  • 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

  • Maija Kansanajo

    I have had several kinds of body treatments including ayurvedic massage before Despina’s. I am a reflexologist and find it very “educational” to have a treatment myself, I always learn a lot. Some people just have good hands and the ability to listen to the body and the mind they are working with, and the ability to create a relaxing atmosphere. Somehow I felt that Despina’s treatment went beyond the physical body. Of course my tight muscles were more relaxed, but also a great amount of stress and tiredness was released during the treatment. So, after a treatment allow yourself time to rest or sleep, I slept 12 hours like a baby after my first treatment.

    This massage was amazing! I had quite a bit of pain following a car accident which eased considerably after this massage. The whole experience very was relaxing – a real antidote to life stresses. Thank you!

    The Ayurvedic treatments I have received from the lovely Nora have been both relaxing and healing. The massage element of the treatment is relaxing and soothing whilst the deep tissue and pressure point therapy works deep into the muscles and fibres that are holding stress and injury. I have had many different treatments and massages over time but the Ayurvedic approach I find really natural and complete.

    Nora has a very professional attitude and communicates well during the treatment to establish if the depth of the work is suitable and assuring that you are comfortable and at ease for the whole time. She has remarkable strength for such a slight person and is capable of providing the level of treatment to suit every body type.

    I would thoroughly recommend a Ayurvedic treatment with Nora as a relaxing massage as part of your general health and well-being strategy or as a treatment for any specific injury or aches and pains. Nora’s treatments have definitely helped me and I am sure they will help you…
