to become a Thai massage practitioner myself. Since 2014 I have traveled annually to Chiang Mai in Thailand to spend several months of intensive study with various and diverse teachers of Thai massage. I am also a graduate of the Philadelphia School of Massage and Bodywork, where I have studied to become a licensed massage therapist, primarily focusing on Western massage modalities such as Swedish, deep tissue, myo-fascial, trigger point, sports and pre-natal massage. Through all of my training, I have come to understand some of the human behaviors that cause specific symptoms and pain, and I have also learned the power of being fully present to listen in my massage practice. My teacher says, "Don't use your own power." True power comes from listening. Yes! I am a facilitator and I believe my knowledge, attentive touch and listening are compelling tools I can offer to people in their healing processes.
Notes:
I value your time and care about your well being. I limit my availability in order to offer quality service to each client with full attention. I do not book more than 3 sessions a day, but I always offer to make myself available to those who needs urgent care. If you do not see a time block that you would like to book, feel free to contact me directly: nuadboranphilly@gmail.com.

Eun Jung is extremely knowledgeable and works with a gentle strength that is really unlike any other bodywork I have received. She attunes to your body in an informed, empathic, and kind way that supports the process beautifully.

by Suzanne on Jan 19

Ashiatsu with Eun is just a remarkable experience. As is everything with Eun. She is deeply knowledgeable, passionate about her craft, and has the most wonderfully strong and soothing hands and feet. Ashiatsu involves her using her feet and I'm always grateful for how deep and consistent Eun is during the massage. I've done Thai, deep tissue, and Ashiatsu with Eun--each serves a different purpose and is amazing in different ways. If you're looking for deep tissue with very intentional relaxation, try the Ashiatsu with Eun. You will love it and wonder how you lived without it!!

Guillermo Ortega, (dance educator / Thai bodyworker) offers Integrated Thai bodywork and Chi Nei Tsang in Philadelphia. Massage can facilitate the body's natural tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, which we call homeostasis or “feeling good”. Guillermo wants to help clients to achieve wellness and keen awareness of their own bodies through massage to achieve a sense of balance and freedom. His work as a dancer, dance teacher, and pilates instructor informs his massage practice and understanding of body mechanics, kinetic chains, and training potential.

Guillermo’s massage journey started with traveling to Chiang Mai, Thailand between 2014 and 2018 to study Thai bodywork. While in Thailand, he completed GTC 300-hour Teacher Training program at Thai Massage School (TMC). There he also studied several Thai massage modalities such as Jack Chaiya’s Nerve Touch Technique, Thara massage technique, Tok Sen, Karen Hill, Trigger Point Thai Massage, Reflexology, and Chi Nei Tsang. Back in the USA, he studied between 2017-18 at the Philadelphia School of Massage and Bodywork, 700-hour training in Swedish massage, Sports massage, Trigger Points, Prenatal, and myofascial release among others.

Past education includes a BFA in Contemporary Dance from the “Escuela Nacional de Danza Clasica y Contemporanea” in Mexico City as well as a MFA from Temple University. He is an adjunct professor at Rowan University and Temple University.

Guillermo is a skilled and professional massage therapist, very kind and intuitive. I have a job that requires me to sit for hours at a time and my regular appointments with him have helped my lower back pain immensely!

by Alaina on Aug 23

I have been seeing Guillermo for six months. I am impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and most importantly, his ability to address my physical pain effectively. My mom is a massage therapist, and I have been searching for over a decade for someone as good as her. Guillermo clearly loves his work, and makes his clients feel welcome and cared for. I love the Thai massage for my chronic pain and old injuries, and the abdominal massage really helped when I was having stomach issues. I can't recommend Guillermo enough!

Guillermo was phenomenal! One of the best massages I've ever had, period.
