Every therapist on our team is trained in authentic Thai technique, either in Thailand or under Thai-certified practitioners, and professionally credentialed in the additional modalities we offer. We match each client to the right therapist based on pressure, preferences, and areas of focus. Returning clients can request a specific therapist at booking.

Our men's studio has been designed around three priorities: privacy, discretion, and results.
Every session takes place in a private, enclosed treatment room. We offer two distinct environments — the Executive Suite for focused solo work, and the Couple's Escape Suite for shared sessions.
Clean materials, controlled lighting, and a masculine, minimal design create a space that feels separate from the pace of the city, even in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
We practice Thai massage as it was taught: with patience, precision, and no shortcuts.
At the same time, we adapt every session to the body in front of us. Desk tension, travel fatigue, and physical training all require different approaches. Our therapists are trained across multiple techniques to respond in real time.
The result is work that stays true to the tradition while meeting the realities of life in New York.
Modern, private, and acoustically designed. A departure from the typical NYC spa — built specifically for men.
Trained at the source in Thailand and credentialed across modern recovery modalities. Authentic technique, delivered with depth and precision.
Led by Sassy — a New York Licensed Massage Therapist and NCBTMB-approved CE provider, trained at Wat Po and the Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai.
No shared spaces, no waiting-room crowds. Every session takes place in its own enclosed, discreet treatment room.
Pressure, pace, and focus adjusted in real time — every session built around the body in front of us.

"I had an excellent massage here from Faye — equal parts relaxing and rejuvenating! There was plenty of water available. The space is cozy and clean with the perfect amount of sunlight and ambient music. I also met Sasy who was very kind and ensured I had a great experience. And if you're in the area — what a beautiful escape from the bustling Bryant Park area. Looking forward to my next visit!"
★★★★★
"We did a couples Thai massage class with Sasighan and it was an amazing experience! She is professional and enthusiastic as a teacher — the class was unique, fun, and we learned a lot while basically getting a massage too. A wonderful way to celebrate my wife's birthday. I'd highly recommend it to anyone!"
★★★★★
"I was gifted a 60-min deep tissue massage here and am so thankful. The ladies are so kind and welcoming — I felt comfortable the instant I walked through the door. The massage was TRULY deep tissue (which I feel is rare!) and incorporated traditional stretching. The therapist was very knowledgeable. Can't wait to be back!"
