A part of Thai yoga massage is yoga-like stretching where you relax and do nothing while I slowly stretch out your body listening to and respecting your body's limits. The treatment also includes acupressure following the energy lines on the body, and these two parts of the treatment are intertwined in a flow of movements.

I have available times in April: 17th & 19th; 24th, 25th & 26th. Possibility to book a weekend appointment is on Saturdays 20th & 27th of April.

60 mins massage - 500 kr ~ 75 mins massage - 600 kr ~ 90 mins massage - 700 kr
(possible to get a receipt to use for friskvårdsbidrag)

Contact me for available times or with any questions you have about the treatment!

🪷 Breath is the connection between the body and the mind, by paying attention to our breathing we can get to know and influence both the body and the mind.

🫁 How often are you aware of and can observe your breathing and what happens to your body and your mind when you do?

🫁 What effect does that have when you do yoga or meditate, and what effect does it have while doing everyday things, like waiting for the bus or washing the dishes?

"In recovering from our creative blocks, it is necessary to go gently and slowly. What we are after here is the healing of old wounds - not creation of new ones"
Accepting the mistakes and chosing progress over perfection are my weak spots. Also seeing progress in "small" steps, instead of comparing it with expectations. Especially been struggling with it last few months while fighting consecutive bad colds and having no energy. But maybe something good is coming out of this - besides learning to accept low activity periods (which is extra difficult while starting up a business), realizing I could actually plan to escape nordic winters instead of suffering through them 😊

Are you interested in exploring your creativity and yourself, with the help of embroidery, guided meditations and art therapy techniques? Join my "connecting stitches" spring group! 🪡

~ Connecting Stitches is a series of workshops for exploring creativity and the healing power of embroidery taking inspiration from female artists.
The continuous group starting 5th of March will take inspiration from performance artist Marina Abramovic whose work explores topics of body, pain, love, conflicts, control, relationships and identity, always challenging physical and psychological limits of body and mind.
~ No previous experience in embroidery is needed. We will go over basic stitches which are enough to express yourself.
~During the 3 months we will be working on an "embroidery diary" marking different processes, feelings, events, topics, that we will go through.
~The group will meet 6 times: 5 & 19 March, 9 & 23 April, 7 & 21 May. In between the meetings we will communicate in a closed Facebook group. Possible languages besides English, are Swedish and Croatian. Maximum 8 participants. Cost is 160 eur/1800 kr, possible to divide in 3 payments.

The most important factor when doing thai yoga massage, for me, is that my client feels safe. We have a conversation before the session, where client has opportunity to express themselves and what is important for them to feel safe. I explain what I am gonna do during the session, but it is possible that a client gets surprised of the level of closeness some postures require (which just shows that being clothed or naked is not the only factor, but also the position and parts of the body being touched or being intertwined). This is why during the whole session my attention is on the clients body and the signals it sends me.

Free online workshop on the 20th february! ⚛
I am starting a continuous group that will work with embroidery combined with other methods such as guided meditations and art therapy techniques. The topics for the groupwork will be inspired by performance artist Marina Abramovic.
The free workshop is a taste of the continuous group, but it's a workshop on its own, and for that one you don't need to know how to embroider :) All the info in the facebook event - link in the comments! For questions or/and registration - send a DM 🏵

since this photo of my hands in clay appeared as a fb memory last thursday, few things happened that brought me back to art therapy 🐚 I got invited to go see Banksy exhibition and to join a workshop that combined movement, connecting to nature and creativity 🌿 These events made my heart beat with joy and excitement, and I got reminded to listen to it. Things always turn out good when I do :) And then I got into a wonderful education after being on a reserve list. So, from next week I will be studying art therapy and sociopsychodrama 💜

This yin yoga position is called banana, and it seems easy.

But, for a lot of people, yin yoga is difficult psychologically since poses are held for some time. It can be challenging to stay still. Your mind gets very active and you become aware of your own thoughts and feelings. They can be uncomfortable so you want to get out of the pose.

The trick is to turn your focus to your breathing. Notice your lungs and belly moving with air going in and out. This can sound simple but can be very difficult - the challenge is to train yourself moving your focus back to the breath each time a thought takes it elsewhere. Over and over again, during the pose. With time, it gets easier. And it's something that can be used in other everyday situations, when you need to calm your thoughts.
