Bodywork for women who never switch off

I relax the nervous system first. Focus and clarity come after.
Massage, chi kung and rituals, built around what your body asks for.

THIS IS NOT SWITCHING OFF

You're doing a thousand things at once and can't settle on one.

It isn't a discipline problem. It's a body that never quite lands. You've probably tried to fix this already: massages and appointments that never reached the root, and you left the way you came in. What that cost wasn't only money. It was the time you spent living close to the edge.

You booked two things for the same hour. Again.

You forgot something that actually mattered.

You're constantly anxious or on edge, without quite knowing why.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

I'd rather tell you now if this isn't for you.

It's for you if…

  • you tend toward hyperactivity or trouble concentrating.
  • you feel everything louder than the people around you.
  • you've left a massage tenser than you went in.
  • you want to understand your body, not just switch it off.
  • you're constantly anxious or on edge, for no clear reason.

It might not be for you if…

  • you want an hour of massage and nothing after it.
  • you need to be told how many sessions this will take.
  • you're expecting a miracle, and I don't do miracles.
WHY IT WORKS

Ritual Union: I add stimulation before I take it away.

Ritual Union is the name for this: massage, sound, oracles, smoke and presence practices, brought together into one session built around whoever walks in.

Telling a body that's already full of input to calm down is the fastest way to put it on guard

. It was the biggest insight I got from working with neurodivergent people. So I go the other way: sound, touch, scent, conversation, until your body recognises where it is. Only then do I start taking it away, one piece at a time, at the pace your body can take. That's when it gives in, and many fall asleep. That's where the focus comes from, never before. No two sessions carry the same pieces, and none of it has to be solemn to go deep.

START TO FINISH

It starts before you arrive and ends two days later.

  1. Days before you get the seven-hour playlist I use in sessions.
  2. At the door tea, a foot soak and a little talking, so the problems stay outside.
  3. Half an hour to two hours whatever that day calls for, ending in a meditation organ by organ.
  4. On the way out herbs or a foot soak to keep it going at home.
  5. Two days later I write to see how you are, sometimes with a qigong exercise.

WHERE TO START

Choose by the problem, not by the element.

The elements are just what I call them. What matters is what each one solves.

WHY I DO THIS

I didn't come to this as a calling.
I came to it needing it.

I worked seven years as a flight attendant, sleeping badly, eating worse and ignoring the body I now take care of. That is also where I received my first massages, as a client: it was always an important moment for me, where I allowed myself to relax. Somewhere in there I lost my mother, and spent a few years burying the grief in work. Yoga, qigong and shamanism were what finally made me stop. I resigned by email the day after I understood that, and went alone to Vietnam and Thailand to learn massage. I spent whole afternoons practising on myself what I now do for other people. That's why I understand the body of someone who arrives here exhausted: I've been her.

AFTER THE SESSION

They talk about two things: the sleep and the surprise.

I don't ask for these later. I ask at the end, with the session still in the body.

I have just had an amazing relaxation massage using Shiatsu, Myofascial Release, Aromatherapy, Soundhealing and Chi Nei Tsang techniques with @anicacortezhealing and all I can say is what wonderful hands — I feel light and relaxed, if you need a massage just talk to Anica, you will not regret it.
I needed this so much and didn’t even know it. Today I know I am going to sleep more than well. So grateful, my dear Anica.

Thank you Anica — when I got home I lay down and slept soundly, two hours straight. It did me so much good — I feel light as a feather. Big kiss.

My reading with Anica was incredible! Throughout the whole session she conveys so much serenity and clarity as she passes on the images she was sensing. I felt it was a very complete reading, touching on every area I wanted to explore. Beyond passing on the messages she saw, there was also a lot of room for questions and for anything I wanted to share that might help guide the session, which I found very comforting. Anica is truly an intuitive, understanding and neutral person you can trust. Thank you!

Starting the year with Anica’s card reading was simply magical!! She has a charismatic and welcoming energy that made every message from the cards bring insights that helped me reflect on what truly matters in this new cycle. She interpreted each card in a sensitive and inspiring way. She also gave me a relaxing and energy-cleaning massage, using various techniques like cupping and sound healing with gongs and flute.
The hapé experience was also really profound for me as I feel like it opened some gates in my mind, bringing the clarity I needed.
I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a special experience.

I loved the Soundhealing session with you… it really is healing through sound. With that caring energy I already knew from being close to you, and through all the instruments, oils, scents and tonics you brought, the combination is wonderful — it calms us from the frantic pace the day-to-day imposes on us, and that we so often end up letting ourselves be carried along by. It was a time of calm, introspection and self-healing, at a rhythm I identified with and loved!!

Thank you Anica for the wonderful journey through my senses. I flew through the sounds, scents, tastes and touch, and landed feeling full. I was given a journey held together by a message. And the therapy exists before and after being with Anica. Thank you for the magic of the herbs in the foot bath.
