What Does an Elephant
Symbolize?

In Thailand, elephants are sacred animals in the practice of Buddhism, and symbolize good luck, prosperity and endurance.

Sirius Health is proud to now own a beautiful Kalaga Tapestry from the Mae Sai district of Chaing Mai province depicting a parade of elephants. The elephant is probably the most common image you will see when you visit Northern Thailand.

We hope that this new tapestry will inspire our customers before and after their treatments, so we have hung this new tapestry in the Bamboo Room; our change room.

Asia's Gentle Giants

For many people, riding on the back of an elephant in Thailand is the ultimate bucket list experience. Historically, elephants were used for work and war in Thailand. Spiritually, elephants are portrayed as sacred animals in the practice of Buddhism. And culturally, elephants symbolize good luck, prosperity and endurance.

The elephant is the largest land mammal on our planet. They are secretive, and keep their distance from other animals. Most of the day is spent eating and drinking about 150 litres of water daily.

There was over 100,000 elephants in Thailand at the start of the previous century. Today there are only 3,000-4,000 elepheants left in Thailand amidst a global population that has been estimated as low as 30,000.

Fortunately, there are a small but growing number of elephant refuge centres in Thailand that are employing more sustainable methods to keep tourists, elephants and their mahouts happy.

"Nature's greatest masterpiece, an elephant; the only harmless great thing."
John Donne

Professional, knowledgeable and just the right amount of personable. Scent-free environment with a lot of extra touches that make it peaceful. Comfortable clean tops and loose pants are provided. The massage treatment delivers a lot of value for your dollar.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first session of Thai Massage at Sirius Health. Grant was very professional and put me at ease immediately. I expected to be sore the next day but I was pleasantly surprised I wasn't. My body felted stretched out. Great feeling! Highly recommend it!

It was so relaxing - not like a traditional massage where you come in, lay down, and then have to leave. It was a lengthier time, incorporated massage and tandem stretching, had aromatherapy, and was warm and quiet. I felt so good after, and I felt even better the next day. It was amazing. I would highly highly recommend everyone tries this!

Offers wonderful and authentic Thai massages. The space is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The treatment is very unique compared to a typical massage but so effective and bonus points for a foot scrub and tea. This massage was better then any of the Thai massages I had in Thailand. Thanks Grant for bringing this space to saskatoon!

I have chronic pain with my calves. Causing poor and restless sleeps. Meeting Grant at Sirius Health was a welcoming session and much needed treatment. Felt amazing after the treatment and even more flexible in my movement.
