  • 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…

Customer testimonials

  • Eimear

    Jacqueline is a very gifted massage therapist, she has such a caring energy, I instantly felt welcomed and at ease. She tailored the experience to make sure it would serve me best. I felt nurtured and it helped me to connect more with my body (both physically and emotionally). I felt rejuvenated afterwards and still very relaxed…. I floated all the way home feeling a great sense of contentment
  • Jaroslava Tomanova, University Student 

    Great experience! I attended the Head, neck and face workshop and definitely would recommend it. It made me very excited to give more massages to my friends and family and learn more. I have no previous experience with learning massage technique (apart from nice looking youtube videos). I think Despina is a great teacher. The 4 hour workshop was well structured and planned, we had time to receive some theoretical knowledge, watch her demonstrate the technique, practice on each other and share our reflections and feedback at the end of the session. Very impressive planning I think! She brought a printed guide with photos and instructions for everyone – which I loved (you can take your own notes or write directly in the guide). She brought shared lunch so we had time to socialize, eat and get to know each other little bit more. I really liked her open approach to everyone’s own techniques, tastes and needs. Overall fantastic experience.”

    I had a 120 minute AYM massage with Jacqueline. Highly recommend not just her as a therapist but allowing her to work her magic over that extended time frame. She ensured I was comfortable at every stage and I felt truly held, cared for and nurtured. I experienced some new stretches I didn’t realise my body needed and my body felt  better than it has in years.
