Focused, hands-on bodywork to release tension, ease stiffness and help you move more freely

Hi, I'm Urtė.

Originally from Lithuania. My family and I have spent the last few years traveling the world, offering myofascial massage sessions along the way. We're currently based in Bulgaria.

What is fascia?

Fascia is connective tissue that surrounds and connects your muscles and other structures, forming one continuous network throughout the body.

Why work with fascia?

When a muscle feels tight or stuck, working on the muscle alone isn't always enough. Myofascial massage also works with the surrounding fascial tissue — helping release tightness in the tissue and create more space for the muscles to relax and move freely.

Why isn't the work always where you feel it?

The body is interconnected, and areas of tension can influence how other parts of the body move and feel. So if your shoulder feels tight, for example, the work might extend to related areas elsewhere in the body. This is one reason myofascial massage can feel different from a typical massage.

What does the massage feel like?

Sessions are slow and focused, sometimes fairly deep — but never something you have to endure. Pressure is adjusted to you. At times, you may be asked to gently move a part of your body while the massage continues, as part of the work.

I'm an architect by training. Perhaps that's why I've always been interested not only in individual things, but in how they connect and work together as a whole.

My interest in the human body and healthy living didn't start with massage. For more than 15 years, my husband and I have explored different ways of understanding how everyday choices affect how we feel and live. Along the way, we've tried many different approaches — from simple daily habits to more extreme experiments, different ways of eating, fasting, breathing techniques, meditation and other practices. Some worked for us, some didn't. What mattered most was learning to observe, experiment and understand what actually works for me.

Yoga later became an important part of that journey. While traveling around the world, I spent time in Rishikesh, India, where I studied Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, as well as sound therapy and Ayurveda. I completed Hatha Yoga teacher training and became a certified teacher.

Over time, my curiosity shifted increasingly towards the physical body — anatomy, fascia, posture, massage and different ways of working with the body and face.

I studied with Marina Shpak, a Lithuanian beauty and wellness specialist and creator of massage techniques. I completed her professional training courses Kosmetologija 360° (Cosmetology 360°), Kūno architektai (Body Architects), Veido kodas (Face Code) and Anatomija profesionalams (Anatomy for Professionals). The courses combined theory and hands-on practice, with a strong focus on anatomy, myofascial principles and understanding the connections between different parts of the body.

What fascinates me is seeing these connections in practice, with different people and in different situations. Every body is different, yet again and again, the same underlying principles reveal themselves — the way different parts of the body are connected, how tension can be felt in one place while the work begins somewhere else, and how posture can affect both how we feel and how we look.

Alongside this, my experience with yoga has taught me to pay close attention to movement and breathing. Bringing these different experiences together gives me a broader understanding of how the body moves, holds tension and responds to touch — and helps me approach each person as an individual rather than applying the same technique to everyone.

I am currently based in Bulgaria, in the Veliko Tarnovo / Gabrovo region.
