A Thai Massage is normally 1- 1½ hours long. Thai Massage is practiced on the floor covered by mat or blanket, and patient remains dressed in loose and comfortable clothing throughout the session.

During a massage, the practitioner works systematically through the entire body, literally from the tips of the toes to the crown of the head. The effect is to increase energy levels, melt away stress and tension, improve flexibility and bring balance to the body, mind and spirit. Not surprisingly for a therapy that originates from the 'Land of Smiles', this wonderful art also brings a great happiness within and a big smile without.

People who have experienced Thai Massage express feelings of absolute calm, a lightness of being, feeling taller or ironed out, more energised, alive and carefree.

I believe that Thai yoga massage is unique and powerful massage therapy, combining acupressure, gentle stretching and applied yoga. Traditional Thai massage is a relaxing but energising treat, dealing with muscular problems and enhancing flexibility. It involves firm pressing (with palms, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet) and gentle yoga stretching of muscles. The treatment can be softer or deeper depending on my client's preference.

Thai Yoga Massage is ideal for anyone regardless of their age, state of health or level of flexibility and is one of the few types of massage that can be carried out during pregnancy.

Thai Massage is used as a remedial and preventative therapy. It is excellent for various physical and mental conditions. It also encourages healthier sleep patterns, which gives our nervous system the fighting chance it needs to promote self healing and restore balance.

My background is Physiotherapy which I have been involved in now for over 12 years.
I have worked at high profile 5 Star Spa's across the world where my roles were both Spa Manager and masseuse.

Thanks to my background in Physiotherapy I have a strong knowledge and professional experience in the human body and its various muscle groups. This allows me to focus on my client's flexibility and areas of resistance, and work on the body to achieve optimum result for my clients.

Clients do not only achieve more flexibility but the TYM also helps extract any negative energy carried in the body by working on the energy lines. At the end of a treatment the client will feel calm and relaxed. Often clients sleep very well following treatments and find it aids them in stressful times.

I get great satisfaction in seeing how happy my clients are when they leave, and nothing makes me feel better than when I can help people to improve their well-being. I have a wonderful set of regular clients and it's always a pleasure to see them.

I am deeply grateful to Kira Balaskas for the wealth of knowledge that she shared with me. The training is accredited by the International Guild of Professional Practitioners (IGPP) and the Traditional Thai Yoga Massage Association (TTYMA).

I regularly have a massage with Daniela. My fitness secret weapon! She stretches my body and my mind goes up to heaven! Nobody comes close!
 

Daniela's wonderfully powerful but relaxing Thai massage have significantly improved my lifelong poor flexibility and helped to support my new fitness regime.
 

I find Daniela is extremely caring about ones own problems. She has a great understanding of how the body works. One benefits from the exercises and the Thai massage she gives especially the flexible movements. Excellent time keeping.
