or holistic massage and chinese medicine for the therapeutic benefits. I also
hold a Phd and I like to understand what I do and to explain as much as I can
when my clients ask for explanations about the techniques that I use with them |

My aim is to make you feel as comfortable
as possible. I want to make sure that I

What
can massage do for me? |
Usually people come for a massage because they want to

Research has also given evidence that massage can do more than eliminate
stiffness in the muscles (Field, 2000) massage can
- Make you feel good and alleviate stress

Why do you feel good after a massage? |
Massage significantly increases the level of serotonin in our body (Field, 2005), in some cases this increase can reach more than 25% (1 quarter) serotonin is a feel good hormone, when its level increases we fell good. Dopamine is also a feel good hormone and massage increases the level of dopamine in our body, sometimes by more than 30% (almost 1 third).
As if that was not enough, massage also decreases the level of cortisol in the body, the level of cortisol shows our stress. When stress decreases, the level of cortisol decreases as well.
