Share with a friend
Aurelia welcomes first-time clients with calm, personalized care, showing massage as a simple, restorative act of self-care.
A Gentle Welcome
When you walk into my studio here in Midtown Toronto, I want you to feel like you can finally exhale.
The light is soft, the air smells of essential oils, and the space itself invites you to slow down.
Your first massage is about comfort — not performance. I’ll take a few minutes to learn how you’ve been feeling, what’s tight or sore, and what you hope to get out of your session. Everything is personalized, because no two bodies hold tension in the same way.
During Your Treatment
I’ll check in about pressure and make sure you feel grounded from start to finish.
You don’t have to talk — unless you want to.
Sometimes the quiet does more healing than words.
Focus on your breathing; notice how your muscles begin to let go.
This time is yours.
After Your Massage
Afterwards, I’ll share a few gentle stretches or simple after-care tips to help you keep that feeling of ease.
You may feel lighter, more open, or even sleepy — that’s your nervous system settling.
If your body enjoyed the treatment, consider making massage part of your regular rhythm. Healing happens gradually, not in a single hour.

(Time magazine)- The TIME article “Are Massages Actually Good for You?” by Markham Heid summarizes research showing that massage therapy can ease muscle soreness, lower stress hormones, boost mood-regulating chemicals, and support immune function. Experts note it may also reduce pain and anxiety by stimulating pressure receptors and increasing vagal activity. While some studies find mixed evidence due to placebo challenges, most research supports that massage offers real physical and psychological health benefits.
