This man in his 40s came to my space for the first time, seeking relaxation.
Strong, overweight, and according to him, he ate and drank very well.
It was a turbulent conversation. Whenever the topic became serious and he didn't like it, he would joke and change the subject.
This client, in his 40s, came in for a moment of relaxation.
What was surprising in this case was that he drank quite a lot of water on some days. Normally, when I ask clients whether they drink water, many say they don't like it, others forget to drink, and others say that whenever they do drink water they end up spending their life in the bathroom, or that their feet swell because of it.
This man, in his 40s, came in to relax for a while. He had some extra weight, mostly around the belly, and looked quite exhausted.
During our conversation, he mentioned he had been going to bed very late and getting up early, since his phone would start ringing first thing in the morning. He drank less than 1 liter of water a day, when he drank any at all. Weighing around 90 kg, he should have been drinking about 3 times that amount, especially considering he also drank coffee, which on its own contributes to dehydration.
This man, in his 40s, came in for the first time. A friend had recommended me, and today he finally decided to come.
He had slept badly the night before, and for the past 15 days had been extremely anxious and on edge, waking up several times during the night. He arrived tired, worn out, and in urgent need of relaxing.
This client, in his 50s, had visited me once before, a few years earlier. He was back in Portugal and, feeling the need to relax, booked a new session.
The scheduling was quite confusing, with several calls, messages, and changes, only for everything to end up exactly as it had been in the first phone call. I sensed something wasn't quite right.
This man, in his 50s, came in for the first time. He seemed a bit uncomfortable, shy, and somewhat self-conscious.
After our initial conversation, I learned he was on a diet, had already lost 18 kg, and still had a bit more to lose. He also had back issues, some stiffness, and poor blood circulation, with darker skin near the ankles.
This man, in his 60s, came in for a massage. He had suffered a stroke some time before and, despite physiotherapy, still hadn't regained full mobility on his left side.
Our initial conversation was a bit disjointed, perhaps from the nervousness of being there for the first time, or a reflection of his more fragile health.
This man, in his 40s, came in for the first time. It was a Sunday, and his back was in a lot of pain. He explained that he had bent down toward the floor, grabbed onto something, and twisted his lower back, feeling pain immediately.
This man, in his 40s, came in for a massage. He had a fairly large belly and, over the course of our conversation, I learned he didn't exercise at all.
The first time I met him, we had a long conversation, mostly about sexual health, which naturally ties closely into overall health.
The massage helped him relax, and this gentleman, in his 40s, left with a promise that, the next time he came, he'd bring me something related to what we had talked about.
