My massages are tailored to the individual needs of each client and focus on either reducing stress or increasing energy.

In general, massage helps relieve stress and muscle tension, balance your emotional state, improve blood circulation to aid in muscle recovery, and assist in the elimination of toxins from your body and provide body awareness.

 

I use my techniques (Ayurvedic* or Balian*), but I also listen to the person's body – it's like a conversation. My clients inspire me, and the massage becomes a blend of their cues and what I know, creating a unique experience that evolves over the course of the treatment. In my opinion, this allows my clients to get what they need from massage. Energy or serenity and emotional balance. Well-being, “the state of feeling healthy and happy” (Cambridge dictionary) is exactly what you get during the massage. Your body and mind are in harmony. Find a moment of listening, relaxation and the opportunity to refocus and rejuvenate. The massage causes the release of “happiness hormones'.

 

Ayurvedic massage has its roots in India and invites the body to heal itself and establish balance between body, mind and spirit by massaging it with hot organic oil. As the oil penetrates the body using gentle massage techniques, it helps the body to detoxify and properly relax.

In Ayurveda – the science of life – a person's health is based on their dosha = a balance of the five elements of the world known as fire, water, earth, space and air. The three doshas: VATA (air and space); PITTA (fire and water); KAPHA (earth and water). Each person has a dominant dosha based on physical, emotional, mental and behavioral characteristics.

The focus is on balancing the energy centers (chakras) by promoting the elimination of toxins and getting the energy flowing in our bodies.
