Receiving a massage does more than just relax the body. There are specific physiological and psychological changes that occur, even more so when massage is utilized as a preventive, frequent therapy and not simply a mere luxury.
But massage does not “cure” anybody; massage helps to bring positive change to the body so that it can heal itself and/or better cope with the stress caused by a condition.
It is a holistic and preventative treatment that can maintain tissue health by increasing its circulation, supplying nutrition, increasing drainage – thereby removing wastes – and decreasing pain. Therapeutic massage can maintain general health by decreasing stress and stress-related hormones thus maintaining the function of our immune system and decreasing the chance of stress-imposed diseases and conditions.
The most popular benefit of massage is that it is both relaxing and invigorating. It is an excellent way to help rid the body of tension and to achieve a sense of overall well-being.
Kaulike Massage
I was trained in a range of massage techniques (see list below) that form the basis of my approach to bodywork. I do not offer all of them on their own, however, have incorporated bits and pieces into Kaulike Massage – my own signature treatment at Meyberg Massages. With touch, rhythm, sound and focused attention I aim to gently communicate with the deeper body and subconscious mind to take my recipient on a naturally occurring trance-like journey, and each massage ends up as a unique experience for me and for you as a receiver.
Kaulike is mostly influenced by Kahuna Massage and works not only on the physical body but also on the emotional and energetic body. For this reason, emotions often come up. It is encouraged that you welcome and allow any emotions to surface. It is only what we allow ourselves to feel that we can release and heal.
Due to the soothing touch and long flowing strokes crossing meridian lines so often, it is quite common to easily fall into the alpha brain state drifting in and out of dreamy vision. You may experience anything from absolute joy, right through to deep emotional breakthroughs, healing energy and positive, empowering physical and emotional shifts. You may simply feel totally nurtured and loved; you may have an awareness come to mind about your life; you may have a lovely vision of being in a beautiful place in nature, or you may release long-held emotions that have been locked into muscles.
Your experience will depend entirely on your intention for the treatment and your willingness to go on the journey your body takes you. Be assured that I have been through enough tears on tables to be able to handle the situation with care and respect, yet allowing the process to flow.
I always attune the massage as needed and treat every client with unconditional openness and understanding. Come to Meyberg Massages to experience the true transformation for yourself! (Get a voucher for this massage for yourself or someone you love here in my shop) Top
Kahuna Massage
The age-old healing art of Hawaiian Kahuna massage is a unique, flowing, energetically vibrant yet deeply relaxing whole-body massage. I use my hands and forearms in long fluid strokes of varying intensity and rhythm up and down and all around the body. The energy of the four elements, Earth, Fire, Wind and Water are brought into the session with sounding and rhythm of the hand movements.
The session also incorporates stretches, under-body work, deep tissue techniques and rhythmic music. The energising effects of these stimulating movements and creative techniques are combined with clear healing intent and invocations for positive transformation on all levels. The radiant quality of Kahuna touch communicates love, awareness, balance and compassion. It is the supportive touch that we long for, inspiring clarity and confidence that liberates us from the stresses of life and confirms the body-minds expectation of what unconditional loving touch really is.
Some of the benefits are that it boosts the immune, circulatory and digestive systems and also improves muscle tone. Being totally nurtured and supported also allows for the surrender of chronically held physical and emotional tension – stress and negative emotions give way to joy, trust and openheartedness and you reach an inner state of self-realization similar to that attained in deep meditation. Every treatment is different.
Anyone of any age or background can experience a Kahuna massage. For the best effect and comfort with the long dance-like strokes, it is suggested to remove all clothing. In this regard, I want to stress that I do NOT massage the erogenous zones and there will always be a modesty cloth or towel covering the groin area. As I do massage the stomach and chest (NOT breasts) it is suggested to uncover the upper part of the body but this is not a must.
You may undress to the level that you feel comfortable.

Chi Nei Tsang
Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is an ancient Taoist abdominal massage technique that promotes physical and emotional healing by focusing on the internal organs. This method strengthens, detoxifies, and restructures the body, with an emphasis on the abdomen, including the organs and intestines. By stimulating these internal systems, CNT improves the functioning of the lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems, while also enhancing immune response and circulation.In the long term, it can help with weight loss; however, that is not its main aim. Rather, this unique massage targets physical symptoms such as digestive disorders, musculoskeletal pain, and reproductive health, while also addressing the deep-seated emotional tensions often stored in the digestive system.
