Daisy will listen carefully to your wishes . She will adjust the sound massage to suit your specific needs. If you opt for more than one massage session with Daisy, she will track your progress to get you the gains that you have been looking for. Sound Massage, a scientifically recognised method used as a complementary treatment for relaxation and maintaining one’s well-being. Our sessions are not designed to diagnose, cure, or treat. Instead, they are focused on relaxation with sound and vibrations, which will provide support for your overall health. What is Sound Massage? A sound massage is not a massage in the traditional sense of the term. You will not be given a hands-on massage. It is called like this because the vibration of the therapeutic singing bowls gently massages our body from the outside and the inside. The sound massage evokes the feeling of being touched through the vibrations. It evaporates stress and calms your senses.
