Aoife is our new therapist this summer who has a wide range of relaxing and rejuvenating therapies to offer! Please read on to find out more..

Hello - my name is Aoife (pronounced Eefa). I was born and grew up in Southern Ireland and have traveled extensively throughout the world. For the past three years I have been living with my husband and our two beautiful daughters in the lovely hamlet of Serrada where we are busy restoring an old cottage.
I’ve been a professional bodywork practitioner for 12 years and have trained in a range of therapies including Swedish Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Aromatherapy Massage and Thai Massage.
I believe in treating the body, mind and spirit, using my experience to either offer you a session of individual treatments or if you prefer I can provide a luxury treatment combining elements of Aromatherapy and Thai Massage with any of my other treatments creating a full on pampering session tailored for your desired requirements.

Reflexology - €65 for two people (1 hour each)

This relaxing treatment will alleviate the symptoms of many illnesses. Lie back and enjoy the soothing sensations as I stimulate your feet to give you enhanced health and greater vitality. Specific points on your feet correspond to different parts of the body. You will experience slight tenderness or ´crunchiness’ on points where your body is congested or out of balance. Reflexology techniques stimulate these points helping your body reach increasingly improved levels of health. This treatment is deeply restful. Do not be surprised if you fall asleep.

Reiki - €65 for two people (1 hour each)

Be warned, once you have experienced Reiki you will want more! Lie back fully clothed on my couch and drift into dreamy relaxation as you let this Japanese energy healing system revitalize you and take your body into a state of harmony and balance. You will experience wonderful floaty sensations as I place my hands in specific patterns on your body to bring about refreshing regeneration on all levels of being: physical, mental and spiritual. This is a wonderful treatment!

Swedish Massage - €65 for two people (1 hour each)

You will feel light, de-stressed, energetic and flexible after this ultimate body-mind-spirit therapy. Feel scrumptiously comfortable and warm on my massage couch as you experience one of the world's oldest methods of healing. Using ancient hands on systems I work directly on your body, softening your skin, muscles and bones. This relieves stored tensions and pain while stimulating your body to clear toxins such as lactic acid. Find out how a softer body is stronger, on all levels.

Indian Head Massage - €35 for two people (30 minutes each)

Feel muscle tension melt away, bringing an end to migraine, headaches, eye strain and stiff necks. This delicious Indian Head Massage (Champissage) is a wonderful stress buster. A health promoting massage that stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage throughout your entire body. Rejuvenating and deeply relaxing Indian Head Massage is given to you as you sit back, fully clothed, comfortably in a chair. This is the perfect pick-me-up therapy if you have a busy schedule and want to organize some precious `you time.’

Luxury Treatment - €65 (1.5 hours +)

Treat your self to a luscious full pampering session personalized for your desired requirements. This delectable head to toe session will include a full aroma therapy facial and special invigorating feet soak. The pampering during this session can last up to two hours.
