We just had to share!

I’m thrilled to share that starting Thursday, June 5, 2025, all appointments will take place at my new studio location:

529 14th Street NW
Washington, DC 20045
(National Press Building)

The new space is right in the heart of downtown D.C.—just steps from the White House and Metro Center! It’s located in the historic National Press Building, a longtime hub for journalists and storytellers. And now… a space for rest, healing, and deep-tissue relief.

If you already have an appointment booked on or after June 5, no need to do anything—it’ll automatically be held at the new location. I’ll meet you in the lobby and guide you from there.

Also, a quick reminder: massage therapy may be reimbursable through your FSA, HSA, or HRA with (or without) a Letter of Medical Necessity. Let me know if you need a receipt or have any questions about how to submit your sessions.

Thank you so much for your continued support. I can’t wait to welcome you to the new studio!

Warmly,
Son Thach

A quick spring update from Kai Studio!

You can use your FSA, HSA, or HRA for massage therapy:

Many clients don’t realize this, but if your plan allows it, you can either use your FSA/HSA/HRA card directly at the time of your session, or submit your receipt for reimbursement. I include all the necessary CPT codes on my receipts for insurance purposes—no extra documentation is needed. This can save you an average of 20–30% or more, depending on your tax bracket, so it’s worth checking with your provider if you’re eligible.

Out of Office Dates:
I’ll be away from the studio and unavailable for appointments during these times:

- April 14 – April 30
- May 18 – May 31

If you’d like to schedule a session before or after these dates, I recommend booking early to hold your preferred time.

Wishing you a healthy, balanced spring—and looking forward to seeing you soon.

Can you believe it? Fall is here already!

It has been a little over 4 months since we have gotten back into our NEW routine(with a few adjustments). Kai Studio has had ZERO Covid-19 reports from staff or clients who have had any symptoms and we want to thank everyone for following the guidelines for keeping each other safe.

We also want to make sure that you don't forget about your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) that you may still need to use. Many people do not realize they can use HSA/FSA for therapeutic massage (sometimes you may need doctor's notes). Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions and concerns.

Stay Safe Everyone!!!
