Naya is one of a few practitioners of Alchemy of Touch—
a deep, dynamic and poetic form of Transformational Bodywork developed by Tapesh Paradiso and Anouk Devi.

Alchemy of Touch is designed to break the limiting patterns of movement within the body and mind, while restoring a state of harmony and deep relaxation to regain innate and optimum health.

This profound fusion facilitates the release of tension by focusing on the myo-fascia in order to unwind physical imbalances and open subtle energetic channels.

During a session 

During a session, I work with deep presence in order to listen and respond to the needs of the moment. I open myself to feel deeply. I remain empty and effortless, an open channel.

Alchemy of Touch uses wavelike movements, which allows energy to vibrate through the body improving fluidity and oxygen flow, dispersing sensation and giving the client what can only be described as a really “yummy” experience, even when combined with deep pressure that might otherwise be experienced as painful.

In this massage I use a high quality organic hand prepared blend of sweet almond & ricinus oils combined with a few drops of lavender essential oil, that will help promote deep external and internal relaxation. I use a relatively small amount of oil compared to more traditional massages, in order to keep a good grip on the muscles, myo-fascia and joints.

I hold a safe container to promote optimal relaxation, welcoming each client to come as they are. I use sheets and blankets to cover the body throughout the massage for warmth and comfort. It is encouraged to receive the massage treatment completely undressed but it is also perfectly fine to keep your underwear on. You choose what helps you feel the most relaxed.

Visceral Organ / Belly Massage

Your organs are soft and need to move inside your body to do their jobs. Visceral mobility is how well your organs can contract, release and squish as needed. Overburdened or damaged organs can develop adhesions and scar tissue that makes them less pliable. When the fascia— the connective tissue and fluid around organs— becomes stiff, it limits their movement and pliability and hinders your organs’ function.

Visceral organ massage revitalises the organs by breaking the clogged cells, tension and entanglements, supporting the activation of stem cells to repair and heal damaged cells.

The belly is also the storehouse of our emotions and a relaxed belly promotes mental and emotional health.

Side-body session

A completely unique experience, using the same Alchemy of Touch principles of depth, flow and movement, allowing for sensations unfelt before.

The receiver is lying on the side, as in a sleeping position, gently surrounded and held by pillows, in order to access areas and angles of the body not accessible on a traditional front & back session, like the ‘Muscle of the Soul’— the PSOAS. The psoas is far more than a core stabilising muscle, it is an organ of perception composed of bio-intelligent tissue and embodies our elemental desire to flourish.
Within the Taoist tradition, it is said that a relaxed psoas is the mark of play and creative expression, and allows subtle energies to flow through the body to reconnect to the life force of the universe.
