MASSAGE & BODYWORK

When the body relaxes, mental and emotional tension can begin to soften.

My bodywork brings together a range of techniques and mindful presence, always guided by what your body needs in the moment.

OESSENCE MASSAGE

This massage combines elements from Lomi Lomi, Californian massage, and foot reflexology. At its core, it remains rooted in the Conscious and Creative Touch approach developed by Christian Hiéronimus.

Slow, grounding touch creates a space where you can come home to yourself. I allow your body’s innate intelligence to gently guide the process.

Each session is therefore unique and in resonance with what is present in the moment. As your body awareness deepens, you can reconnect more fully with your vitality.

The OESSENCE Massage can be received either over clothing without oil or directly on the skin with oil, depending on your preference.

Mindfulness is at the heart of all my massages and forms the very essence of the OESSENCE Massage.

1.5-hour or 2-hour sessions.

Would you like to experience the OESSENCE Massage for yourself? Feel free to get in touch.

“It was a very mindful and gentle massage. I had the feeling that Manuella’s hands intuitively knew where to go and which areas to touch.”

— Nina, Darmstadt

LOMI LOMI MASSAGE

Lomi Lomi is a holistic massage rooted in an ancient Hawaiian healing tradition. Often referred to as the “queen of massages”, it is one of the most traditional forms of Hawaiian bodywork.

It is characterised by long, flowing movements performed with both the hands and forearms. Through slow and mindful touch, it invites a deep sense of relaxation and supports the release of tension on physical, emotional, and inner levels.

Do you feel drawn to the Lomi Lomi Massage?

Traditionally, Lomi Lomi has been associated with times of transition and new beginnings. It can support the process of letting go of what no longer serves you and creating space for something new. The massage is traditionally performed with warm oil.

2-hour or 2.5-hour sessions.

“I enjoyed a wonderful and deeply nourishing Lomi Lomi Massage. I felt completely at ease with Manuella and left feeling deeply relaxed. What I especially appreciated was the holistic approach of the massage, which touches and supports the whole person. Thank you for this beautiful experience!”

— Hannah, Darmstadt

TANTRA MASSAGE

My Tantra massage is an intuitive and mindful form of touch, inspired by the tradition of Kashmiri massage. It invites you to slow down, become more present, and to experience a more profound sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.

Through slow, attentive touch, physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions can be gently explored. Your body becomes a space where feelings, sensations, and life energy can naturally unfold.

This massage supports you in in reconnecting with your body's natural vitality and your own inner potential.

Please note: I do not offer Tantra massage as a first or single session. It is available only as part of an ongoing process over several sessions. I invite you to begin with a Welcome session to get in touch.

FOOT & REFLEXOLOGY MASSAGE

Our feet carry us through life, yet they are often the part of our body we pay the least attention to.

For thousands of years, foot massage has been valued in many cultures for its deeply relaxing and restorative qualities. Reflexology uses gentle, mindful touch to stimulate specific reflex points on the feet, inviting the whole body into a state of relaxation.

This massage supports your body's natural self-regulation, encourages deep relaxation of the nervous system, and helps restore a sense of balance from within.

You may experience a greater feeling of grounding and renewed vitality throughout your whole body.

Sessions über 60 oder 90 Minuten.

BOWEN TECHNIQUE

Bowen Technique (also known as Bowtech®) is a gentle form of bodywork developed by Australian Tom Bowen from the 1940s onwards.

It invites your body to enter a state of deep relaxation and supports its natural ability to regulate and rebalance. Through gentle, precise, and individually adapted impulses, the body is encouraged to find its own way back towards balance.

Bowen Technique works through the nervous system rather than through force. In this way, tension may release on a deeper level – not through external manipulation, but by supporting the body's own inner processes.

No oil is used during a Bowen session. The technique can be applied directly on the skin or through light clothing.
