Customer testimonials

Francesco

Alessio was simply outstanding. His massage was so relaxing that I felt like a different person afterwards. He took notes of all of my conditions before starting as I was experiencing some pain in my back, but after his massage most of my pain was relieved for days. He also gave me some useful tips and detailedly explained what he would do and what techniques he would use. His attention for details was just super. You could see how passionate he is for what he does and how much he cares to achieve a great and authentic performance. Would recommend Alessio 100%.

During my time practicing Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore I received two massages from Despina. I can honestly say this was the best body work I have ever experienced! It was clear to me that Despina truly cares about the standard of massage she provides. Prepare to be amazed!

I recently completed the Level 1-2 training in Ayurvedic Yoga Massage with Despina and her team. I can honestly say it was an incredible experience. Despina has a very beautiful teaching style and made the group feel relaxed and acknowledged. The pace of learning was great. The lunches provided were soooo good! I would highly recommend this training for anyone interested in learning this powerful massage method. I will be signing up for further levels of training for sure! Thank you to all who made it happen.
