Meet Oi

“She works like a doctor, carefully assessing the body.”

Don Juan, Google review

OI's Thaimassage is Oi's own business, trading in Ballarat since 2022. Regulars call her “Aunty Oi”, and the reviews keep coming back to the same thing: she doesn't run through a routine. She assesses, finds the knots, and gives each part of your session a purpose.

The studio is calm and personal. A warm treatment room dressed in Thai silk, a Bodhi tree panel glowing in the hallway, a comfortable lounge to settle into before you begin. It's appointment only, so there are no walk-ins and no rush.

Eight ways to feel like yourself again.

Not sure which to book? Tell Oi what's bothering you when you call or text. She'll suggest the treatment that suits, and work on what needs attention.

  1. 01

    Thai Massage

    The traditional practice Oi is known for. Assisted stretching, rhythmic pressure along the body’s energy lines, and a long, deliberate release through the back, hips and legs.

  2. 02

    Deep Tissue Massage

    Slow, firm work into the deeper layers of muscle for stubborn knots and tension you’ve been carrying for weeks.

  3. 03

    Remedial Massage

    Focused treatment on the areas that need it. Oi assesses where the tightness sits and works on exactly that, not a generic routine.

  4. 04

    Therapeutic Massage

    Hands-on care aimed at restoring comfortable movement, for bodies that feel stiff, sore or out of alignment.

  5. 05

    Relaxing Massage

    Gentler, flowing pressure with warm oils in a quiet room. For the days when you simply need to switch off.

  6. 06

    Full Body Massage

    Head to toe, unhurried. Every part of the session is put to use so you leave feeling lighter and looser all over.

  7. 07

    Foot Massage

    Thai-style foot work for tired feet and legs, whether you’re on them all day or just finished a long walk.

  8. 08

    Reflexology

    Precise pressure applied to points on the feet, a calm and restorative treatment in its own right.

Here's what a few of Oi's clients wrote, in their own words.

I had the absolute pleasure of receiving a massage from beautiful Oi, a truly exceptional and highly skilled Thai therapist. From the moment the session began, her professionalism, calm energy, and confident approach immediately put me at ease. She works like a doctor, carefully assessing the body and focusing on exactly what needs attention rather than giving a generic massage. Oi has an impressive understanding of the human body and muscle structure. Every movement felt intentional, and every pressure point was addressed with precision. It genuinely felt as though she knew every inch of my muscles and exactly how to release tension and fix underlying issues. The experience was not only deeply relaxing but also therapeutic, leaving me feeling aligned and restored. After the massage, I went home and had a hot bath, and the relaxation only deepened - I was in absolute heaven. My body felt lighter, looser, and free of the tightness I'd been carrying for weeks. If you are looking for an excellent Thai massage delivered with care, expertise, and professionalism, I highly recommend.

A truly high standard of muscular/skeletal care, professional, respectful and expertly competent in its delivery. I felt full relaxation and total body/system alignment immediately following my first treatment. A Master practitioner of an ancient practice - right here in Ballarat. Thanks OI Thai Massage, I am sincerely grateful. And, further thoughts: OI is incredible - I was in, at times, in, a state of significant discomfort, where I believe every last bit of tension held in my body was discovered and pointed out to me through her technique. Immediately after I felt completely aligned, with what seemed like absolute physical freedom of movement and energy. Thank you, it was such a good treatment, and is such a good service to be aware of within our local community. If you are reading this, do yourself a favour, and book an appointment as well. She is a very talented practitioner. Thanks again 🙏🏼

    Oi finds the tension

    She assesses as she works and focuses on the areas that need it most, rather than a one-size routine.

  4. 4

    Leave lighter

    Take it easy afterwards. As one client put it, a hot bath at home only deepens the relaxation.

The studio's front door with an Appointment Only sign and a bicycle basket sign reading OI'S THAIMASSAGE 0429 514 966

Look for the bike with the basket sign.

You'll know you're in the right place when you see the yellow bike on the porch with OI'S THAIMASSAGE on the basket.
