About Roni Gilboa
Roni Gilboa is a Shiatsu and Thai massage therapist who has added OsteoThai and fascia work to her practice. Between 2007 and 2016 she worked at the Yuri Shtern Holistic Care Center for People Dealing with Cancer in Jerusalem, as a therapist and as managing director of the charity, and developed the centre's training programme for therapists of various disciplines. Her teaching draws on more than 20 years of treating cancer patients, their caregivers and people living with trauma, and of teaching massage therapists who work in these settings. From this work she developed Touch Therapies, a hybrid method that adjusts traditional Thai massage, Shiatsu and fascia manipulation to palliative care, trauma, chronic pain and anxiety, shaped by the insights of teachers, students and patients. At Sunshine Massage School in Chiang Mai she teaches workshops on massage for oncology and palliative care and on trauma-informed massage.
