Why the therapeutic approach is important
We live in a fragmented world.
By nature, we are relational beings, but in today's society the culture of individualism predominates. We isolate ourselves, we disconnect from our environment and from our own essence. As a consequence:
We do not fully express our vitality.
We have lost tune with nature and the world around us.
We lack the community support that has always been key to our evolution.
This emptiness leaves us in a constant struggle with life, affecting not only our mind, but also our body. And in this scenario, touch is more than a technique: it is a bridge back to connection and healing.
Global Thai Therapy TGT® responds to this need with a holistic therapeutic approach. Through Thai massage techniques, it not only releases tension and soothes the body, but also restores emotional and spiritual balance, allowing us to feel part of something bigger: ourselves, others and life.
The global potential of healing: body, mind and emotions
The body responds quantum to healing, where thoughts and emotions can trigger symptoms and disease, and vice versa. We use biodescodification and neurosciences to study these relationships and, through holistic medicine and the power of intention, help to heal.
1. Mind-Body Interconnection:
Through Biodescodification we know that unresolved emotions and traumas can manifest as physical illnesses. Neurosciences are demonstrating these relationships and biologically describe how emotional states influence the immune response and physical health.
Holistic Medicine:
Our goal is to perform an integral treatment, which considers the patient as a whole, including physical, emotional and spiritual aspects.
3. The Power of Intention
We will put an intention in our treatments, which together with a visualization of the physical and energetic body, will help us to reprogram the body towards the recovery of health and wellness, facilitating the release of underlying emotions and programs.
There are no longer safe spaces
Today, it takes a lot of courage to face life. Expectations are impossible to meet and everything has an agenda. We are surrounded by suffering.
As a result:
We are constantly on alert.
We lack the ability to act with clarity and decisiveness.
We have difficulty managing our emotions
These are symptoms of a highly dysregulated nervous system, which is the root cause of many diseases.
One of the main goals of TGT® is to create opportunities for meaningful rest and self-care. TGT® helps regulate the nervous system, providing a safe space for healing and holistic wellness.

Testimonials from other courses
Their faces speak for themselves
"Not only did my flexibility increase, but also, my loving and kind side is coming out...after training I went to the post office and people were arguing, I was stressed and there was a lot of anger, frustration and negativity...I just felt like I wanted to offer a massage to everyone. This afternoon I felt the same thing on the subway, I guess giving massages is therapeutic not only for the receiver but also for the giver."

"What an amazing experience this training has been! If you're wondering if it's worth the time and money, yes it is! I left thinking that this will definitely be my next path.

About me
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.