CNT treatments aim to release energy blockages and stagnant emotions that can hinder overall well-being. The body retains information from traumatic experiences, particularly in the abdominal region, and CNT helps release this stored energy, fostering emotional balance and growth. Unlike other therapies that focus on surface-level healing, CNT is designed to promote awareness of the internal organs, allowing the body to heal itself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It is a transformative method suitable for those seeking comprehensive health improvement but is not recommended for individuals who have undergone recent abdominal surgery, are pregnant, or menstruating. Sessions last around 90 minutes, and it’s advised not to eat a big meal for 12 hours before the treatment and not more than a snack two hours before to maximize its benefits. Top
Singing Bowl Sound Therapy
Tibetan Bowl Sound Therapy is profoundly relaxing. During the session, Tibetan Sound Bowls will be placed on or held above your body. When played, they send waves of vibration throughout your body harmonizing every cell.
The beautiful sounds produced by the Tibetan Bowls also have a hypnotic effect on the brain, slowing brain waves and inducing a deep meditative state.
Because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes, sound can also redress imbalances and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder. (Get a voucher for this massage for yourself or someone you love here in my shop) Top
Shakti Worship Massage (Tantra)
I don’t see myself as a $ex-worker at all, even if the feather-light touch can often be very sensual, to the point that I have induced orgasms without even touching the genita!s. And I allow space for that as well and hold no judgement. My massages set free life force energies and nothing is taboo or frowned upon, yet, I want to make it clear that my work is NOT aimed at er0tic pleasure seekers. My intention is always healing and holding empathetic space.
Shakti Worship Massage (my version of Tantra massage) (for Ladies only!), – a massage where I do include the genita!s – can also be called sensual massage. But what is sensuality? In the true sense of the word, sensuality means sensorial sensitivity. With Shakti Worship Massage I honour your inner goddess and seek to help you rediscover your sensorial sensitivity, to rediscover the capacity to enjoy the pleasure of the senses. It is important not to mistake sexual excitation for sensuality. Sensual massage opens the gates of the sensorial universe. This is why it needs to be considered and experienced from the correct point of view.
During a Shakti Worship Massage, you are given time to explore your body without goals. Shakti Worship Massage adds energy healing to the ecstasy of receiving a nurturing and awakening sensual massage. It creates an environment in which you can release stress and feel more alive in your body while staying fully present in your sexual energy. Shakti Worship Massage is the art of being sensually in your body not in your head.
In this very caring ceremony, you will be completely nurtured and pampered, giving you a seamless blend of stress relief with intense full-body bliss for your ultimate stress-melting satisfaction.
Your entire body will be massaged, including all sensual and erogenous zones. The sexual energy may rise and fall during the massage. Allowing these peaks and valleys to happen without trying to control them is beautiful and very tantric.
A Shakti Worship Massage is an emotional and spiritual journey of touch; a celebration of being alive. It is an opportunity to simply receive.
For those who are open to enjoying and receiving a gentle, loving and caring treatment the benefits can be enormous. (Please Note – Available for ladies only. Although nudity is involved on the client’s side, this is a reputable ritual and not to be confused with a ‘Happy Ending’ massage! Shakti Worship Massage is about the journey, not just the end. Please contact me directly to discuss and book this modality.)

Swedish Massage
The most common type of bodywork in a spa is Swedish Massage therapy. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish massages can be both relaxing and energizing. A session lasts for 45 to 60 minutes and addresses most major muscle groups of the body.
With Swedish sessions, I can target specific areas of pain like a sprained ankle or stiff shoulder, or help manage the chronic pain that comes with conditions like arthritis.
By using strokes that improve circulation and increase body-wide relaxation, the massage can help make many painful conditions more bearable. The long strokes toward the heart drain metabolic waste from the limbs of the body and other strokes like cross-fibre friction work out the kinks that can accompany injured muscles. These strokes help get rid of scar tissue and return the muscles to their normal, relaxed, healthy state. (Get a voucher for this massage for yourself or someone you love here in my shop) Top
Non-judgmental Listening
I am not a coach or psychologist but sometimes you might just plain need someone to listen to you. I promise an open ear and an honest response. No theme or question is taboo or too embarrassing. If it bugs you it needs to come out. Don’t let an issue or question become toxic. I might not have all the answers, but voicing the issue is already cleansing. In my studio, you will have a safe environment to let it all out. (Please contact me directly to add this to a massage appointment.) Top
