Our Team
“YAYA” completed her massage therapist training at Victory Career College, Los Angeles, in May 2014. In June 2014 she obtained her California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) certification – CMT certificate number 57647.
Yaya received superb reviews while working as a Massage Therapist in spas in Laguna Beach, Solana Beach, La Jolla and San Diego.
In October 2017 she opened Gaslamp Thai Massage Therapy with her husband, Nash.
Yaya also graduated from Rajabhat Culinary School in Ubon-Ratchathani, Thailand, and is a certified chef.
Husband Nash is Co-Owner and Business Manager of Gaslamp Thai Massage Therapy, LLC.
A US military veteran, he retired from the Aerospace Industry in September 2017 after 27 years, and he and Yaya started this business enterprise.
A San Diego area native, Nash grew up in Alpine (about 35 miles inland) but has lived in many different places in the US and around the world including Philadelphia, PA, Dutch Harbor, AK, West Palm Beach, FL, Iceland, Japan, Bahrain, Brunei, Singapore and Niger.
Perfectly pleasant in public, but sometimes secretly sullen. Pointlessly literate. A social and fiscal conservative who believes that those of us with more should be doing more for those of us with less. Pleased to meet you.

Ms. NOK owns a portion of the largest and busiest Thai Massage businesses in the area. How lucky we are that she’s available in our shop much of the time.

Massage is a powerful tool to help you manage your well-being whether you have a specific health condition or are just looking for an effective and safe stress reliever.
Don’t be afraid to ask your massage therapist such questions as:
- Are you licensed, certified or registered?
- What is your training and experience?
- How many massage therapy sessions do you think I’ll need?
- What’s the cost, and is it covered by health insurance?
