Paa's journey began in 1996 as a Massage Therapist at Phuket Island Spa, Phuket View Spa, and Tarn Tara Spa in Phuket. From 2001 to 2008, she was the Founder and Operator of The Raya Spa in Phuket, managing spa services for leading hotels and resorts across Phuket and Krabi, including the prestigious Phulay Beach Resort and The Tubkaak Boutique Resort Krabi.

In 2009, Paa continued her passion for wellness by founding Ima Asian Spa in Nelson, New Zealand, creating a space where Eastern traditions meet heartfelt care.

Paa's career has been full of unforgettable moments, but one of the most profound was surviving the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 alongside her team in Phuket and Krabi ? an experience that shaped her resilient and compassionate spirit.

Today, Paa continues to pour her expertise, healing energy, and love into every part of Ima Asian Spa.
