Dovile is a skilled and experienced massage therapist, who is an expert in finding sore muscles you didn't even know existed! She offers a friendly and professional service, listens attentively to any concerns, and tailors her massages accordingly each session. Highly recommended!
Dovile has a great manner and is very professional. I have massages every 6 weeks with her and it has really helped with any work related stresses and strains. For somebody who never really thought about how massage could improve my quality of life, I can’t imagine not having them now.
Dovile has been my massage therapist for several years (Queen Square and occasionally Picton street) and I am still happy to recommend her. Excellent massage skills of course, and Dovile is also attentive to pain signals and feedback, temperatures and lighting, which all contribute to a comfortable environment.
Had many different massages before and Doville was really great...very knowledgeable, understanding and attentive. Will happily be going back for more. My partner also had a pregnancy massage with her and very happy with it. Both looking forward to our next one.
Dovile is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and clearly enjoys learning as much as she can to support her practice. I trust her completely. She is easily the best massage therapist I’ve seen. I appreciate that she is evidence-based and tailors her technical skills to your individual needs in a way that is reassuring and relaxing without the “woo”. She’s also funny, which is nice.
I had my first ever pregnancy massage with Dovile this week and felt instantly at ease with her kind and attentive manner. I floated out of her treatment room feeling so relaxed and am still feeling the benefits a few days later. Dovile is really knowledgeable and even gave me some recommendations of how to set up my home so I'd feel more comfortable during pregnancy. She really went above and beyond. I've already booked in for my next session and have recommended Dovile to my other pregnant friends! Can't wait to visit again soon.
Dovile is a magnificent therapist. She is intuitive with her work and leaves me feeling so relaxed after sessions. I've suffered with a bad back since my teens years as I have scoliosis. Despite this, Dovile was able to give me rejuvenating and relaxing pre and post natal massages, and I leave sessions feeling like I'm in a new body! I wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Highly recommend.
Dovile is a wonderful Massage Therapist! She is so skilled and knowledgable, working and adapting her approach to suit you and what you need. She really supports you, and creates a space that you can feel safe and comfortable in. She always helps with whatever i bring to our sessions, be it to manage stress, or help with physical ailments and I would thoroughly recommend her without a hesitation! Thank you Dovile :)
As a massage therapist myself, I can be quite choosy about who I visit for my own treatments. I knew Dovile had done the hands-free massage course and knowing I like that style, I got in touch. Dovile made me feel very at ease and did a thorough consultation including a postural assessment. Her knowledge of the body really shone through and she knew just where to work on my back to ease out my mid-erector tension. I really enjoyed her touch and would come back again. Highly recommended!
The best massages! Dovile is incredibly professional and attentive, calm and welcoming, and has a real talent for her work. She made me feel at ease and really took the time to listen to my symptoms and tailored the treatment for me. As a result it was a thoroughly enjoyable and effective massage. I can't wait until the next one!
