  • 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

  • Andrea

    I had my first Ayurvedic massage with Jacqueline and was deeply moved by the experience. The massage had a proud effect on me and took me by surprise! Jacqueline’s care absolutely shines through. I can’t tell you how great the treatment was and how it gave me the strength to deal with something I needed to address. I was put at ease from the minute I arrived and Jacqueline explained clearly what would happen. The massage was pitched perfectly with just the right amount of varying pressure where it was needed. The physicality of the treatment was powerful and pitched just right. I felt both relaxed and grounded when we finished and a complete connection with Jacqueline. The emotional response was unexpected although we’d talked about this at the start I hadn’t really expected it to affect me. The method is spectacular and I’ve never had such a moving experience. A big thank you Jacqueline.

    An Ayurvedic massage with Despina is a wonderful way to stretch and release the body whilst letting the mind gently unwind. Using a combination of oil work, mobilisations and passive stretches Despina encourages the body to let go of tension. I felt jelly-like, calm and wonderful after my treatment. I highly recommend her – give it a go!

    1.5 hours with Despina and I am the most released as I have been in 10 years! Despina has an intuitive touch, she knows when to increase pressure, when to release, when to hold the joint and when to move it. She finds all the knots, all the clanks, all the tension and helps you to let it go. It’s unlike any other massage I’ve had before because she works with you to move and relax with your breath. Despina creates a safe and grounding environment which helps you to relax in fullness and open to the experience. I will definitely be back. Thank you Despina.
