​My Approach
With over 20 years of experience in physiotherapy — working in rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and private practice — I combine specialized techniques (traumatology, orthopedics, myofascial release, traditional Thai massage) with my background as a dancer and yoga practitioner.
This integration allows me to offer a holistic perspective: technical, embodied, and poetic.
​
Each treatment is unique, because every body is unique.
​
Your treatment journey
Each session is a full-body manual therapy treatment — an invitation to pause, release, and restore balance.
​
We work with fascial release, deep tissue massage, and gentle mobilization, adapting each session to your needs in the moment.
​
Sessions last 50 to 100 minutes, depending on what your body requires, and range from €60 to €100.
There’s time to slow down, integrate, and return to daily life with renewed ease — perhaps after a quiet cup of tea.
​
You’ll also receive simple guidance for home care, to support and extend the benefits of each session.​
Testimonies
Irene's massage is transformational. her hands are extremely sensitive, creating a very peaceful and caring environment to allow full body release and receptivity. I felt her hands weaving together new pathways in my body, created by a very light , quick and precise touch. The massage was a journey and a dance. I felt her touch dance with my sensations, unfolding a deep journey of self discover. By being met step by step I feel my shape more clearly.
R. Venturini (Neuroscientist)
Irene is one of the best mixes of excellent technique and intuition. Her massage left me deeply relaxed, moved, and rejuvenated. Her skills, care and professionalism make her one of the bes masseuses I've found in Lisbon, and believe me I've looked!

Body Care
Practices for the Care of the Body
An approach to the knowledge of our anatomy and the functioning of our body to acquire a deep body awareness that will allow us to develop the maximum performance of our musculoskeletal structure.
The goal of these practices is to get into a closer relationship with our body, to integrate healthy habits into our daily lives, to recover organic movement patterns and feel the pleasure of inhabiting a healthy, light and strong body.
The human body is a perfect machine to move with grace, lightness and harmony, in a simple and effortless way. We see it in children, spontaneous and pure. We grow in this western society, where the mind predominates and the lazy body loses its true mobility and potential, we misuse our body. The body is naturally healthy, there is no pain, there is no injury, there is no disease. We are going to recover this state of vitality and harmony by reencountering our anatomy in motion.
