Meet Kritti — Founder,
Licensed Massage Therapist, Former Nurse
Kritti, also known as Krittiyanee, is a former registered nurse, marathon runner, New York State Licensed Massage Therapist, and founder of Sukho Thai Healing.
Her medical training shapes the way she approaches every session. She looks closely at posture, movement, and compensation patterns to understand where discomfort begins, which may be different from where it is felt. She combines this clinical perspective with traditional Thai healing techniques, using pressure, breath, and thoughtful, unhurried attention.
In addition to traditional Thai massage, the studio offers manual therapy, Thai Medical massage, myofascial release, cupping, Swedish massage, prenatal massage, deep tissue massage, foot reflexology, and sound healing.
Kritti’s Story
Born and raised in Thailand,
Kritti felt drawn to healing from an early age. She earned a Bachelor of Nursing degree and began her career in hospital medicine, where she developed a strong clinical foundation and a deep understanding of the body’s ability to heal.
After years in a demanding hospital environment, she began searching for a more holistic approach to care. This journey brought her back to the healing traditions she had grown up with in Thailand.
As a lifelong runner, Kritti understands firsthand how movement can transform both the body and mind. Through running and mindfulness, she reconnected with her purpose and chose to dedicate her work to natural healing through therapeutic bodywork.
Trained at the Source: Wat Po, ITM, and Beyond
Kritti holds advanced certifications in Traditional Thai Yoga Massage from Wat Po Medical School and ITM International Training Massage School in Thailand. Her training at these respected institutions gave her a strong foundation in authentic Thai healing traditions.
She brought this knowledge to New York and founded Sukho Thai Healing in the NoMad and Flatiron neighborhood with a simple vision: to create a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of Manhattan where New Yorkers could find relief from chronic pain, stress, and the demands of city life.
Kritti later completed her Diploma in Massage Therapy at Cortiva Institute in New Jersey and earned her New York State Massage Therapy License. Her work is focused on therapeutic care and is tailored to each client’s needs. She is certified in medical massage, prenatal and postnatal massage, and Thai medical massage. Many clients come to her with a specific concern, such as discomfort from long hours at a desk, chronic pain, neck and shoulder tension, or tight hips.
Sound Healing and a Space Designed to Restore
Kritti is a certified Vibrational Sound Therapy practitioner through the Vibrational Sound Association. She is trained to use Tibetan singing bowls during private sessions. When placed on and around the body, the bowls create gentle vibrations that can be felt as well as heard. These vibrations encourage the nervous system to settle and the breath to slow.
Sound healing can be especially helpful for clients who carry stress that may not be fully relieved through bodywork alone. It is available as its own session or may be added to a massage.
Kritti is also a certified floral designer through The New York Botanical Garden and creates the studio’s seasonal arrangements herself. The
