Thai Massage
Traditional Thai massage combines rhythmic acupressure with assisted stretching along the body’s energy lines (Sen lines). Performed without oils on a mat or table, Thai massage is deeply invigorating and meditative — often described as yoga done to you. Our therapist Annette specialises in Thai technique.
Best for: Flexibility, chronic tension, stress relief, active relaxation • Therapist: Annette

Kashmiri Massage
Originating in the Kashmir Valley, this ancient tradition uses long, continuous strokes across the full body with warm aromatic oil. The pace is slow and meditative. Kashmiri massage is among the most deeply relaxing massage traditions in the world — and Dominica is one of the few practitioners in Europe offering authentic technique.
Best for: Anxiety, sleep, deep relaxation, skin nourishment • Therapist: Dominica

Hot Stone Massage
Smooth basalt stones heated to body-safe temperatures are placed on key muscle groups and used as tools for massage strokes. The heat penetrates deeply into muscle tissue within minutes, allowing the therapist to work at a depth impossible with hands alone.
Best for: Chronic muscle tension, poor circulation, deep stress relief • Therapist: Dominica

Bamboo Massage
Warm bamboo sticks of varying sizes are used to roll, knead and press the muscles. The rolling action creates a unique form of compression that moves through tissue in waves — highly effective for deep muscle release and fascial work.
Best for: Dense or chronically tight muscles, athletes, deep tissue work • Therapists: Annette & Dominica

Oil Massage & Relaxation
Classic relaxation massage with warm plant-based oils — long effleurage strokes, gentle kneading, full-body coverage. The combination of skilled touch and nourishing oil is the foundation of Western massage therapy and one of the most universally effective tools for stress relief.
Best for: General relaxation, stress, sleep, skin health • Therapist: Dominica

Gua Sha Facial Massage
An ancient East Asian technique using a smooth stone tool to lift, contour and deeply relax the face. Gua sha promotes lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness, releases facial muscle tension and improves skin quality — and Dominica’s facial sessions are some of the most detailed available online.
Best for: Facial tension, puffiness, skin quality, ASMR • Therapist: Dominica
