The two of us
Both of us are licensed massage therapists. Pick one when you book, or ask who has the next opening.
Owner and licensed massage therapist
Malee grew up in a Thai American household in Charlotte and learned the mat sequences from her mother before she trained as a massage therapist in North Carolina. She opened Banyan after yoga students kept asking where to get clothed bodywork. She speaks Thai and English, and takes most first visits.
Licensed massage therapist
Sirichai, who goes by Chai, trained in Thai massage in northern Thailand and works in long, slow holds with steady pressure. He takes the evenings and Saturdays. He speaks Thai and English, and is glad to explain each stretch in either.
