Swedish massage
Swedish is the classic massage: flowing strokes with light to medium pressure, made for a day that has been long.
It suits you if you want to switch off for an hour, if it is your first massage, or if you like a gentle touch. We work through the back, shoulders, arms, legs and feet, uncovering one area at a time under the sheet.
Sessions run from 30 to 90 minutes. Elda and Anjelica book both, evenings and Sundays included.
What happens
You tell us how firm you like it and any area to skip. A few minutes, before you lie down.
We step out while you get comfortable, face down or face up, covered. A knock tells us when you are ready.
Back, shoulders, arms, legs, feet. Each is uncovered while we work it and covered again before we move on.
We leave a few minutes at the end so you can take your time getting up. Water is on the table.
We ask at the start, check halfway through and change it whenever you say. Swedish is usually light to medium.
Yes. A sheet stays over you, and only the part we are working on is uncovered.
Come as you are. You undress only as far as you like, and we work around whatever you keep on.
If you are pregnant, have a health condition or take a medicine, ask your doctor before you book. We do not diagnose.
