Body treatments help

the body and mind release tension

​

REJUVENATING AROMATIC MASSAGE (PART-BODY, 60 min)

​

Aromatic classical massage combines the healing techniques of traditional classical massage with the natural power of essential oils. The treatment offers a holistic well-being experience, where the body receives gentle muscle care while the mind relaxes through the subtle aroma of essential oils. The massage releases muscle tension, improves circulation, and deepens breathing, while also supporting the calming and restorative function of the nervous system.

​

During the treatment, the massage proceeds with slow, flowing movements that soften tense muscles and restore the body’s natural movement. Warm oil makes the touch pleasant and helps the muscles receive the treatment gently, without pain or excessive pressure.

​

Aromatic classical massage is suitable for anyone seeking gentle muscle work, stress relief, nervous system relaxation, or overall balance for body and mind. The massage can help with headaches, neck, shoulder, and back pain, high blood pressure, reduce stress hormone levels in the bloodstream, and of course relax tight muscles. It also improves sleep quality. Usually, the night after the massage brings easy, restorative sleep.

Essential oils can also be added to any treatment to calm, relax, ground, or energize.

​

TENSION-RELEASING FASCIAL TREATMENT (PART-BODY, 60 min)

​

Fascial therapy is an effective and comprehensive body care technique that releases tension, increases mobility between connective tissues, and restores soft tissues to their natural, flexible state. The treatment combines three effective methods: manual fascial therapy, tissue mobilization using a fascia tool, and dry cupping. When fascia releases from tightness, the body moves more freely, breathing deepens, and overall well-being improves as tension caused by static postures, stress, exercise load, or repetitive movements is released.

​

Clients often describe feeling light, open, and free after the treatment, with mobility improving immediately. The treatment effectively supports fluid and blood circulation and the removal of metabolic waste, all while being very pleasant.

​

The treatment is always tailored to the client’s sensations, aiming to restore the body to a balanced state where movement feels natural and the mind is calm. The combination treatment is highly recommended for clients with chronic movement restrictions, joint pain, or prolonged stiffness.

​

​

AROMATIC CLASSICAL MASSAGE + FASCIAL TREATMENT (FULL BODY, 120 min)

​

This two-hour full-body restorative combination treatment provides a deep, holistic well-being experience where gentle aromatic classical massage merges with the effective techniques of fascial therapy.

​

The treatment begins with a calming warm oil massage that relieves surface tension and prepares the body for deeper fascial work. The sliding, precise movements of the fascia tool help release deeper tension, mobilize tissues, and free restrictions that limit the body’s natural movement. Dry cupping is applied during the treatment to stimulate tissue metabolism and circulation, enhancing recovery and supporting the body’s healing processes.

​

The subtle aroma of essential oils supports the nervous system’s relaxation and reduces the body’s stress load, allowing muscles to receive the treatment more gently. The flowing movements of classical massage improve circulation, soften tension, and bring lightness and warmth to the body.

​

The long duration allows a deep, unhurried full-body treatment where both muscles and connective tissues receive the attention they need. After the treatment, the body feels open, light, and free, and the mind settles into a calm, peaceful state.

​

​

REVITALIZING MERIDIAN MASSAGE (FULL BODY, 60 min)

​

Meridian massage is a relaxing and effective full-body treatment that releases tension, boosts metabolism, and clears the mind simultaneously – an excellent remedy against stress. The purpose of the treatment is to allow the body’s energy to flow freely, balancing body and mind into a natural state of relaxation. The massage involves stimulating the body’s meridians using pressing and stretching techniques.

​

​

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE (60 min)

​

Indian head massage is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that nurtures the head, neck, shoulders, face, and upper back. The treatment is performed seated and fully clothed, making it easy to fit into daily life. The massage combines gentle, rhythmic movements, calming pressure, and deep relaxation techniques that release tension and reduce bodily stress.

The treatment affects both body and mind: it relaxes neck and shoulder tension, eases headaches and migraine tendencies, calms the nervous system, and relieves mental pressure. Many clients feel clear, light, and peaceful afterward.

Indian head massage is suitable for nearly everyone, especially those under stress, office workers, or those with neck and shoulder tension. It offers a moment of pause and comprehensive well-being without hurry or effort.

​

CHINESE HEAD MASSAGE (60 min)

​

Chinese head massage is based on traditional Chinese medicine and involves treating the head, face, neck, and upper back with calm but effective techniques. The massage focuses on stimulating the body’s meridians and acupuncture points, promoting the flow of vital energy (qi) and releasing tension.

​

The massage is usually performed seated and is easy to fit into daily life, as clothes do not need to be removed. Chinese head massage helps soften neck and shoulder tension, relieve headaches, improve concentration, and clear the mind. It also calms the nervous system and restores the body’s natural balance.

