Shamanic Body Touch

 

Being touched is one of our basic needs.

The care and attention offered through massage are central to this form of bodywork. You are given the space to respond in your own way, at your own pace. By bringing your attention to the sensations that arise during a session, you can explore your body's responses and become more aware of areas that may need attention.

Juanita has developed her own approach through years of experience with a variety of massage techniques and forms of bodywork. She works with sensitivity to areas where tension or discomfort may be present, adapting her touch to what she feels and to the feedback she receives from you. She is a certified masseuse and foot reflexologist and has completed numerous additional trainings in bodywork.

Massages

Massage offers time to pause and give your body some undivided attention. Through attentive touch, it can help ease muscular tension, encourage relaxation and create a sense of ease in both body and mind.

The abdominal area can also be part of the work. Many people notice that they hold tension here, sometimes without being fully aware of it. With gentle, attentive touch, Juanita gives space to the sensations that arise, allowing you to notice how your body responds. Throughout the session, your comfort and boundaries remain central, and the parts of your body that are not being treated are kept covered.

foot reflexology

Our feet carry us through life every day, yet we often give them little attention. Foot reflexology is a traditional practice in which pressure is applied to specific areas of the feet that are associated, within this approach, with different parts of the body.

The treatment offers an opportunity to slow down and bring your attention to your body through touch. Some people experience a deep sense of relaxation; others become more aware of particular sensations or simply appreciate having time to rest. Each experience is personal.

The session is adapted to your needs and comfort. Depending on your experience and what emerges during the treatment, we can discuss whether further sessions might be useful.

Our approach is guided by a few simple principles:

  • We take time to listen to your experience and what you need.

  • We consider you as a whole person, rather than focusing only on a particular complaint.

  • We pay attention to areas of tension and how your body responds to touch.

  • We adapt each session to your needs, preferences and comfort.


What does Foot Reflexology do?

  • Make space for physical and mental relaxation.

  • Take a pause from everyday demands.

  • Become more attentive to bodily sensations.

  • Experience a moment of rest and reconnection.

  • Explore how gentle, focused touch affects your sense of well-being.

Shamanic Body Touch session

Every Shamanic Body Touch session begins with a conversation. We take time to explore your background, how you are feeling, and what you would like to bring attention to. From there, Juanita shapes the session around you and what feels appropriate in that moment.

She draws on her knowledge of massage and bodywork, while allowing intuition to guide the process. No two sessions are the same. The work develops through listening, touch and the interaction between practitioner and recipient.

With respect for your boundaries, you are invited to settle into the experience and notice what arises. The session may include massage, energy work, voice, song, dance or spontaneous movement. It might begin with a gentle massage and gradually open into an exploration of sound or movement, depending on what feels natural at the time.

Juanita also draws on her years of experience with Peruvian shamanic traditions, which inform her approach to this work.

Shamanic Body Touch offers a space to explore your relationship with your body through touch, sound, movement and awareness. There is no prescribed experience you need to have or outcome you need to reach. The invitation is simply to be present with yourself and discover what unfolds.
