  • 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

  • Alistair Findlay, Level 2 Therapist

    Just completed the AYM L1 / L2 training with Despina, I loved the relaxed atmosphere and her hands-on approach to teaching. It quickly became apparent that not only was Despina an amazing massage therapist, she was also a natural teacher which allowed myself and the other students to quickly gain confidence in what we were doing. The combination of demonstration, detailed handouts and frequent massage practise sessions worked brilliantly. Whether you’re a massage therapist looking to learn AYM or just looking to add to your life skills I would highly recommend attending one of Despina’s workshops or training courses.

    I will forever treasure these past five days. I arrived feeling unsure of myself and pretty low to be honest. I’ve left feeling full of purpose and connection to a group of people who are unbelievably special. I feel lucky to have worked with so many of you and am in awe of every human body…what an amazing gift to learn more about ourselves and each other. Thank you Despina and Jaqueline for teaching us

    I have had a couple of massages with Jacqueline so far and I have already booked in for more and told all my friends about her. She has so much skill and the most welcoming and reassuring nature that I fully trust her to work with the areas of my body where I am feeling most pain or tightness. This includes working into an area of old scar tissue. She really listens and helps create the best possible massage for me. I really love the whole atmosphere as well with lovely oils, heated blanket and gorgeous music. I can’t recommend her enough!
