Welcome!
Thai Massage and Thai Medicine Training
Peace Laboratory is more than a school: it is a movement dedicated to the diffusion of Thai massage and Thai medicine, founded by professionals passionate about holistic wellness.
Our mission is clear: to share traditional care and self-care tools with the modern world, through Thai Global Therapy TGT®, training body therapists in a deep and transformative learning process.

At Peace Lab, touch and presence are more than techniques: they are paths to peace and connection with our essence.
Global Thai Therapy : the evolution of Thai massage.
Global Thai® Therapy was born as an evolution of traditional Thai massage, fusing the ancient wisdom of Traditional Thai Medicine with a modern vision of the body and life. Its integral approach understands the human being as a system in constant balance, where body, mind and emotions interact in a dynamic energetic flow.
Inspired by tradition and supported by contemporary knowledge in anatomy and physiology, Global Thai® Therapy facilitates the harmonization of activation and relaxation cycles (sympathicotonia and vagotonia), promoting a natural state of balance and well-being.
Each therapist develops his or her own style. We do not teach a rigid method, but tools that allow each student to find their own therapeutic voice, adapting the massage to their intuition and sensitivity.
Our principles are applied in multiple areas: students integrate these techniques in traditional Thai massage, stretcher therapy, yoga classes and body awareness workshops, optimizing ergonomics, sensitivity and depth in their treatments.
More than a massage, a path to mastery of the body and touch.
Our values
Tradition
Our Thai massage school prides itself on its roots in Thai lineages, emphasizing the historical and cultural importance of traditional massage. We want to honor the authentic practices passed down through generations in Thai culture, while maintaining a strong focus on respecting and preserving the original techniques. We are honored to have studied with some of the great living masters of Thai.
Modernity
Our school stands out for its contemporary approach, integrating current scientific knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathology and neuroscience into the teaching of massage, offering a curriculum that conforms to modern wellness practices and industry standards, as well as utilizing innovative methodologies and resources to enhance learning.
Community
We build an inclusive community where different people come together to learn and evolve together. We promote connections between students and professionals, fostering collaborative and supportive relationships that enrich the educational environment. We create events, workshops and outreach programs, aiming to spread and raise awareness about the benefits of Thai massage and holistic health.
Who we are
Alejandro Candela
Thai Massage and Yoga Instructor - Therapist - Peace Lab Founder
My passion for bodywork therapy is my daily driving force. I dedicate my life to caring for people, helping them reconnect with their body, find balance and cultivate deep peace of mind and spirit.
I have always been fascinated by the connection between philosophy, movement and the human body. This interest has led me to explore a wide variety of physical and energetic disciplines: martial arts, yoga, massage, tantra, medicine and traditional therapies. I am also a musician and photographer, and I find that these artistic expressions deeply enrich my therapeutic approach.
I am a passionate student and an eternal learner of Thai massage and medicine, with more than 1000 hours of training under the guidance of renowned masters in Thailand and Europe. I am certified as an international instructor by Thai Healing Alliance International, the most prestigious professional network in the world of Thai massage.
My medical studies at the University of Alicante, coupled with my current training in osteopathy and traditional Thai medicine, allow me to integrate traditional and modern knowledge to bring a unique and personalized approach to my treatments and teachings.
Over the years, I have found immense satisfaction in sharing what I know. I have inspired many beginners to explore their body and mind from a transformative perspective. Everything I teach has been tested and lived by me, so I firmly believe in the effectiveness of the techniques I practice and pass on.
Based in Catalonia, I offer treatments and workshops to my local community. Since 2020, I have had the honor of taking my teaching to international stages, offering courses and retreats in various parts of the world. It fills me with gratitude to see how more and more people are interested in taking care of themselves and others through these powerful healing tools.
At Peace Lab, my mission is clear: to transform lives through touch, connection and conscious care.
