  • 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…

    I have a number of longstanding impairments and often experience pain. For this reason I have found Despina’s treatments extremely beneficial. Despina has an amazing touch and each session she knows exactly which part needs the most attention, as if by intuition. After my appointments with her, I not only feel very relaxed and refreshed, but also acquire flexibility and lightness devoid of any pain. Despina’s kind, friendly and gentle nature always brings joy to the treatment room and it is always a delight to see her! Thank you Despina x

    Jacqueline (Ayurvedic Yoga Massage) sincerely gives the most incredible massages I’ve ever experienced. I suffered for a long time with inability to trust someone I didn’t know too well touching my body, or feel fully comfortable with that- but she creates such a safe and nurturing space. I always feel really held by her. Also the relaxation her touch gives the body is not possible to put into words!! She always checks in about pressure and can give great deep massage to unlock knots or go into gentle touch. I always leave feeling really pampered. She has really healing energy and healing hands and always ensures I feel contained in the space. Thanks Jacqueline!

    Despina, Just wanted to let you know I’ve been getting some amazing feedback from people saying it’s the best they’ve ever felt in their body and that they never experienced anything like it before! I haven’t properly been charging yet, though people have been giving me money even when I haven’t asked for it, but I do feel ready to begin charging now. Anyway I was massaging a pal from my reflexology course last night and she said she wants to rebook in 2 weeks as a paying client and to have regular treatments with me, I’m over the moon, this is such a big milestone for me. Thank you so so much for everything, you have changed my life
