The person behind the direction
Meet Kat.
Kat (Ekaterina Duginova) is Acalia's director. Her work in body and face massage in Lisbon helped shape an approach built around listening, comfort and choice.
Kat's approach
A session shaped around the person in the room.
The starting point is a conversation: what feels tense, what would help, and what you would prefer to leave out. The massage can then change in pressure, pace and focus as you go.
Listen first
There is no need to arrive knowing which technique to request. A simple conversation gives the session its direction.
Keep choice open
Comfort matters throughout. You can ask for a change in pressure or a pause at any point.
Make sound optional
Tibetan singing bowls may be included if you want them. Massage remains the heart of the experience.
Acalia as a business
