“What I like about Karina’s treatments is that she puts real consciousness in what she is doing, and that makes it a much deeper experience. It is as much spirit work as body work.” Andrew Paterson

"A session with Karina is a very profound experience. She has a very professional touch and I feel safe and taken care of. After a session my body feels light and flexible and I am calm and relaxed. Wonderful."

“I’ve visited Karina a few times for a Chavutti massage. On each occasion I have arrived with aching limbs and left with a feeling of energised lightness and ease of movement. I’ve now built in a regular massage with Karina every 6-8 weeks as part of my regular routine. As I’m in training for a half marathon and a keen yogi (these things don’t always go together!), this has been really invaluable to me. Karina’s touch is firm yet gentle, offering the strength of a deep sports massage with the sensitivity of a hot oil massage, all delivered with patience, generosity, sensitivity and humour. I would recommend Karina highly.”

"Karina's hot oil massage was the most awe-inspiring massage I've ever had. I could quite easily become addicted. I wasn't madly keen when she first suggested it for my Sciatica. I was worried that it wouldn't work on a deep enough level or I'd end up feeling all slimy and uncomfortable, but I was completely wrong on both accounts. In all the time I've known Karina, I've come to trust her assessment and intuition and I have to say I've never found such an effective way of soothing and easing out the locks and knots in my muscles. If I had one of these massages every day, I could throw my anti-inflammatory pills away."

"I have visited Karina several times for Chavutti massages. I spend long hours using computers and sitting at a desk, and Chavutti really helps to iron out the resulting aches and pains. The long, sweeping strokes from head to foot are not only good for aching muscles, they also open up the whole body, and have a profound effect on posture and breathing. I always leave my sessions feeling taller, lighter and less stressed. As well as being a good general massage, Chavutti is an astonishingly good treatment for getting really deeply into tight and knotted muscles. The way Karina uses her toes and heels to seek out and work on tight spots is really extraordinary - and because she can vary the pressure using her body weight very precisely, the massage really opens up the tight spots in a way which conventional massage often fails to do. I consider myself very lucky to have found Chavutti and Karina, and would recommend both very highly indeed!"

"I was feeling very fragile and was clearly upset that day [of the treatment]. I found you were extremely intuitive and sensitive to that, you put me at ease and I felt very comfortable with you . I found it soothing, calming and grounding, and left the therapy room feeling energised, relaxed and much happier. Overall a very rewarding and enriching massage, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thank you genuinely from my heart."

“I have had a positive experience with Karina’s massage therapy and encouragements. She is genuine and I really feel her energy when I’m being massaged. After a session I feel a healing sensation, a sense of spiritual calmness and overall relaxed feeling of well-being.”
