Customer FAQs

What type of massage should I choose?

Mention the reason why you want a massage (e.g. stress relief, shoulder pain, etc.) and we will recommend the appropriate one.

This review from one of our clients is typical of the subject: ".. had a real knowledge of the pressure points and how to relieve my tension. The massage is customized by the therapist to meet your needs, so you don't have to choose a specific type. It is much more than just a massage. I loved the essential oils used. Thank you and if I return to Athens, I will definitely visit you." Google Review -P. Giordano

Do you offer massage with ... cupping ... hot stones ... acupressure ... shells ... pouches ... bamboo sticks, etc.?

No! Nothing can replace the power and effectiveness of skilled and well-trained hands. The sensation and energy that the hands emit is unique and incomparable, and that is why we believe that by using such tools, clients are not enjoying the maximum benefit that a massage session can offer! On the contrary, some tools can cause harmful side effects on the body.

The human hand is the most effective therapeutic tool " The human hand in combination with the mind and the heart is the most sophisticated tool in the universe.. Undoubtedly the hands are the most useful part of our body for any task, but for a massage therapist they are his main tool. The hand and the quality of touch are a reflection of the soul."

Should I shower before or after the massage?

Importance of Showering Before a Massage and Benefits of Essential Oils

It is recommended to shower before the massage (up to 2 hours before). We use high-quality oils, creams and essential oils that are best absorbed when the skin is clean. It is not necessary to shower after the massage, as the oil is usually absorbed by the end of the session. If it is not necessary, it is advisable to avoid showering for at least a few hours or until the next day, in order to allow the nutrients of the products we use (organic essential oils, creams and oils) to be absorbed by the body and to benefit to the maximum from the properties of our products. a

An additional reason to shower before a massage is that if a client is sweating for a long time, it is not the therapist's fault that they have to endure unpleasant odors for an hour! :)

Are there female masseuses, can I see photos?

We have fully trained and certified female and male therapists who love their work. We are not a matchmaking agency where you choose from photos.

When scheduling an appointment, please inform us if you have a preference for a male or female therapist.

Do you do Deep tissue or Sports massage? I want a lot of pressure.

We perform deep tissue massage and sports massage that aren't meant to be painful, though some discomfort and sensitivity may occur in certain problem areas , which we refer to as 'sweet pain'. This discomfort is considered beneficial, as it typically subsides within 5 to 10 seconds and aids in tissue healing. It's essential that the client can breathe normally while pressure is applied.

As experienced therapists, we tailor each session to meet the client's specific needs. Whether our aim is to alleviate stress or relieve muscular pain, combining deep tissue methods with more relaxing massage techniques proves to be more effective.
