A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME

My name is Ula Kakareko. For over 8 years I have been massaging and working with the body through touch, breath and mindfulness. I specialize in fascial massage, which I combine with understanding emotions and psychological processes stored in the body.

For 5 years I have been running fascial massage workshops, and for 3 years I have organized Panchakarma trips to Sri Lanka — an Ayurvedic, deeply cleansing program. I have trained over 200 people.

In my work and teaching I emphasize the comfort of the person giving the session, clear communication and psychological aspects of massage. I believe a safe relationship is the foundation of an effective session and learning process.

I completed a one-year Gestalt psychotherapy course and a six-month body psychotherapy program using Lowen's method. I have attended over 50 workshops in bodywork, massage, sexology, anatomy, POP psychotherapy and breathwork.
