About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to combine wisdom with humor,adventure with stability and the sacred with the obscene.

ABOUT ME

My name is Antoine,and I am ,first of all, a classical singer. However, in 2003, after realizing I was never going to "make it" as a singer, I studied Traditional Thai Massage for three months. After being kicked out of my apartment, I decided to go to Thailand to continue my massage study for two months. Two months turned into two years,and becoming a massage therapist turned into becoming a well known voice teacher in Chiang Mai and performing all over SE Asia.

I returned to San Francisco 2005 and managed to do both: singing and massage, but I missed Thailand. So I returned to Thailand in 2008, and have been living there for almost 4 years now. I also love oracles and have been practicing Tarot since 1989 and Astrology since 1992. In 1990, I became Certified by Connolly University to teach Tarot and Numerology.

Right now, I am expanding my bodywork practice into the realm of structural integration. I am currently working with a rolfer who has developed a form of energetic or "hands off" rolfing called DEMA Structural Integration(DEMA stands for Direct Electro-Magnetic Approach). I'm currently completing my first level of Certification.

Enough about me;tell me something about you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sunrise in Varanasi over the Ganges river is one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced.

Watching participants of the Wai Kroo celebration in Thailand, all of whom have Thai Buddhist tattoos, go into trance.

Traveling the eastern coast of Australia was amazing.

Arunachaleswar Temple in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu is one of the most beautiful and formidable examples of Southern Indian temple architecture.

I was in Singapore for five weeks and did NO shopping!
