Below are descriptions of different body work modalities offered by Kaiku Lifestyle: Swedish massage, Deep Spa/Deep Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Pregnancy and Infant massage, Myofascial Release, Reiki. Different modalities can also be combined in one session.

Relaxing Swedish massage

Swedish massage is gentle and relaxing and has many health benefits and it is a good start if you have never experienced massage before.

During Swedish massage, massage therapist uses creme to facilitate smooth, gliding and sometimes kneading strokes skin to skin. The client's privacy is secured at all times with proper draping with the massage sheets.

The pressure in Swedish massage can be anything from very gentle to firm. It improves circulation, eases muscle tension and promotes relaxation and stress reduction.

Deeply relaxing Deep Spa

Deep Spa or Deep Swedish is developed from Swedish massage (description above) but it is deeper and more specific. The strokes are longer, deeper and follow the edges of the muscles slowly and connected to the tissue. The benefits are same as in the Swedish but the massage can be even more therapeutic and tailored to treat specific problem areas.


Therapeutic Deep Tissue

I believe that Deep Tissue shouldn't hurt. It can be intense but not painful. I do Deep Tissue by slowly sinking in and feeling deep into the tissue layers and finding the problem areas and connecting them. It is very relaxing as well as therapeutic. I communicate with the client about the sensations and depth of the strokes.

Effective Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a very effective bodywork technique also used by physical therapists where the therapist applies gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to reduce pain and restore motion. Each session is performed directly on skin without oils, creams or machinery.  Read more.

Pregnancy and infant massage

Massage during pregnancy reduces pain and stress, relaxes, ensures better sleep and helps with the hormonal, respiratory and other physiological processes during pregnancy. Pregnancy massage can be beneficial in preparing for the labor too. Pregnancy massage can be received in second and third trimester if there are no complications in the pregnancy.

Infant massage is taught to the parents so they can massage their baby after birth. Infant massage helps the baby with circulation, digestion and elimination and neurological development. It is also great way to increase bonding between the child and the caregiver.

Radiant Reflexology

Reflexology is the study, science and art of using specific touch techniques on reflex maps closely resembling the shape of the human body found on the feet, hands and outer ears.

Reflexology promotes deep relaxation and balance in the body and helps to improve general health and reduce stress.

Balancing Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also helps the body to heal itself. It’s administered by laying on hands and can be easily learned by anyone. Some people also call it energy work. I also teach Reiki, ask more about the workshops.
