What makes this massage special, according to Inês

Inês Oliveira, TOPSPA Spa Trainer, works with clients who are looking for a massage with a more active and revitalising quality. In her view, the Ayurvedic Massage stands out because it works the body with greater vigour without losing its attentiveness, comfort or respect for each person’s pace.

Recommended for anyone who…

• Is looking for a more intense and dynamic treatment than a classic relaxing massage.
• Feels physically heavy or tired, or needs to restore their energy.
• Values an approach inspired by Indian traditions of physical and energetic balance.
• Prefers a treatment with more vigorous movements that remain adapted to their sensitivity.

Inês Oliveira’s perspective

“For me, an Ayurvedic Massage calls for a different kind of presence. It is a more active massage with its own pace, but that does not mean it should be identical for everyone or excessively intense.

Before I begin, I try to understand how the person feels: whether their body feels heavy, they have muscular tension, they are particularly tired or they are looking for a greater sense of vitality. This initial conversation is very important because it helps me adapt the pressure, pace and areas that require more attention.

The Ayurvedic inspiration offers a more complete view of the body. We do not work only on the area where tension is present; we aim to create a feeling of flow, balance and release. The touch may be more vigorous, but it must always feel safe, conscious and respectful of the client.

I like to observe how the body responds throughout the massage. Some areas require more time, while others need a more gradual touch. I also remain attentive to the client’s breathing, comfort and response to the pace of the treatment.

What makes this massage special is its combination of energy and care. The intention is not merely to relax, but to help the person feel more awake and present in their body, with a renewed sense of balance.”
