Services
Thai Massage
Traditional Thai massage combines deep compression, passive stretching, and energy line work to release tension and improve mobility. This floor-based therapy uses herbal compresses and essential oils to enhance circulation while promoting both relaxation and energy. Clients remain fully clothed during sessions that range from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours.
Ayurvedic Consultation
Personalized Ayurvedic consultations analyze constitutional type through pulse diagnosis and elemental balance. Sessions include lifestyle recommendations, dietary guidance, and seasonal detoxification practices tailored to individual needs. Initial 90-minute appointments establish wellness goals while follow-ups monitor progress and adjust treatment plans.
Vedic Astrology
Comprehensive astrological readings analyze planetary positions at birth to reveal life patterns and karmic influences. Services include full natal chart analysis, yearly forecasts, relationship compatibility assessments, and relocation guidance using astrocartography mapping techniques for personal and professional decision-making.
Massage Therapy
Customized massage sessions integrate Swedish, deep tissue, and neuromuscular techniques with acupressure and sound therapy. Treatments address specific concerns like sports recovery, stress relief, or chronic pain using medicated oils and tuning forks for enhanced therapeutic effects during 45-120 minute sessions.
Meditation Instruction
Private meditation sessions teach foundational practices including breath awareness, loving-kindness techniques, and insight meditation. Initial sessions establish proper posture and concentration methods while follow-ups develop advanced mindfulness practices for stress reduction and spiritual growth in personalized 40-60 minute sessions.

Nancys Thai massage is my go to for stress management, tension relief and body wellness. Her awareness of body mechanics coupled with her years of experience as a yoga instructor make Thai massage an incredibly rewarding experience while effectively treating any body issue that I may have. Her office is warm and inviting. I highly recommend.

Nancy is an absolute god send! She has forever changed my life with her beautiful soul and incredible talent of massage! I get Thai massages as well as deep tissue from her and there is nothing else that has ever compared! I'm a cosmetologist so long hours are hard on my body, but Nancy makes each day so much easier! I would recommend her for all your bodywork needs! The environment is so peaceful and welcoming! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Nancy!

IF you've never tried THAI massage...run to see Nancy @ Saffron Sun! I've had a few Thai massages from Nancy and they are the best! It's great to get a massage while your body is able to be in assisted in motion. Her space is very welcoming and calming. The time will fly, you will feel renewed, relaxed...it's the BEST ever! Try it, you will want more :0 and more ;) So great to have a experienced Thai massage and Ayurvedic practitioner in the Flathead Valley!
