Welcome, to YîM - Yoga Massage.
‘Yîm’ means ‘smile’ in Thai.
My name is Marlene and my mission is to inspire genuine smiles.
We genuinely smile when we feel at home in our body and in the world.
My intention is for you to leave my massages feeling relaxed and energized. So that you can bring the best of you to what you truly care about.
A unique form of massage
Thai Yoga Massage is a unique form of therapeutic massage combining acupressure with passive stretches and postures that have the same origins as yoga.
Just like in yoga, the massage is guided by the calming rhythm of our breath.
The full body approach of Thai Yoga Massage helps to relieve our physical tension, calm our nervous systems and increase the free flow of energy through our body.
As a result, the treatments can help to stimulate circulation, lower stress, tiredness and restlessness, increase people's range of motion and reduce body pains and aches.
Full-body treatments
Thai Yoga Massage is given on a mat on the floor* with the receiver wearing comfortable clothes and without the use of any oil. I tailor every treatment to each person’s individual needs. Hence my massages are suitable for everyone, regardless of age, body shape or level of flexibility.
My treatments last 1.5 to 2 hours and cover the whole body, from the feet to the head and everything in between (except for the breast and genital areas and any parts of your body that you prefer to be skipped).
Thai Yoga Massage is also wonderful in pregnancy and can be done from 3 months in, right up to having the baby. You can also have postnatal treatments, with you baby next to you, working around feeding and your baby’s needs.
* For those people for whom lying down on the floor is not an option,
I also offer treatments on a chair.
Massages
for everyone
I believe everyone deserves regular massages and that our world would be a more peaceful place if we did receive this kind of care.
For this reason, I offer:
-
massages and courses at your home, so you can fit them into your schedule and/or combine them with child care
-
private workshops so you can learn how to give massages
to your loved-ones.
