Mission
Specialized training and clean formulation with a holistic approach.
Philosophy
Thaiyurveda exists on the belief that mind, body, heart, and energy are never separate — a philosophy rooted in Ayurveda and over 30 years in the healing arts. Whether I'm training a spa team or formulating a product, the goal is the same: real technique and clean formulation that support the whole person, not just the symptom in front of us.
Herbal Body Products
To formulate botanical body care with a short, honest ingredient list — pure essential oils and time-tested herbs, nothing synthetic, nothing you can't pronounce. Every product is built from the same herbal knowledge used in professional treatment rooms, so what's in the bottle does what it says.
Training
To give spa therapists more than technique — real body mechanics, herbal knowledge, and an understanding of the whole person, so their work supports lasting results and long, sustainable careers. Training becomes something a property owns permanently, delivered by their own team, long after I've left the building.

Camille Western
Founder, Formulator, and Trainer of Thaiyurveda
​
I've spent over 30 years in the healing arts — as a Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and student of Ayurveda for more than 25 years. My path started long before any of those titles, though: with my grandmother and the plant medicine that was simply part of everyday life growing up.
Before massage, I worked in cosmetology, television makeup, fashion design, and theater costume work — training that shaped how I see the body: as something expressive, layered, and deeply connected to how a person feels.
I became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 1994, and a chance encounter with homeopathy at a conference in 1996 pulled me further into the world of plant-based healing.
A single Thai massage changed the direction of my work entirely. It sent me to Thailand, where I became an Advanced Thai Massage Instructor with over 700 hours of study. I came home and started teaching.
Along the way, I added training in Yoga, Nutrition, CranioSacral Therapy and Lymphatic Massage, worked as a spa director in Mexico, and eventually settled in Carmel-by-the-Sea, where I founded Thaiyurveda in 2005.
​
Everything I do — training therapists, formulating products, working on the table — comes back to one belief: mind, body, heart, and energy are never separate.
I've trained over 1,000 massage therapists and taught herbal compress, Thai massage, and hot stone technique at spas across the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean, including The Ritz-Carlton, Pebble Beach, Ventana, Bernardus, Lake Austin, JW Marriott, and Kabuki Springs & Spa. I also work as a massage therapist for a private wellness center at Pebble Beach.
Thaiyurveda is where all of it lives — three decades of technique, plant knowledge, and a belief that real care means treating the whole person.
Contact me to bring specialized training, formulation, and wellness experiences to your property—a partnership built on proven techniques, clean products, and results worth returning for.
