Thai Massage & OsteoThai Bodywork Retreat
Begin 2026 from a place of deeper presence, connection and embodiment. This one-week immersion combines the art of Thai massage with the listening, structural intelligence of OsteoThai bodywork, all held within a community, set in nature, within the mountains of Andalusia.
Thai massage is a transformative experience.
A profound revolution in the way we move, interact, communicate,
and above all... the way we touch each other.
Hands-on, embodied and guided with attention, blending tradition and mindful innovation.
Start each day opening the body, settling the mind and inviting awareness.
Nestled in the Andalusian mountains, this retreat offers space to breathe deeply, move freely and explore the rhythm of nature.
Meet in the heart of a supportive group, share, practice and together create the field of change.

Oliver Chamorro holds a physiotherapy degree (2006) and has since immersed himself in Thai massage, osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, Chinese medicine, acro-yoga, and more. Since 2008, he’s been teaching globally and now offers training across Spain and Europe. Currently based in Granada, he brings a blend of serious technique, playful presence and a deep commitment to healing touch.
My journey in bodywork began with a Physiotherapy Degree in 2006, laying the foundation for an ever-evolving path. Over the years, I have explored and integrated Thai Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Chinese Medicine, AcroYoga, Yoga & Movement, and Osteopathy—each discipline shaping my approach to teaching and healing. As an eternal student, I am constantly learning and sharing the wisdom I gather.
In 2008, my passion for healing touch took me to Cuzco, Peru, where I taught massage and stretching classes for the visually impaired. Since then, Thai Massage has been my guide, leading me across borders—from Mexico to New Zealand—deepening my understanding of movement, connection, and presence.
On my path in Thai Massage, I have had the privilege of studying with renowned teachers such as Dayalu, Laurino Bertell, and KrishnaTakis. Since 2011, I have been learning and assisting David Lutt, under whom I earned my Master OsteoThai certification, taught alongside Jörg Schürpf.
In 2024, I completed my Osteopathy studies. Today, I offer workshops and training across Spain and Europe while also providing treatments during my travels and near Granada, where I live. Beyond bodywork, I am a father, continuously learning about life through the eyes of my three children—Alma, Kailu, and Munay.
In my teaching, I strive to blend technical skill with deep presence, fostering an environment of play, therapy, and growth. I believe in the power of joy, movement, and the wisdom of Stoic philosophy.
