EVA BANIK: Myofascial Release and Structural Integration
Eva is a qualified soft tissue therapist with a background in dance and yoga and somatics. She is passionate about helping clients find awareness of their body to move effortlessly, breath easily, and to have a pain and injury free life. Her work has been inspired by Rolfing structural integration, zero balancing and somatic exercises to ease and reset the connective tissue in the body, extend range of movement and give a sense of alignment and integration. Her sessions gently encourage releases of tension and trauma in the body.
As well as being a qualified sports massage therapist, Eva is also a vinyasa flow yoga teacher and has studied thai massage, myofascial release, structural integration and zero balancing.
This session takes place on a massage table fully clothed. Please wear loose fitting clothing for the session.
JEAN-PHILIPPE GUICHARD: Shiatsu
I came to Shiatsu through an interest in oriental health practices and energy work which started at the Shaolin Temple in London. My two great passions as a holistic therapist, Shiatsu and Health Qigong are ways of experiencing life consciously and to radiate this from within.
I provide treatments, guidance and advice geared towards stimulating your vital strength and health. I will not heal you or bring you to a higher level of consciousness. You already have these powers within yourself. I am giving you support when you need it.
This treatment is an advanced and specialised massage which uses several different techniques, and is focused exclusively on the abdomen and lower back/sacrum. This therapy is gentle, but still a deep, massage which is designed to help improve the circulation to the abdomen and in turn aiding blood flow and reducing internal ligament/muscle tension.
ROB PEIRCE: Thai Massage
Robert’s treatments are a unique and contemporary blend of eastern and western massage and esoteric knowledge that incorporate Zen Shiatsu, Thai massage, Osteopathic technique and Andean Shamanism.
Robert is an experienced, authentic, intuitive and empathic therapist who began practising massage in 2001. His dedication to the study of mysticism and the healing arts has taken him on a worldwide journey, and he’s worked with everyone from Hollywood stars to homeless people.
JO LIM: Thai Massage and Osteopathy
Jo is a highly intuitive practitioner whose osteopathic background provides her with a technical anatomy-based approach to treatment. Jo has experience treating a wide range of conditions, such as chronic and acute back pain, shoulder dysfunction, disc injuries, headache; and has a special focus on gut related issues including digestion problems, issues with the menstrual cycle and treating during, pre- and post-pregnancy.
