Customer testimonials

  • Maija Kansanajo

    I have had several kinds of body treatments including ayurvedic massage before Despina’s. I am a reflexologist and find it very “educational” to have a treatment myself, I always learn a lot. Some people just have good hands and the ability to listen to the body and the mind they are working with, and the ability to create a relaxing atmosphere. Somehow I felt that Despina’s treatment went beyond the physical body. Of course my tight muscles were more relaxed, but also a great amount of stress and tiredness was released during the treatment. So, after a treatment allow yourself time to rest or sleep, I slept 12 hours like a baby after my first treatment.

    Joanna has exceptional knowledge and touch when giving massage. She is fully present and very intuitive and knows how to help release knots and tension in the body. I have tried many massage therapists over the years and I put Joanna up there with the best. Highly recommended.
  • Her technique is unique. It has the power to heal the physical body and allow you to release your emotional blockages. All in all its a wonderful experience for the receiver.
