Service: Massage
From my many visits to Lisbon, experiencing a massage with Raphaelle stands out each time. Her exceptional gift for healing goes beyond just a simple massage, offering something profoundly more. Despite my years of experience, Raphaelle's warmth and genuine care continue to energize me like no other therapist has.

Service: Hired Hanna for a Massage
I recently hired Hanna from Massage Therapy Lisbon for a massage, and I must say, the experience was fantastic. The ambiance of the room set the perfect tone with a comfortable temperature and a relaxing atmosphere. Hanna paid close attention to my needs, focusing on areas I pointed out while carefully avoiding my recently injured wrist. She displayed great knowledge and skill throughout the session, applying just the right amount of pressure where needed. I appreciated her checking in on my comfort levels and any allergies I might have had. Plus, punctuality is key for me, and she was very much on time. Left feeling completely relaxed; I'd definitely recommend her services!

Service: Provided relaxing professional massage in Lisbon studio
I was in Lisbon for an event and wanted a relaxing massage, and since I already knew Nuno online I took advantage of his service. Massage as a massage - a relaxing massage: warm, neat, like a professional, and I felt comfortable in the studio with very pleasant, unobtrusive music and everything clean. Communication was easy, he knows English and Portuguese, and even though I was a little late everything was fine. Price felt fair for a studio.

Service: 1-hour lymphatic facials
I've been getting my lymphatic facials from Lauren at Thula regularly, and she's fantastic. Her gentle touch and calming presence make every visit incredibly relaxing. Lauren is a pro at working around the face muscles, and I swear I look younger after each session with no puffiness in sight. My mom and friends also go to her when they're in town; we usually opt for the hour-long treatment. The salon itself is a haven of comfort, with a super cozy massage table, lovely scents, and spotless cleanliness. Scheduling is a breeze, Lauren is punctual every time, and honestly, given how great her service is, she could be charging more!

Service: Massage tailored to my needs
Monica at Monica Machado gave me a massage that was perfectly tailored to my needs. The ambiance of her space is wonderful – clean and inviting, which made the whole experience even more relaxing. She has an incredible knack for addressing sore points effectively. Honestly, she's the best massage therapist I've ever been to, and I always feel immediately great after our sessions.

Service: Catarina provided a massage therapy session focusing on shoulder and sciatic pain
I had a massage with Catarina that was a gift from my daughter at Christmas. She asked about my pains and focused on my shoulder and sciatic, and I left thinking it was worth it. The space was serene, pleasant, quiet, and clean, and she was kind, empathetic, and careful. There was a small delay because the room was still occupied, but she let me know right away so I could go a bit later, so it was fine.
