  • How much Ayurvedic Yoga Massage do you need?

    By Despina Psarra • 02/02/2025
    Clients often ask me how much AYM is too much – really, there is no maximum of how much would be beneficial! Unless you’ve been on a yoga retreat for the past couple of months, in which case, maybe you’re already *really* close to your optimal health. For most of us, that just doesn’t tend…

    I’ve been working with Janet Mantle from Basement 55 Therapies for around 6 weeks now & her partnership Age UK Wirral to improve my range of shoulder movement. After 30 years of weight training also ex-Army & RMR, as well as manual work in employment my shoulder flexibility had reached a point where it was affecting my training & normal functional movements in my daily life. I can highly recommend her massage, either as I have used, to start to regain my flexibility/movement in my shoulders or as a relaxing hour for yourself as part of your weekly health routine, mental or physical, thanks Janet.

    I have a number of longstanding impairments and often experience pain. For this reason I have found Despina’s treatments extremely beneficial. Despina has an amazing touch and each session she knows exactly which part needs the most attention, as if by intuition. After my appointments with her, I not only feel very relaxed and refreshed, but also acquire flexibility and lightness devoid of any pain. Despina’s kind, friendly and gentle nature always brings joy to the treatment room and it is always a delight to see her! Thank you Despina x

    As a keen road runner and part-time body pump instructor, I have slight imbalances in my strength and flexibility and am often sore after training. I have had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Marta’s massage on many occasions now and Marta always puts me at ease. She creates a very relaxing, spa-like atmosphere considering all senses. I look forward to absolutely switching off from the crazy outside noise. Marta always adapts her massage to meet my specific needs, massage focus is client-based and has varied every session. Marta uses traditional massage alongside stretches to optimise the effect on the muscles. I genuinely feel so relaxed and stretched after massage that I have once said “I feel like I’m floating.” Marta also has a wide range of wholistic knowledge about essential oils and importance of diet and hydration. This means she continues to positively influence my mind and body even after her amazing massage. So, if you’re days fly by at 100mph and you have any muscle aches consider a massage session with Marta. It’s an experience like no other!
