BIOENERGETIC MASSAGE
Bioenergetic massage, based on the principles developed by W. Reich and later practitioners, is grounded in the idea that chronic muscle tension, often called muscular armouring, that holds unprocessed emotional energy. Over time, this can create both physical discomfort and emotional blocks.
This approach goes far beyond simple muscle relaxation. It addresses the deeper patterns behind tension, using the body itself as a pathway to emotional healing, stress recovery, and long-term well-being throughout body, mid and spirit.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep Tissue Massage helps ease persistent tightness, relieve muscular discomfort from desk work or training, and improve mobility.
Focused work on the back, neck and shoulders supports recovery, reduces tension and helps you feel more relaxed and ready for daily demands.
Firm, controlled pressure is adapted to your needs, targeting areas that feel tight or overworked. Whether you spend long hours at a desk or train regularly, each session aims to help you move more comfortably.
IASTM & COMPLEMENTARY TECHNIQUES
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) uses specially designed tools to work on areas of muscular tension and soft tissue restriction, helping improve comfort and mobility.
Depending on your needs, sessions may also incorporate cupping techniques, bamboo rolling and soothing warmth from a TDP infrared lamp.
These techniques complement hands-on massage, offering varied pressure and targeted work to support relaxation and ease stiffness.
METHODS
Energy Regulation
Encouraging healthy energy flow to combat stress and fatigue. Identifying "armoured" areas of holding, where the body has learned to contract in response to stress or past experience. These often show up as stiffness, pain, limited movement in the tissue, anxiety, stress or numbness.
Tension Release
Through deep, intentional touch, slow pressure, breathwork, and sometimes gentle movement, these “armoured” areas begin to soften. As the tissues release, the emotional charge behind them begin to shift and the body’s naturally recovers its organic energy flow, improving posture and breath.
Emotional Resilience
When the body lets go of long-held tension, the nervous system has space to process what was previously suppressed. This increases body awareness, emotional clarity, and a sense of wholeness and strength.
Energy Dynamics:
Our bodies operate on dynamic energy cycles — constantly charging, storing, and discharging. Let's work with these natural rhythms through:
Consultation
We'll have a quick honest chat about why you're here and what you want to achieve from the session. I'll ask about your health, stress, and any specific areas of concern in your body. You’ll also fill out a brief Intake & Consent Form, don't worry, nothing too formal.
Preparation & Session
I'll show you to the treatment room where you can undress to your comfort level and lie on a heated table with clean towels provided. Once ready, I’ll use techniques and pressure that suit your preferences, with oil to reduce friction.
Communication - Relaxation & Conclusion
During the session, please feel free to give feedback and if you feel the urge to sigh or even groan to release tension—it's a good sign, don't hold back! Once the session is complete take a few minutes to relax and absorb the benefits of the massage before getting back to your day.

My work is Not a spa treatment, it’s about aligning your nervous system.
To support you fully, I ask that you share your specific reason for booking. Stress, injury, emotional grounding.
Every person carries its own story.

Sometimes, clarity also shows that I may not be the right practitioner for you. If that’s the case, I’ll tell you honestly.
Integrity is at the heart of my practice.
Taking a moment to ask yourself “What is my body asking for right now?” helps your system begin shifting before we even start.

Call me Serge.
I first trained in Bioenergetic Massage in 1993, alongside Shiatsu, a Japanese acupressure-based bodywork system. These foundations shaped my understanding of the connections between posture, breathing, movement and life experience.
Life later took me in different directions before I returned to bodywork with a renewed perspective and commitment to professional development.
Today, my practice combines soft and deep tissue massage, advanced soft tissue techniques and bioenergetic principles, tailored to each client’s needs.
Further training in mindfulness, stress resilience and trauma-informed approaches has deepened my understanding of physical tension, emotional patterns and the nervous system. I continue to develop my knowledge and hands-on skills, bringing care, attention and respect to every session.
