Thai Massage Berlin
David Garcia Garcia
I see Thai massage as a physical dialogue between the body of the recipient and the masseur. It is a ritual that can gradually increase in depth and intensity as the recipient becomes more receptive and trusting of the process. In my five years of experience as a masseur, I have developed my own personal approach to Thai massage that focuses on placing awareness on each client's current physical and emotional state, in order to achieve a environment of trust and safety. Thai massage employs the masseur's entire body as a massaging tool, utilizing the weight of the body and gravity force to create a firm, yet sensitive touch that connects with the recipient's energetic channels. While it initially targets the more superficial layers of the body, it ultimately reaches the deepest tissues, such as connective tissues, bone joints, or fascia, by encouraging the body to relax and release tension. I have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, as well as diverse bodies, including people with physical disabilities or different abilities. As a queer person myself, I understand the importance of creating a safe and inclusive space for each person. At Thai Massage, we perform the massage on a firm surface at ground level, using a tatami or a mat. Clients can keep their clothes on and wear comfortable, light clothing.
David
David Garcia Garcia studied Physical Theater in Madrid and Bilbao from 2005 to 2010.
During his studies at HfS Ernst Bush in Berlin in 2010, he also learned Contemporary Dance and Contact Improvisation Dance.
Between 2015 and 2018, David participated in the work of Authentic Eros in Berlin, where he learned various techniques and practices of massage, bodywork, and meditation. He facilitated the Contact Improvisation Dance Lab at Village Berlin from 2016 to 2019 and also taught workshops on Physical Theater and Contemporary Dance at the Stretch Festival organized by Authentic Eros. In addition, he created the workshops: Queer Improvisation Dance and Rollerblading Falling Dance.
In 2017 and 2018, David completed his training in Intuitive Thai Massage at the Somatische Akademie in Berlin under the guidance of Zahiro Kai Esko.
I discovered my passion for massage through my experiences in physical theater, contemporary dance, and contact improvisation. These disciplines all emphasized self-awareness of the body, mind, and emotions, and to learn to use this awareness as a tool for expression and creation.
One aspect that stood out to me was the importance of consciousness and empathy with other members of the group in both working and creating.I found it fascinating how these artistic disciplines fostered personal development and growth alongside group dynamics.
Over the past seven years, I have organized various dance and theater group workshops centered around emotional awareness, physical boundaries, communication, group dynamics, and artistic expression. It was during this time that Thai Massage crossed my path and I became absolutely fascinated by its potential to heal and improve quality of life. I was struck by the simplicity and power of its deep practice.
Now, as a massage practitioner, I am passionate about using my knowledge of the body and my experience in these disciplines to help people connect with themselves and others, gain awareness, and promote personal growth and healing.
Which massage session is best for you today
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable massage experience, we kindly request that you book your session at least one day in advance. It's best to schedule your session on a day when you have ample free time to dedicate to self-care, whether it's your free day or a relaxing time after work. We recommend avoiding making any big plans after the massage, so you can fully savor the benefits of the session. I always set aside an additional 30 minutes for each massage session to ensure that you have plenty of time to fully relax and settle in before we begin. So when you book a 90-minute massage session, you'll actually receive 120 minutes of care and attention. This way, you won't feel rushed and can fully benefit from the experience. During this time, we’ll take a moment to arrive fully and check in with ourselves, becoming more aware of our bodies and how we're feeling. I also like to offer a brief guided meditation to help you relax and set your intention for the massage.

Testimonials
Daviz is a beautiful and kind person, who made me feel comfortable and relaxed from the first moment. His massage is not a mere physical experience to me; it helped me to let go on all levels and made me feel safe and taken care of - I was floating for days after our sessions. In the state of pure relaxation I could reconnect with my body and clear my mind. He’s not just caring and humble - treating you with the greatest respect - but he also has this capability of reading energy and adjusts his practice accordingly to what you need in this very moment. I value his method highly and I will for sure have more sessions with him.
Jenny HirtzYoga teacher Davids intuitive Thai-Massage kann ich aus eigener Erfahrung nur von ganzem Herzen empfehlen. Seine ruhige und verbundene Art der Körperarbeit ist unglaublich wohltuend und entspannend. Eine wundervolle Art, Kraft zu schöpfen und sich einfach etwas Gutes zu gönnen.
Frank GebhardtHeilpraktiker für Psychoterapie I came to David with extreme back pain I had acquired from over training that week at the gym. His session was both deep and subtle. Listening to my bodies pains and gateways to healing, he responded with breath that indicated his intuitive and responsive touch. I left our session surprisingly pain free, and went on to dance all evening in a performance event we were both involved with, as well as partying well into the night! I woke the next morning feeling light and available for the day ahead. I am deeply grateful for David's bodywork, and will come back to him again when in need.
Tsuki BecomingDancer Performer and yoga teacher I felt so at ease and relaxed with David right from the first moment. Everything was perfect, the intro, the massage, the goodbye. David is very sensitive and empathetic, so he felt exactly what I needed in each moment. His massage is professional and individual and I felt like my whole body was letting go of being stiff and stuck. David worked through all of it while I was in a deep meditative state.
Highest recommendation!
Best thing to do and best investment in oneself!
Jana WieskötterEmbodiment Coach für Veränderungen David Garcia was recomenned to my by a friend and I ended up recommending him myself to other friends and all of us were happy to see him.
I have a lot of trauma stuck in my body because of vilonce in my past and i deal with fibromalgia also in my body. So usally, a massage can be to much for me, it triggers me and flares up my body, but this did not happen with David. He is so respecktfull and instinctive and empathyc.
For a woman like me, with also sexual traumas, its hard to be vulnerable and give trust in such vulnerable moments. But I felt David was so sensitive, creating a sacred space for me where I could feel, to try and to enjoy, to relax and feel healing as well inside as outside.
I felt total trust towards him and my body felt great after.
There is lot of contact in this kind of Thai Massage but i felt total trust with him. And as well all my friends that went to him were very happy. Its like he reads every individual and knows how diffrent we are and were your either physical or emotional sensibility lies.
I highly recomment David and his massage.
I felt he took very good care of me the 2 times I went.
You get a lot in the 90 minutes, he gives a lot of himself and creates a sacred space for your body. I felt open and lot of healing... I will for sure see him again.
