Massage Therapy

Eastern Bamboo Massage uses oil and different size and shape of bamboo sticks to massage stiff muscles deeply and efficiently. The rolling movements aid circulation and help remove toxins from within the superficial tissues of the body. Using tools for a massage can take considerable pressure off the therapist’s joints. They act as an extension of the therapist’s  fingers, thumbs, palms, wrists and forearms, while the therapist’s joints remain safe from overuse and injury, and also allow to work on deeper layers of the body.

It is an ideal treatment for example for women who have concerns of heavy, tired legs or tight muscles, or for men who have an active sporty lifestyle, offering a deep intense massage, alleviating muscle tension all over the body. Due to its effectiveness in aiding the lymphatic system, it can be great as part of a detox and weight loss program. Since the bamboo sticks can reach deeper muscle and connective tissue layers, it is an ideal treatment to be linked with a sports or deep tissue massage.

It has countless benefits: helps to stimulate blood circulation, improves the muscular and nervous functions, as well as the function of the lymphatic system, deeply nourishes the skin, softens tense muscles, relieves neck and shoulder pain, helps in aiding elimination of water retention, allows pain-free deep tissue work. It can also help to combat cellulite and reshape the silhouette of the body.

Using heated bamboo sticks gives the therapist the ability to penetrate the muscles more deeply, making the massage even more effective and relaxing.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine, where the therapist places special cups on specific areas of the skin for a few minutes to create suction. The vacuum suction of the devices helps alleviating pain, relieves inflammation, aids relaxation and well-being, and also acts as a deep tissue massage.

Since their first usage in the ancient times, the cups’ material has changed, but cups made of different materials are still in use, such as glass, bamboo, silicone, plastic.

Cupping can be employed as a standalone therapy or as part of a regular massage session. There are many different schools and methods to use cups. For example cups can be used for dry or wet cupping or there exist static and dynamic cup-work as well. Its benefits vary according to its usage.

Cupping therapy has countless benefits besides alleviating muscle or joint pain, helping  with swelling or aiding the work of the lymphatic system. It can also help with migraines, blood pressure issues, as well as anxiety and depression.

A Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage can be ideal for those who sit or travel/drive a lot. A quick relief from neck and back stiffness. Can be an in-between treatment for those who have regular full body massage sessions, but it can also serve as a partial body treatment for those on the go. It is a highly customizable treatment, that focuses on the upper and lower back, shoulders and neck. It can be well paired with a facial, a reflexology session or any other treatment.

A Relaxing Aromatherapy Massage can help you to unwind and relax your whole body after a long day. Aromatherapy essential oils have an added benefit to those of massage therapy. The most popular aromatherapy oils include lavender, orange, bergamot, eucalyptus and others, all with different effects to the mind, mood and body. The “aromas” are all plant-based derivatives from herbs, tree extracts, and flowers. The overall purpose of aromatherapy is meant to improve your physical and mental well-being.

Aromatherapy massage is used for a variety of different reasons, including relaxation, pain management, and improved mood. It can also help with anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea.

A Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a type of gentle, therapeutic massage that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins, waste, and excess fluids from the body. The massage uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage the flow of lymph fluid, helping to reduce fluid retention, promote detoxification, and support the immune system.

It’s often used to help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and alleviate symptoms of conditions like edema (swelling from fluid retention). It can also help with relaxation and stress relief.

The technique typically involves very light pressure and slow, deliberate movements to target specific areas where lymph nodes are located, like the neck, armpits. People often turn to lymphatic drainage massages for its potential beauty benefits too, such as improving skin tone and texture.

A Deep Tissue Massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s used to address chronic muscle tension, pain, and stiffness, often working through the muscles and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles).

Unlike a regular relaxation massage, which uses lighter pressure, deep tissue massage involves slower strokes and more intense pressure to reach the deeper muscle layers. This can help break up muscle knots (also known as adhesions), release tension, and improve blood flow. It’s commonly used for people dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or tension from poor posture or stress.

While it can be a bit intense, the goal is to provide long-term relief by helping to alleviate muscle stiffness and discomfort. After a deep tissue massage, it’s normal to feel a little sore, but the benefits often include increased mobility, reduced pain, and an overall sense of relaxation.

Recommended only for people who have regular massage therapy sessions, athletes or active individuals. Those who engage in regular physical activity or sports might use deep tissue massage to alleviate muscle soreness, tightness, and sports-related injuries. In any case one single treatment won’t solve years of chronic pain, hence we recommend to purchase a series of treatments.

A Hot Stone Massage is a type of therapeutic massage that involves the use of smooth, heated stones moved and then placed on specific points of the body, typically along the spine, back, or other areas of tension. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock, because it retains heat well. The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation.

In addition to placing the heated stones on the body, the therapist may also use the stones as tools to apply gentle pressure during the massage. The heat helps to loosen tight muscles, increase blood flow, and can provide a calming effect on the nervous system.

Hot stone massage is often recommended for people looking to relieve stress, reduce muscle tension, or soothe chronic pain. It’s particularly helpful for individuals who enjoy a relaxing massage but also want to address deeper muscle tension without using deep pressure techniques. The combination of heat and massage is incredibly soothing, making it a popular choice for relaxation and rejuvenation.

A Pregnancy Massage is a type of massage specifically designed for pregnant ladies to help alleviate some of the common discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as back pain, swelling, and muscle tension. The massage works with massage techniques that are safe for both the person receiving the massage and their baby. The massage often focuses on areas like the lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs, and can help improve circulation, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. During the massage, special pillows or supports might be used to ensure the person’s comfort and safety.

A Pregnancy Massage can be carried out on moms-to-be who are after the first trimester (around 12 weeks), as this is the time when the risk of complications is lower.

The therapist will position the little moms in a semi-reclined, side-lying position to avoid putting pressure on the abdomen.

Be sure to drink plenty of water after your massage to help flush out any toxins that may have been released during the session.

Always speak up if you’re feeling any discomfort or if you need the pressure adjusted. Comfort is key!

If you’re trying one for the first time, we would recommend checking with your doctor to make sure it’s a good option for you, especially if you have any pregnancy-related conditions or concerns.

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in the body. The idea behind reflexology is that stimulating these points can help promote healing, reduce stress, and improve overall health by balancing the body’s energy flow.

In reflexology, the therapist will focus on certain “reflex zones” that correspond to areas like your digestive system, nervous system, or even reproductive organs.

A Reflexology session is relaxing and helpful for managing stress, improving circulation, and easing discomfort, especially in areas like the feet and hands. It’s also sometimes used as a complementary therapy to help with issues like swelling, fatigue, and overall relaxation.

A Body Scrub is a type of exfoliating treatment that involves massaging a mixture of gritty, and moisturizing ingredients (like sugar, salt, or coffee) onto the skin. The purpose is to remove dead skin cells, smooth rough patches, and leave the skin feeling soft, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Body scrubs are typically applied in circular motions, and the exfoliating particles help slough off the outer layer of skin, promoting healthier skin regeneration.

Body Scrubs help with circulation, can improve skin texture, and provide a relaxing experience. After a scrub, the skin usually feels softer and more glowing, and it can make moisturizing products more effective since they’re applied to freshly exfoliated skin.

Hopi Ear Candling, or Thermo Auricular Therapy as it is also known, can be used to treat many conditions of the ear, nose and throat area such as: ear wax and glue ear, sore throats, hay fever, relaxing and calming effect in cases of stress, noises in the ears, ringing and tinnitus.
