The treatment encourages a deeper mind-body connection, guiding you into a state of profound relaxation and restoration.

Benefits of Californian massage
Improved posture

Pain relief

Frequently asked questions
What is Californian Massage?
Californian massage is a body therapy inspired by the rhythmic movement of ocean waves. It uses long, slow, and flowing strokes, combined with the hands, forearms, and elbows, working over the body with oil to create a continuous, fluid quality of touch. Its holistic approach addresses the physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions of the body. The technique includes a variety of movements such as deep contact, gentle rocking, twisting, stretching, and pauses that encourage deep relaxation. Slow, sustained strokes help release connective and muscular tissue, calm the nervous system, and integrate the body as a whole, you into a state of alpha brain waves,associated with deep relaxation, mental clarity, and a profound sense of calm.
How long does a session last?

About Me
Hello! I’m Ana Paula.
My journey began at Oasis - School of Massage and Healing Arts, where I trained in Californian Massage. Over the years, I’ve assisted in training processes in Buenos Aires and Spain at Spazio Masajes. I’ve also trained in aquatic techniques like Aguahara and explored various somatic and energetic paths, including transcultural shamanism, which has led me to perceive the body as an open, sensitive, and constantly evolving territory.
My intention is to support the possibility of inhabiting the body with more presence, sensitivity, and authenticity.
I aim to create a space where each person can reconnect with their own rhythm and trust their body as a safe territory.
