You can simply BE

The Auvo Brain Relief® method was developed in Finland in the 2000s by Mr. Jouko Kivimetsä. It combines millennia of Asian and Finnish contact, pressing, massage, and relaxation techniques, with new insights.

The treatments itself does not intend to treat any ailment or illness. The goal is deep relaxation, and the consequences for the body and mind are always individual.

You do not need to do anything during the treatment. You can just be.

You can rest on the massage table on your back throughout the treatment to maximize the relaxation effect. You can wear regular daywear, preferably a simple t-shirt, casual pants, and thin socks. Please take off any earrings, necklaces, and bracelets before the treatment.

Treatments cover the head, face, shoulder and neck area, hands, and feet. They include a wide range of different kinds of touches, from gentle and light to some that create the most pleasant cold shivers; petting, pressing, holding, rubbing, massaging, gentle wiping, scratching, etc. All are gentle, soft, pleasant, and many particularly slow.

Carefully selected music is an essential part of the treatment. The music supports the effect of the treatment, and the touches and the progression of the treatment is integrated into the music. The customer may wish to request silence if they feel it is more relaxing. There is no discussion during the actual treatment.

Both treatments enhance the metabolism and fluid circulation in the body, so drink plenty of water on the day of treatment to avoid headaches or malaise.
