  • Full Body Ayurvedic Massage (Abhyanga) + Sound Bowl Therapy

    Ayurvedic Massage uses a lot of oil to vitalise the body, moisturise the skin, and penetrate under the layers of the skin to bring a total wellbeing to your muscles and body. Using my hands and elbows, the massage strokes are more long and flowing, more wavelike and hypnotic, yet still strong. Think somewhere between Lomi-Lomi and Californian massage with Deep Tissue when needed.

    Essentially, it is a massage as you know it. Deep pressure where it is needed, along with more flow and more oil. Your full body, including your abdomen, chest, face.

    I use natural cold-pressed Ayurvedic oils that are safe on sensitive skin. They are chosen for their balancing properties.

    The session will begin and end with a sound bath, where I place metal singing bowls on and around your body. It is deeply relaxing and sets the tone for you to leave the outside world behind.

    70 mins - 80 EUR

    100 mins - 110 EUR

  • Before

    • No caffeine or large meal a few hours before the massage - so you can deeply relax.

    • Please attend without the influence of drugs, cannabis, alcohol - The thinning of blood and altered pressure will interact with the massages' movement of your muscles and increased circulation of blood. It is also important both of us are in the space with informed consent.

    • Please be freshly washed, and brush your teeth - or you can use the shower here at the start.

    During

    • We will sit for 10 minutes at the start to check in and discuss what you need.

    • You are welcome to be fully naked or draped, whatever is most comfortable for you. I will use quite a bit of oil, so if you choose to wear underwear, make it your cheapest pair.

    • You are welcome to shower here at the end to remove any oil.

    After

    • Drink 1 litre of water - and remain hydrated. A lot of energy is moved and needs to be hydrated so toxins can flow out of the body.

    • Eat light - soup, rice, something easy on the body.

    • Relax - best not to stress your body afterwards.

  • Hey, I am Martin (he/him). A queer man originally from Australia, living in Berlin since 2015.

    I have always been interested in bodies and the ability of our hands to tune into another. Both of my studies for Ayurveda and Sound Bowl Healing were in India.

    I have also studied Thai Massage, Chi Nei Tsang, and Tok Sen in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

    Ayurveda, aka “the science of life”, is a whole universe deeply embedded in the life and history of India. I am constantly learning more and happy to share everything I know with you. I have a larger arsenal of Ayurveda treatments that can be incorporated for longer-term clients, after we have established your Prakruti and we know the specific areas to treat.

    I have a deep respect for these practices that are strongly rooted to their cultures. Both Ayurveda and Thai Massage are ways of daily life in their lands and we can benefit a lot from their wisdom. It is such a privilege to connect with these practices and share with my community.

  • My intention is to create as intentional a space as possible that welcomes all bodies, expressions and identities. Language and touch will be as inclusive and affirmative as possible.

    Consent is key and we will discuss your needs before each session to make sure we are respecting any boundaries. I encourage you to communicate any change in preferences along the way and encourage you to say “stop” at any time. We can take a pause at any point. This service is for your own comfort and this takes precedence.

    Ayurvedic Massage is all about oil and requires skin contact. The most ideal would be fully naked so as not to destroy your fabrics, but wearing underwear is totally fine! We can discuss any considerations you require.

  • Payment takes place either prior to or at the conclusion of the session.

    It is fine to cancel/reschedule appointments until 24 hours prior to our booked time. Any cancellations within the 24 hour window need to be paid for in full.
