Hello!
My intention is to be a safe and trustworthy person with whom you can go on a deep journey to soothe, awaken, heal and discover yourself. I am a massage therapist and I also work with groups and individuals supporting release, relaxation, expansion, integration, mental and physical balance.
In my work various massage modalities & techniques (holistic massage, deep tissue, Thai massage, Reiki, Taoist bodywork) are combined to create a process that is designed to help you return to yourself. By giving our bodies this focused attention we dive into a journey of relaxing our nervous system, this relaxation giving us access to so much more of our own energy and the opportunity of exploring and inhabiting more of these inner resources. Forgotten and never known parts of ourselves arise to be experienced and integrated through this work. By clearing the pathways of the body, releasing heavy emotional burdens and blockages we open the body to experiencing more of our natural powerful energy - increased vitality, greater joy and inner balance is found.
I am an accredited Massage Therapist and Counselor. I hold a therapeutic space in which you can relax into yourself, allowing that which does not belong to you to fall away and for the deeper truth to become more visible. At the core of my work I intend to be uniting spirit to matter, mind to body. I use the tools gathered from various massage modalities, practices of Taoism and Tantra. I believe that our self-actualization depends on us inhabiting our bodies. I am here to help you inhabit your humanity and support you in purifying the relationship you hold with yourself. My hope is that together we can journey ever so slowly and tenderly into the places you have kept shut but are longing to open.
BIO:
I was brought up in Riga, Latvia. Where I finished design art studies and continued with performance art studies in London in 2008. In 2011 as a way to deepen my sense of self, to form a deeper connection to my body and my creativity, my own therapy and healing took precedence and lead me to finding modalities of therapeutic bodywork that benefited me greatly.
I have always been highly sensitive, because of this my life journey has been a lot to do with understanding my own experience and it's intense emotional nature. Without knowing it I became fascinated with understanding and finding ways to calm my nervous system, strategies for soothing, for my own survival and well being. I was overwhelmed by the amount of information that was being communicated in any interaction. I was troubled to understand humans as it seemed like what humans were saying to me and what information was being received through the interaction by me was not one and the same thing. I grew up asking: why do we humans so rarely talk about that which is truly taking place? Why are so few looking inside to acknowledge what is truly taking place? My vigorous and curious nature has always been fascinated by life and it's essential elements: matter-spirit, birth-death, pro-creation, co-creation, sexuality, life's cycle, what is it to be a woman, and to be a woman at this time? what is it to be a woman in relation to a man? the human body in relation to the mind, human body in relation to the earth... what gives meaning to this life? what is a life worth living?
