Kingsley Ogedengbe is of Nigerian parentage and was born and raised in SE London, England. He is the founding creator of Chavutti-Thai^TM massage and the Federation of Chavutti-Thai^TM Massage Practitioners. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field of health and fitness and is keen to share this with others.

As an athlete, he became 400-meter London champion, competing all over Europe and for a short time lived in Paris, France. His promising career was cut short due to reoccurring injuries. He then decided to change and moved his attention into personal training.

As a personal trainer he worked in gyms in and around London successfully building a devoted clientele and establishing himself as one of UK's top personal trainers. He was also quick to incorporate the disciplines of Pilates, which took him to Toronto, Canada

Not one for resting on his laurels, Kingsley decided to look at incorporating massage into his portfolio. He attended numerous courses, such as Swedish, Deep tissue, and Sports massage. They helped in providing a foundation in massage therapy, however he wanted to learn more. Inspiration came from reading an article on a Southern Indian massage called Chavutti Thirumal and Thai massage in Thailand. At the time courses were few and far between in London, he realised he had to go to India and Thailand in order to learn.

It was in Kerela, Southern India, Kingsley first experienced Chavutti Thirumal, he knew straight away that this was something special which had to be learnt and shared. He returned back to London to practice further with Chavutti Thirumal practitioners. His next trip was to take him to Thailand. He enrolled in Thailand's most famous school of massage Wat Po, Bangkok, and studied Traditional Thai massage. While practicing Thai he realised he could make a connection between Chavutti and Thai. He began to practice the two forms together on a beach in Thailand, and very quickly he became known as the Chavutti-ThaiTM man. He returned back to London to officially set up Chavutti-ThaiTM as a recognised and separate form of bodywork massage.

"I am passionate about my work, and every massage treatment has meaning, I am a bodyworker and have developed an ear to listen to peoples bodies. People are always amazed how I know what's going on. I combine my strength, power and flexibility with gentleness to give an unforgettable treatment. They call me the Sole man with feet from heaven I am truly blessed."

Kingsley now teaches a select few students on the art of Chavutti-ThaiTM massage, he is keen to preserve the integrity of this form of bodywork. He believes Chavutti-ThaiTM is the next level and only a few are really capable of making that leap forward.

"Its deep, so very deep, you are working on so many levels to stimulate healing within others, this is why it's so special".
