The benefits of my massage
I know exactly what I do in massage and how to give you the results you want. And even more! This is possible thanks to 19 years of experience and 4 university degrees in this field in Europe.
First I identify the cause with soft tissue testing and then work with the whole body and mind in a holistic approach.
The 25 different massage techniques give me a wide range of possibilities to take away pain and tension in the body.
I have been meditating for 15 years and create a calm atmosphere of kindness and comfort around me. The massage room has dimmed lights, the sound of the ocean and stars on the ceiling. I believe that every person deserves a premium service and I provide it with great pleasure!

Types of Massage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
This is a pleasant massage at the level of the lymphatic system, long strokes, pumping lymph nodes from central to peripheral. Surgeons often recommend it to recover faster after plastic surgeries, liposuction. It also helps with venous stasis in the leg area. It helps to get rid of general puffiness and show the relief of your muscles, especially if you are in the process of weight loss.
Spanish Massage
These are spa techniques from Spain that are characterized by complete painlessness, deep muscle work and lots of pleasure you get from the massage. It uses a combination of forearm, finger, knuckle techniques with a medium amount of warm oil.
A deeply relaxing massage that works on all levels: nervous system, muscles, ligaments. You will feel the pleasure of warm oil, hot hands, long strokes combined with the sound of the ocean waves in the background. Wonderfully relieves stress and fills you with energy.
Deep Tissue Massage

The deepest and unexpectedly painless massage you've ever tried. Due to my 15 years of rock climbing and guitar playing, I have very strong and sensitive fingers. I feel how to massage into your comfort zone and very deeply for unforgettable muscle relaxation
Therapeuic Massage
First, I will gently test your muscles and ligaments and then tell you my findings and what we can do to free you from pain. This is a specific massage aimed at relaxing those deep muscles that are the cause of discomfort. It helps with lower back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, thoracic pain, headaches, sedentary lifestyle with office work. I work in your comfort zone, gently, asking you how you feel so you can relax and just feel the pleasant sensations come into your body

Absolutely. All treatments take place on the first floor with step-free access.
We’ll start by reviewing your health history and goals, then do a gentle assessment of your soft tissues to understand where tension and imbalances may be coming from. I’ll walk you through my massage plan and make sure it feels right for you.
Then we begin the hands-on session. You’re always welcome to adjust the pressure at any point to make sure it’s as effective and comfortable as possible. At the end, I’ll share personalized self-care tips—like stretches, core activation drills, or ergonomics—and, if you'd like, a calming meditation to help the results settle in.
