To allow a full range of movement and flow during stretching, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage treatment is performed on a mat laid on the floor, similar to Thai massage.
Each treatment is adjusted to suit clients' needs, whether that is relaxing, energising, soothing, deep or remedial.
The treatment is initiated with a sequence to warm up the body, which allows the session to become a moving meditation.
During the treatment, a mixture of oil and ayurvedic herb - Acorus calamus - in the form of powder, is applied to the skin.
Ground Acorus calamus, a root of wetland plant from the sweet flag family, stimulates the flow of blood, which not only helps to further warm up the muscles but also supports the body’s detoxing processes as well as giving a pleasant, warm, exfoliating feeling.
Hi, I'm Joanna
(they/them)
I'm a somatic coach, massage therapist, bodyworker, an intuitive healer,
a grounded psychic + pleasure & joy activist.
A queer & gender expansive Earth fairy, neurodivergent (aka neuro-expansive), tender & brave, small & strong. Projector in human design, obsessed with embodiment & astrology. Often called 'a little beam of light'.
In a world that's constantly on the run, I'm an advocate for practising close communication with your body and cultivating embodied self-awareness.
I'm on a mission to make the world a softer, kinder, more self-connected, consciously embodied & community-oriented place and I encourage this through my offerings.
I’m here to help you tap into the innate wisdom of your body you may have lost within the demands of the busy urban life. The world doesn't need more burnt-out, disconnected people, it needs you FULL.
I'm here to help you fill up your cup. And more so - to help you master doing it well yourself!
Changing the world, bit by bit, angels! ✌🏻
