Bespoke therapeutic massage · Malahide & Howth
Every Body Tells a Story
Belonging to the Apushana clan of the Wayuu tribe in Venezuela and descending from a long line of healing women, Flor has come to Dublin, Ireland as an experienced, US Licensed Massage therapist dedicated to providing a bespoke therapeutic massage experience.
Approach
No single technique fits every body.
Rather than relying on a single technique, different modalities are available during each session to best facilitate an effective and lasting release from tension.
Flor views health as a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Each session is tailored to your needs, supporting long-term wellbeing rather than just short-term relief.
Treatments
Three ways of working.
Sessions are booked by time, not by technique — what the hour holds is decided together at the start.
Therapeutic Massage
Hands-on work at whatever depth the body will accept that day, drawing on several modalities within the one session.
See modalitiesCranioSacral Therapy
Light, sustained contact at the head, spine, and sacrum. Quiet work, often used where deeper pressure is not wanted.
See modalitiesButeyko Breathing
Breath retraining taught as a practice you take home — for over-breathing, disturbed sleep, and tension that keeps returning.

About Flor
A licence earned in America, an instinct inherited at home.
“Our caste name, Apushana (meaning vulture) was a source of pride, as the vulture is the only bird with no predator.”
Flor followed her brother to the University of Pennsylvania. Years later she booked a massage, was so impressed with how effective it was that she asked the therapist if she could apprentice with him, and three months on enrolled to obtain her licence and grow her own practice. She moved from the United States to Ireland in 2008.