​

Chinese head massage is particularly suitable for those experiencing upper-body tension, headaches, stress, or mental strain. It is gentle yet deeply effective, bringing lightness, clarity, and peace to both body and mind.

​

PAMPERING HEAD AND FACIAL MASSAGE (120 min)

​

This two-hour combination treatment merges a gentle but effective head massage with a facial gua sha treatment, creating a fully restorative and calming well-being experience. At the start, the client can choose either a Chinese or Indian head massage. Both techniques release tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, clarify the mind, and support the body’s natural recovery – Chinese massage by stimulating meridian points and balancing qi flow, Indian massage through rhythmic movements and Ayurvedic gentleness.

​

After the head massage, the face is treated with a natural stone gua sha tool using slow, flowing movements that boost circulation, reduce puffiness, and release subtle facial muscle tension. The treatment stimulates the skin’s natural glow, smooths facial expressions, and leaves the face relaxed and peaceful. Many clients describe the experience as a complete “restart,” with head and facial release reflecting throughout the whole body.

​

This combination is excellent for anyone seeking long-lasting relaxation, stress relief, and gentle care for both the head and face.

nature connection of traditional sauna healing

​

​

THE EMBRACE OF THE SAUNA -HEALING AND CEREMONY (90 min)

​

By stepping into the warmth of a traditional sauna, you open yourself to a unique sauna experience, guided gently by a sauna practitioner into the healing traditions of our ancestors. Here, timeless wisdom, the restorative power of nature, and the Finnish spirit converge.

​

The sauna combines heat, healing plants, and traditional rituals into a holistic experience. Through steam, various plants and herbs, sauna whisks, songs, and chants, you encounter the restorative power of the East Baltic sauna tradition, calming the mind, revitalizing the body, and listening to the ancient wisdom of nature.

​

The ceremony includes multiple healing elements: heat, scents, plants, sauna songs and chants, and gentle whisking. They envelop you in gentle care, nurturing body, mind, and soul. You are allowed simply to be and enjoy the complete experience.

​

The ceremony includes initial and final discussions, healing whisking and rinsing, small snacks, and drinks. Cooling breaks are included.

​

Surrender to the healing vibrations

of sound on a cellular level

​

SHAMANIC DRUM RELAXATION (60 min)

​

Drum relaxation is a deeply relaxing and grounding sound journey using a large ceremonial or shaman drum and other instruments suitable for the soundscape.

The treatment is gentle and holistic, where deep rhythmic drum sounds and vibrations help the body and mind relax, guiding you on a personal, intuitive journey inward.

Sound frequencies support natural relaxation responses, stress release, and energy balance restoration. To allow the drum’s sound to work evenly from all directions, the treatment is performed seated comfortably with support.

​

SINGING BOWL RELAXATION (60 min)

​

Singing bowl relaxation is a deeply relaxing and nervous system-calming treatment using the vibrations and harmonious sounds of Tibetan singing bowls. These help the body release tension, calm the nervous system, and support overall recovery.

​

The sound and vibration of authentic, hand-hammered bowls flow gently through the body, releasing tension, balancing the nervous system, and bringing deep peace. Clients are encouraged to pause, detach from daily life, and let the sounds heal.

​

The bowls produce harmonious tones and low vibrations that resonate with the body’s internal rhythms. Since the human body is largely water, vibrations travel effectively to the cellular level. Bowls are played around and, if needed, on the body. Singing bowl relaxation is performed lying on a massage table.

​

SOLUTION-FOCUSED AND LOGOTHERAPEUTIC BRIEF THERAPY / INDIVIDUAL GUIDANCE (REMOTE)

​

Individual therapeutic conversation is helpful when you feel stuck in some area of life and sense that you need support in discovering new perspectives and ways of acting. Stuck patterns may relate to ineffective behavior or thought patterns, which manifest as challenges in maintaining nourishing relationships, recognizing life’s purpose, feeling and expressing emotions, or seeing the path toward a self-aligned life.

​

Solution-focused brief therapy is goal-oriented, action- and future-oriented, and empowers the client by guiding a process of change. A logotherapeutic perspective anchors and brings the conversation and your goals back to your values: what is truly important to you in life, why, and how you can concretely implement these values in your choices and the life you live.

​

You can book an individual session before a retreat if you want personal support in preparing, or after the retreat if you wish to work more deeply or reflect on topics that arose during the retreat. We can also build routines together to support your well-being, which you may have already started exploring during the retreat, or individual guidance can help implement plans created at the retreat – you do not have to manage everything alone. Read client experiences at the bottom of the page.

​

NOTE! Please note that brief therapy is not a form of mental health treatment or rehabilitation, but preventive support for well-being.​​​​​
