Your body is your temple and your guide, you are just relearning to tune into its intelligence and wisdom and cultivate your natural inner guidance.

I am a qualified Somatic Movement Educator and Practitioner from the school of  Body-Mind Centering®.  I also have a background in Thai-Yoga Masage and Lomi-Lomi Massage. Movement and body are of great fascination for me since an early age.

I am interested in supporting the natural process of the body to heal itself, finding balance, integration and embodiment in life.

Touch is a fundamental need of everyone. The sense of touch is the first to develop and our earliest means of communication from the uterus to the arms of our mother.

What can you expect from a session? 

In an individual session, I meet you right where you are, offering a space for a verbal or non-verbal dialogue encompassing touch and movement. With hands-on, I listen to the tissues, the rhythms and flow, how different systems are communicating and I am supporting your body to unfold in a process of re-balancing itself. Touch and movement, which are two fundamental human needs, have a great potential to bring aliveness and awareness in areas of the body-mind that might feel less vibrant. You might experience the opening of new pathways of movement, a sense of deep relaxation and nourishment, the arising of vital energy that wants to be expressed.          

• The treatment is done with clothes on, so please wear loose comfortable and warm clothes. 
• It lasts around 90 minutes.
• Combine nurturing and listening touch with gentle mobilization. 
• Focus on a specific issue relates to the body rather than a symptom only.
• It works best on the floor using a futon mattress or a thin firm mat.

“It is difficult to find words for the magic that Melody does in her sessions and how you feel afterwards, you would best book just one session to feel for yourself and you’ll know, it’s amazing! After each session, I always feel much lighter, stronger, more self-empowered and most of all deeply nourished – ready to face whatever is going on in my life, it’s like plugging in and recharging. Deep gratitude for this gifted bodyworker and all her qualities that helped me so much many, many times.” – Michael

Thai Yoga Balancing

Traditional Thai Yoga Massage practice is rooted in the Indian tradition of Yoga and Buddhist spiritual practice. The foundation of this massage practice is based on the concept of working on a system of 10 energy lines called ‘Sen’ running through the body (similar to Meridians in Chinese / Japanese medicine) and combines gentle yoga stretches with acupressure techniques.

The aim of a Thai Yoga Balancing session:

• Rebalancing and stimulating free energy flow, 
• Encouraging deep relaxation and mindfulness, 
• Helping to restore well-being of whole body by supporting our body’s natural inclination to heal itself, 
• Improving mobility and flexibility and helping to relieve pain and tensions. 
• Involving a flowing and dynamic interaction between giver and receiver so be prepared to have your body shifted in different positions.

“Melody’s ability to give both soft and strong touches is a real joy for my whole body. I always feel well taken care of in all aspects of my being and I can fully sink into her hands and with great gratitude receive her healing touch. After every bodywork session I feel again reconnected with my own body, whole and round, uplifted and light, energised and strong, loved and in (self)love.” – Bella

 “Receiving bodywork from Melody has been incredibly nourishing and life-giving to me, it makes my body very happy! Melody brings such gentle, compassionate sensitivity to her work, every session is like a wonderful discovery journey where I learn more about my body, find new freedom in my body, and also just get to enjoy her touch, which always seems very attuned to what I need in the moment! This has brought me greater awareness of and interest in my body as a living, breathing organism, and more pleasure as I inhabit it more mindfully.” – Nadja
