Jasmina was one of the first women who received massages from me after my journey with unwind & recharge started in 2015. Recently, I had an interesting conversation with her about the power of massage. Here are some of her insights. Thank you so much Jasmina!
You love having massages for numerous reasons. What do you love about massages?
For me a massage is about self-care, about healing, and about joy.
I love the idea of doing something for myself. I love the idea of dedicating some time just to myself and my body. I am not good at doing nothing. I’m always thinking, writing, talking or running somewhere. A massage is the only time when I can just relax and let my brain and muscles relax and enjoy the sensation. Nowadays, there is so much talk about importance of self-care for busy mothers, busy professionals and busy people in general. A massage is my way to take care of myself.
Sometimes my body is in pain. Then, touch through massage helps me to make a shift from pain to joy. I relax and let touch take my pain away. I can feel all tension going away and my body thanking me.
A massage never fails on me. That is why in the last 20 years I have massages minimum once a week and sometime even more often.
I look better after massage. I feel happier after massage too.
You had regular massages after you and your partner went through a challenging time. How did massage help in this process?
A few years ago, my family went through a very hard period caused by a horrible traffic accident. I was depressed, anxious and did not handle well everything that was happening around me. Unfortunately, that was also the time when I stopped going for massages although I loved them so much. That is when I learned that it takes strength and health to perform self-care. And I had no health nor strength. However, after about six months I recommenced regular massages. And it helped again. I felt alive, less stressed, and as if I was important and as if my body was important again. It helped me to feel in control and ready to participate in life again.
For me a massage symbolises health and care and wealth and celebration of life.
What would you tell people who never received a massage, who believe they would not like it or think it is too expensive?
I would recommend a massage to everyone, and especially to people who feel that life is too much for them and that they are losing it. Do not wait to feel better as I did. Because a massage will help you to feel better. A massage is also great for busy people, for mums and professionals. A massage is an exceptionally easy way to take care of yourself.
A massage provides such a good value for money. I cannot think about better way to spend about hundred dollars, because treating yourself to a massage means health and wealth and care and celebrating yourself. It is very enjoyable feeling, I promise.
What is different or special about receiving massage at unwind & recharge?
Unwind and recharge has beautiful, gentle, holistic approach to wholeness of their clients. Kathrin has amazing, gentle energy and I always felt instantly cared for. My heart, soul, muscles and brain always join in joy when I treat myself with Kathrin’s body work. I thoroughly enjoy the smells and touches and sounds of music. And there is a gong
