Holistic Therapies
Your Journey to Wellness. Guided by a Lifetime of Healing.
With a professional practice established in 2010, I brings over a decade of dedicated experience to every session. However, my journey with holistic healing began long before, rooted in an authentic family tradition of natural remedies and therapeutic touch.
From learning to intuitively relieve my father’s back pain as a child to observing my mother utilize techniques passed down through generations—such as cupping, honey massage and home-made remedies with rakiq and herbs, and applying traditional remedies—my approach is steeped in a true understanding of body mechanics and natural wellness.
This deep, intuitive understanding forms the foundation of my work. I blend this inherited wisdom with specialized training to offer a comprehensive range of therapies and powerful, restorative treatments, including Reflexology, the deep comfort of the Stick & Stones Warm Massage, and revitalizing Indian Head Massage. Radka is trained in over 100 different modalities of beauty, massage & energy treatments, including Ayurveda. She has a great passion for health. Radka is a healer by soul and use the healing powers of the nature as much as possible to help others prevent or heal dis-ease brought by dis-balanced lifestyle.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a popular and relaxing holistic treatment based on the principle that reflex points on the soles, tops, and sides of the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way, the feet can be seen as a 'map' of the body.
This is an ancient unique treatment that is believed to help correct imbalances throughout the body, and help release blocked energy.

This is followed by a relaxing lower legs massage and a warm-up, leading to a pressure points work on the reflexes with thumbs and fingers using specialized massage techniques. The application of a gentle pressure on these reflex points leads to stimulation of the nervous system and help release any blockages or tension. A thirty minutes short version is also available. It involves only a reflect points pressure on the feet and lower leg massage.

Holistic facial is the most relaxing facial you can ever experience! It is not focused as much on the products used, as on the care for the facial tissues and muscles.
In this treatment we use only manual manipulations. It involves cleanse, exfoliation, mask or/and a massage (In the 30 min treatment you should choose if to have a mask or a massage. In the 60 min session you can have both, and the 90 min session is a whole indulgent experience with added serum and back massage).
We use natural products and individually mixed oils prior the massage. Radka is Ayurveda trained and she uses natural ingredients to prepare the masks and the oils in front of you. We can incorporate an Opatra machine on request. It has three functions - providing deeper cleansing of the skin, anti-aging function, and anti-bacterial & anti-inflammation function.
Honey Massage
This massage involves working the soft tissue of the body, to ease day-to-day stresses and muscular tension, and promote relaxation, like a regular massage but with so much more…
BENEFITS:
Honey helps to increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the treated areas and can also be used in support of other therapies to assist in the rehabilitation of muscular injuries, as the muscles are stretched and loosened. During the massage, the beneficial substances from the honey are absorbed directly into the skin and trapped toxins are loosened.
The Honey has powerful anti-bacterial and antiseptic properties on at least sixty species of bacteria. It is non-toxic and has strong effects. It can be used for very sensitive skin and can help ease irritation. The human body is absorbing up to 100% of the honey benefits property. The effect of the honey can be felt almost immediately after a single treatment.
It helps to improve vitality and relax your mind and body.
It is noted that honey massage is quite beneficial for back pain. During the massage, the energy meridians which correspond to internal organs are stimulated. The stimulation of these meridians and the start of the detoxification process promote a strong revival of the whole body.
Honey massage considerably improves blood circulation in deeper layers of the skin and warms and tones it. It also promoting improvements in nutrition and waste removal in the skin and in all of the internal organs and help to eliminates the pain. During the treatment your skin is deeply cleansed and moisturized, its elasticity increase.

There are some more benefits:

* Free the individual from intellectual and physical chronic exhaustion.
* Increase immunity and the ability of the organism to purify itself.
* Produce soothing and rejuvenating effects.
* Eliminate acne, help dry and itchy skin.

The honey is best integrated in the following treatments: facials (cleans and purifies the skin, ideal as 2 in 1 - as a natural exfoliator and a mask), back massage (relax tissues, heals colds and get rid of high temperature), buttocks & legs (anti-cellulite & exfoliates).
The honey massage is very specific and some clients find it uncomfortable and unpleasant due to the stickiness and the natural skin suction. This is the best massage for elevating colds and toxins from the body. A back massage lasts around 45 min to an hour. It involves massage on the back with honey mixed with ginger and lemon (plants or essential oils) for about 10-15 min (until the texture of the honey change and is ready for removal). Then the back is washed with warm towel. A relaxing back massage with individually mixed essential oils follows up. The client leaves with a sense of relaxation and very clean skin.
Radka use this massage on her kids and clients straight away if a cold appears. It cuts off the cold and the body heal itself super fast.

It is also believed to help improve circulation and detoxify the skin. This salt can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and even dandruff.
What is the massage like?
We preheat the balls in our special heater then we use oil or dip them in water for smoother massage experience.
You should buy your own salt balls prior the treatment. You need to order them at least one week in advance. Then you save them for yourself. Once you buy them you can reuse them for the other treatments to follow. They have over 30 different uses around home and to benefit your health. Radka will share a sheet of paper with all of the benefits, when you buy the balls from her. (This treatment is not available at the moment.)
Nabhi Purana
Nabhi Purana or Nabhi Abhyanga are traditional Ayurvedic practices centered around the navel, or belly button (Nabhi).
In Ayurveda, the navel is considered a vital energy center (Marma point) that is connected to numerous channels (Nadis) and is the seat of the Manipura Chakra and Agni (the digestive fire).
Nabhi Purana/ Nabhi Abhyanga (or Nabhi Chikitsa - Navel Therapy)
What it is: A therapeutic treatment where warm herbal oils or ghees are applied to or filled into the navel pit and/or gently massaged into the surrounding abdominal area.
Technique: The specific practice of "Purana" (filling) often involves the patient lying down while the warm oil or ghee is carefully poured into the navel cavity and allowed to soak in for a specific duration (often 30-45 minutes). The therapist uses light, rhythmic, circular, and outward strokes around the navel to stimulate circulation, improve digestion, and release tension.
Radka is trained to put the oil on fire and it burns for 15 - 20 min. The abdominal area and the internal organs warm up and this brings a lot of health benefits.
Purpose: The practice is believed to allow the oils to be absorbed deep into the tissues via the navel area, balancing the Doshas (especially Vata and Pitta), and stimulating the vital energy channels.
Key Benefits Associated with Nabhi Purana/Abhyanga:
These practices focus on holistic well-being, but the main benefits are often targeted toward the digestive and emotional centers:
Improved Digestion: By stimulating Agni (digestive fire) and the abdominal organs, it is believed to help relieve issues like bloating, gas, indigestion, and constipation.
Balanced Energy & Emotions: The navel is linked to the Manipura Chakra, which governs self-esteem and emotions. Oiling and massaging this area is thought to promote emotional balance, reduce stress and anxiety, and calm the nervous system (Vata Dosha).
Relief from Discomfort: It can be beneficial for alleviating abdominal pain, cramps (including menstrual cramps), and general abdominal discomfort.
Enhanced Skin Health: The oils are absorbed to nourish and moisturize the skin, sometimes helping with issues like dry lips or promoting a healthy glow.
Detoxification: The massage and warmth are thought to stimulate blood circulation and aid in the release of accumulated toxins (Ama).
In summary, Nabi Purana Massage is a core component of Ayurvedic therapy that focuses on the profound importance of the navel as an energetic and physical center of the body.
