Treatments
Attentive, responsive touch working with what your body is actually holding. The areas that ache, the places where tension has settled. This relaxation massage works through your muscles to create genuine ease, meeting your body's signals rather than following a fixed routine. Pressure and pace respond to what you need in the moment.
This treatment offers numerous benefits, such as improving blood circulation, reducing waste buildup, and relieving stress. It also boosts energy, tones muscles and skin, and supports digestion. As a revitalizing therapy, holistic massage promotes both mental and physical relaxation, accelerates recovery, breaks down adhesions, and lowers blood pressure. Furthermore, it improves posture and helps prevent insomnia, making it an effective holistic solution for overall health and well-being.

Furthermore, it improves posture and helps prevent insomnia, making it an effective holistic solution for overall health and well-being.
Exceptionally light, rhythmic touch designed to support your body's natural fluid movement and promote a feeling of general lightness, ease, and relaxation. This gentler approach is ideal if regular massage feels too intense, or if you're returning to bodywork after a long time.
A tailored combination of massage and Reiki, responsive to what the body needs in the moment. This session unfolds at your pace, meeting you exactly where you are. For the massage portion, you can choose between regular relaxation massage or lighter lymphatic bodywork.
Focused, restorative energy work. Clients remain fully clothed throughout. Light hand placements, or hands held just above the body, create the conditions for the nervous system to settle into genuine rest.
Focused, restorative energy work over live video call. You receive the session in real time from your own comfortable space at home. Focused presence and intention transmit regardless of distance.
To maintain personal connection and provide a focused, intentional space for your session, I work directly with you in a live virtual meeting via Jitsi Meet (link provided upon booking).
How it works: We will connect briefly via video call to set our intentions and ground into the space. Afterward, you’ll turn your camera off, lie down comfortably wherever you are, and rest while I perform a full treatment—exact to the standard and focus I would give you from my studio in Cork. Once you purchase your session, you will receive your secure join link directly in your confirmation email.
A note on consent: Because personal consent and active engagement are foundational to this work, I require that all sessions be booked directly by the individual receiving the treatment.
I understand that there are unique life circumstances where a live video call with the receiver isn't possible, or where the receiver cannot express their intention to receive Reiki. If you are hoping to arrange a session under these specific circumstances, please reach out to me directly before booking so we can discuss it first.
Find a quiet room, dim the lights, and gift yourself 30 minutes of intentional stillness.

Essence Unfolding - Weekly 1-Hour Distance Reiki Circle - 6 October 2026
. Duration:1 hr··. Price:€20
*** PLEASE NOTE: This is a virtual event via Google Meet. You will find your join link in your confirmation email. Bookings can be cancelled for a full refund up to 48 hours before the event; no refunds are given after that. ***
Essence Unfolding is a weekly circle of distance Reiki. No experience required — come as you are, settle into stillness, and receive.
Every Tuesday at 8:00 pm (Irish time), a group gathers from wherever they happen to be — a bedroom in another country, a sofa after a long day — to receive Reiki together. This is a drop-in circle: come every week, come once, come only when you need it.
Find a comfortable, quiet spot where you won't be disturbed for 60 minutes. We'll meet briefly on Zoom to connect and set our intentions, then turn cameras off — you'll lie comfortably in your own space and rest while I facilitate the energy work.
Distance Reiki works on the same principle as an in-person session: energy isn't bound by physical proximity, so you can receive Reiki without being in the same room — or the same country.
What to expect: a sense of ease settling into the body, a quieting of mental noise, and space for whatever wants to surface and soften. Some people fall asleep. Some feel very little in the moment and notice the effects later.
€20 per person, per session. Spaces limited — early booking recommended.
Held by a practitioner with a decade in meditative and energy practice, trained in Reiki Usui.

About
Hello, my name is Lavinia.
I offer attentive care to those carrying chronic tension, navigating burnout, or simply needing a quiet space to unwind and recalibrate.
I hold professional certifications in holistic massage, lymphatic drainage massage, aromatherapy, and Usui Reiki. I weave these together with a trauma-informed approach, grounded in the reality that mind and body are inseparable, offering you a session tailored specifically to what you need.
My approach to wellness is bottom-up. For me, massage and Reiki are embodied practices capable of supporting psychophysical wellbeing. They work with and through the body, but the actual goal lies in gradually reaching a deeper sense of inner balance. This approach informs all my work.

I’m really happy with my massage. I left feeling like all my tension had melted away. it was such a nice feeling that lasted all day and helped me sleep so well!
- Andrew·
I just had my fourth treatment with Lavinia, and every visit has been such a wonderful experience. She has a way of making you feel so comfortable and at ease. She’s professional but also very easygoing, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is so calming and peaceful, and I always leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and so much lighter. I can’t recommend her enough!
