About Elena Nastaca - Founder of the concept

Elena Nastacă is the founder of the Terapia Thai concept and one of the driving forces behind Asian therapies and massage education in western Romania.

With over 15 years of experience in health, wellness and professional development, Elena has dedicated her work to the study of manual therapies, training therapists, and developing work standards that combine the authenticity of Asian traditions with the requirements of modern European practice.

After 8 years spent in the health insurance industry, she chose to follow her passion for natural therapies and to contribute directly to people’s wellbeing through non-invasive methods, based on the therapeutic power of touch and respect for the human body.

In 2015 she founded Terapia Thai, a project built out of a desire to bring to Romania the authentic training and practice standards found in the traditional schools of Thailand.

Throughout her career

• She has trained over 1,000 students.
• She has organized over 240 course series.
• She has contributed to the professional development of dozens of therapists now working in Romania and abroad.
• She has championed the promotion of authentic Asian therapies and wellness education grounded in safety, professionalism and results.

A good therapist shouldn’t just know the techniques. They must understand the human body, work safely, respect the client, and achieve results without sacrificing their own health.

– Elena Nastacă’s professional philosophy

This vision underlies all the courses and protocols developed within Terapia Thai.

For Elena, massage is more than a profession. It’s a way for people to reconnect with their own body, rediscover their balance, and contribute to the health of those around them.

Through every course organized, every therapist trained and every client helped, her mission remains the same: to bring more health, balance and wellbeing into people’s lives.
