My name is Catarina and I am an Ayurvedic massage therapist, Yoga and Aerial Yoga teacher, and a mother who is passionate about travelling and art.
I graduated in photography and find in art a profound expression of my view of the world. Since 2001, I have specialised in various massage techniques and body therapies, integrating ancestral knowledge into my holistic approach, dedicating my work to the care and well-being of women.
In recent years, I have focused on teaching Aerial Yoga and Vinyasa Flow, combining strength, elegance and harmony in my classes. Since 2020, I have created and led the Teacher Training Aerial Vinyasa Yoga with Elements and the Training Restorative and Yin Aerial Yoga, training teachers with an innovative and structured approach.
In addition, I have been working with breathwork for two years, deepening the connection between body, mind and breath for integral well-being.
As a woman, mother, student and teacher, I honour the wisdom of the feminine in all its phases. My Vinyasa Yoga classes, also with the support of fabric, are an invitation to women who wish to reconnect with their body, their strength and their deepest essence. The classes are a refuge where we move together, in harmony with nature, awakening vital energy and cultivating serenity.
Ayurvedic and Intuitive Massage is a unique experience that harmonises body, mind and spirit. With deep touches and intuitive movements, I integrate the wisdom of Ayurvedic massage into the present moment, adapting each gesture to your needs. Sometimes I use fabric as support, creating fluidity, lightness and sustenance, guiding the body in gentle stretches and releases. More than a massage, it is an invitation to balance, presence and reconnection with your essence.
I feel Lua as a meeting place where we can nourish the body, calm the mind and expand the heart, always in tune with the cycle of life and ancestral wisdom.
Ayurvedic Massage
Ayurvedic Massage is a unique experience that harmonizes body, mind, and spirit. Through deep touch and intuitive movements, I integrate the wisdom of Ayurvedic massage into the present moment, tailoring every gesture to your specific needs. At times, I use a fabric sling for support—creating a sense of fluidity, lightness, and stability—while guiding the body through gentle stretches and releases. More than just a massage, it is an invitation to balance, presence, and reconnection with your essence.
Intuitive Massage & Inversion Therapy
This unique experience combines intuitive massage, conscious breathing, and inversion using an aerial fabric sling, fostering a profound state of relaxation and physical and emotional release.
The session begins on the floor with mindful touch, gentle stretching, and myofascial release. You then gradually transition to the aerial fabric sling, where inversion facilitates spinal decompression, joint stretching, and the opening of inner space. We conclude with the body resting within the sling, enveloped in a sense of safety, lightness, and silence.
Benefits:
– Relief from muscle and joint tension.
– Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system (deep relaxation).
– Spinal decompression; emotional and energetic release; encouragement of conscious breathing.
– A sense of lightness, alignment, and reconnection—a fusion of touch, suspension, and presence where the body finds its own space.
