El Masaje Californiano
Experience an authentic California-style massage in Palma de Mallorca
Main Content
Welcome to El Masaje Californiano
“California massage” is a style originating from Esalen Institute, a pioneering holisitic well-being center based in Big Sur, California.
California massage is a healing art, an inward journey for both the client and the massage practitioner. It is an integrative, holistic, technique that includes long massage strokes, a slow pace, pauses, and conscious breathing. It is deeply calming to the nervous system and physically relaxing, as the body and mind are one. The rhythm of the massage strokes is metaphorically like the waves in the Pacific Ocean that roll in to the shore, pause, and roll back to the sea.
The intention of California massage is that the client returns to a natural state of balance and alignment, an energetic re-balance, and leaves the session with a renewed sense of well-being and calm.
El Masajista
I am John, and I am from California.
I began my massage training at Esalen Institute in 2017, and continue to study and practice in Mallorca, with Spazio Masajes where I received my Certification.
I express massage as the healing art that it is, as an expression of energetic and physical connection to the client.
I apply the principles of mindfulness to bodywork, offering an integrative mind-body-spirit experience to the client on the massage table.
My practice of massage is a continuation of life-long practices in physical and energetic movement including decades of surfing, karate, tai-chi, chi-gong, yoga, dance, and energetic healing.
El Estudio
The massage studio is a private room in a modern townhome in central Palma de Mallorca, on Calle Blanquerna, the beautiful, tree-lined, pedestrian street.
The massage studio is quiet, with wooden floors, high beamed ceilings, and natural sunlight. The studio is a private room where the client can hang clothes and keep personal items during the massage. As part of the massage experience, the client is covered with a cotton sheet, and receives a massage with organic almond oil, while meditative music plays in the background.
Please be aware that new clients are accepted by invitation or personal referral only.
