Lalla has recently returned from Kerala in southwestern India, and is available for consultation in Montisi. She offers massage in the shade of a tree, by the side of a swimming pool, or wherever you feel is right for you. Tel: +39-334-1829270 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Reiki Ryoho
How about a relaxing and regenerating Reiki treatment in a beautiful, vaulted stable overlooking the valley? Reiki Ryoho is a natural hands-on healing method which promotes holistic health and well-being by gently rebalancing the body’s energy system. The Reiki energy, channeled by the practitioner’s hands, has a beneficial effect on all levels - physical, emotional and mental - whilst favoring a state of deep relaxation. A treatment lasts approximately 45 minutes.
