Thai Massage
Paulina has discovered her passion for
massage whilst in Chiang Mai, Thailand,
where she completed a Thai Massage
course in Lanna tradition. The massage
follows designated energy lines (Sen)
in the body and by applying pressure
to them helps to release blocked
energy and tensions. The body is also
stretched and manipulated into various
yoga positions. It is a deeply relaxing
massage and one of my favourites to
perform and receive!
Classic (Swedish) Massage
Classic treatment that combines technical strokes, motions and pressures to the direction of the flow of blood returning into the heart. A variety of kneading, friction and vibrating motions are used to bring the individual a feeling of invigoration and relaxation. Full body treatment or specified areas.
Deep Tissue
A specific type of massage therapy that concentrates on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body. By using deep finger pressure and slow, firm strokes, deep tissue massage is used to treat a variety of physical ailments. Might hurt a little.
Ayurvedic Abyangha
Abhyanga is an ancient Indian Ayurvedic oil massage therapy for healing and detoxifying body, mind and spirit. A variety of Ayurvedic techniques is applied to work along the energy channels of the body in a synchronized manner to restore the flow of vital energy. Ayurvedic massage is not as much a muscle work but the approach is more cellular. Warm oils deeply penetrate cells and release physical, mental and spiritual toxins, hence it is a detoxifying as well as healing therapy. It feels really lovely.
Hawaian Lomi Lomi
To understand what is Lomi Lomi massage is to have an understanding of the Hawaiian philosophy called Huna, and how the philosophies of Huna relate to bodywork and healing. A fundamental assumption of Huna is that everything seeks harmony and everything seeks love. When harmony is lacking the effect is pain physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Illness is a state of tension, which leads to resistance which blocks energy movement.Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing. On the physical level, through Lomi Lomi stress and tension are relieved, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated. The massage is performed on full body using not only hands but also forearms. It comes in the rhytm of the music and might feel as gentle waves touching you lovingly.
