Products used, allergies and medical contraindications
​
Although the studio is always well ventilated, we regularly use incense and essential oils to offer a clean warm welcoming aroma. For the massage treatments we use a variety of organic natural oils (coconut, almond, sesame and mustard seed oils) and a variety of essential oils. For the Ayurvedic massage we use different Ayurvedic oils which contain herbs and spices, and natural calamus root powder. The Ayurvedic herball bags pindas contain also natural herbs and spices. If you have any allergy or medical condition that we should be aware of before your class or treatment please let us know in advance.
The massage treatments at Mudita Studio are designed for comfort and relaxation only are not medical in its nature nor the therapist Clara is qualified to give any medical advise. When necessary I will suggest or refer you to another professional who is able to help you better with your specific complaints (podiatrist, physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractic, doctor, psychotherapist or any other complimentary therapist).
​
What happens in a treatment?
​
Every treatment is different and you can see their general characteristics and description here.
​
At Studio Mudita we take care of all the details to make sure the environment for your massage is deeply relaxing and comfortable. Upon arrival you will be offered a fresh lavette (or warm lavette in the colder months) and some fruit-infused water. The treatment room will be warm (or cool in the summer months) and peaceful with careful consideration given to the lighting, soft music (which you can choose from our Music Playlists) and essential oils diffused to add to the experience.
​
On the first visit clients will be asked a number of questions concerning general well-being, injuries and medical conditions that the therapist should know about, in order to determine if there are any contra-indications (physical conditions that would prohibit or limit a massage treatment).
​
Before starting any treatment the therapist will ask you what is your goal to achieve with the treatment (relaxation, reducing muscular tension or pain, etc) and any relevant medical information (allergies, pain, injuries, medical condition). Feel free to communicate the areas where you would like the therapist to focus more time and also any areas you would not like to be treated, the pressure you would like the therapist to use in the treatment and any other need or consideration for your session. Feel free to change any of your requirements during the treatment to make sure you are always comfortable, therapists love receiving feedback!
​
After choosing your music for the treatment and your choice of oil the therapist will leave the room so you can undress to your level of comfort. Your modesty and respect will always be kept throughout the treatment. The massage table and futon can be heated and bolsters and pillows can be used to ensure you lie down comfortably for the treatment. Hot towels will be applied to your feet and back during the treatment for deep relaxation.
​
The therapist will ask throughout the treatment for your comfort and if the level of pressure suits your needs. At any time you can indicate the therapist to change the pressure or technique being used or any other indication or question regarding your treatment.
At the end of the session the therapist will leave a few minutes to allow for answering any questions, giving some recommendations to lengthen the therapeutic effect of the treatment or advise you other therapies, methods or exercises that could be beneficial to you. Then the therapist will step out of the room to let you dress and will wait for you outside ensuring you can take the time to do so without any stress.
​
We recommend to keep well hydrated after the massage treatment and not rush off immediately after to maximize the relaxing effects of the treatment.
A glass of fruit-infused water will be offered and the therapist will proceed to take the payment for the treatment. Payment by cash and TWINT are welcome. Invoices can be requested.

With the aim to improve our service we would love that you would give us some feedback, suggestion or recommendation either by WhatsApp, email or leaving a review in Google, Fresha, Facebook or Tripadvisor.
