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.

Modalities drawn on

  • PreNatal
  • Swedish
  • Rolfing
  • Myofascial
  • Craniosacral
  • Shiatsu
  • Deep Tissue
  • Maxillofacial (jaw)
60 minutes
€120

All sessions are bespoke and adapted to your needs, goals, and comfort level. Barters welcome.

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.
