THE ALCHEMY OF CARE

Massage treatments to soothe, fortify & uplift you.

RELEASE tension, pain & stress.

RESTORE your power.

TRANSFORM your wellbeing.

GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF CARE

Iremia - named after the Greek word for ‘Serenity’ - is a professional massage therapy studio in Glasgow.

I help people struggling with health and wellbeing challenges - including stress, chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, PTSD, anxiety and low mood - find relief in body and mind.

Regular clients experience a richer quality of life as a result of our work together, often manifesting as returning to activities they love, sleeping better, having fewer symptom flare-ups, and moving through their days with less discomfort and greater presence, calm and clarity.

MY APPROACH

I aim to build collaborative relationships with clients, understanding your unique needs and preferences, rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. I view body and mind as interconnected, with your history, habitual patterns, environment, and emotions all influencing your experience of life and your wellbeing. This approach allows me to offer truly individualised advice and treatments that integrate techniques from multiple disciplines to not only treat symptoms, but also support transformation, long-term healing and resilience.

In my alchemy of care, I employ a blend of Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Aromatherapy, Herbalism & Breathwork for a truly holistic approach.

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY

I believe that with the right support and self-commitment, people can overcome challenges and navigate life’s inevitables ups and down with greater meaning, ease and fortitude. Whether you're seeking relief from specific pain or simply need a safe space to restore and recharge, I invite you to discover what regular therapeutic massage can do for your overall wellbeing.

Book your first session today and take a step toward sustainable, transformative self-care.

    “Eleni is an amazing therapist who takes relaxation and wellbeing to a different level. With her detailed exploration of your needs and breathing exercises prior to main treatment (on a super comfy heated table) she manages to melt away those aches and pains. Her home brew detox tea post treatment is delicious, and I have always walked away relaxed and rejuvenated.”

    “Had the best massage of my life with Eleni today. From the moment she welcomed me in I felt instantly relaxed and at peace. I’ve had many massages and this one topped them all.

    “Iremia provides a complete sensory experience. The ambience is calming and the massage is relaxing and thoughtful. Eleni focuses on what your body needs. Her massage helps to alleviate stresses and tightness. I fell asleep during both my treatments, which, to me, is a sign of a great massage. Highly recommend!”

    “Eleni was warm, welcoming and professional. The room was cosy and more comfortable than the average massage room and the massage itself was done with great skill and care. I have already recommended Eleni to all my friends.”

  • ★★★★★

    “Had my first, beautiful full-body massage today from Eleni, it was deeply relaxing yet really worked out a lot of tension. Eleni’s touch is very comfortable and intuitive, and she put me at ease straight away. Also encouraged me to pay attention to my breathing which enhanced the experience. In all, a wonderful treat. Thank you so much!”

    Fiona

  • ★★★★★

    “Eleni was excellent, welcoming and considerate and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. I left feeling light and happy as I was well looked after and I'll be going back soon! She is very experienced and was checking in with me at times so the pressure was ideal and she focused on areas that I needed, so I'm very happy about the overall treatment. I've also had a recent injury and Eleni was very mindful of that and careful throughout the session. Eleni has created a wonderful space with beautiful plants so I was able to let go and relax to make the most of the session. Highly recommend!”

    Liz K.

  • ★★★★★

    “A wonderful experience in peaceful surroundings. More than just a massage. Eleni started with a consultation to identify any areas of concern. This was followed by a few minutes of breath work, which I had not done before, but found very helpful in putting me in a tranquil state for the full body massage, including face. It was easily the most relaxing message I’ve ever had. Felt so chilled at the end of it, an overwhelming sense of calm. Eleni was attentive throughout, checking that the pressure was OK etc. I also received a herbal tea blend to take away with me. Highest recommendation!”

RESTORATIVE MASSAGE TREATMENTS

A Time for Tranquility (1 hr 15 min)

Enter a place of calm and release the pressures of everyday life. Whether you are looking to simply unwind or to get help with a challenge - acute or chronic - this is a good starting point.

This treatment can be a lighter full body massage, or one exclusively targeting areas that are very tense and can use some extended TLC, e.g. back, neck and shoulders.

A Time for Bliss (1 hr 45 min)

An extended treatment to melt away all tension, pain and worry for those who could use some extra attention and care to boost their wellbeing.

In this longer treatment you will get the opportunity to have more in-depth work on a particularly tense/painful area done, while still having time to receive a full body massage for general relaxation. Or, if you’d prefer, we can only focus on areas that feel most important to you. All my treatments are completely tailored to what you need on any given day!

MEET YOUR THERAPIST

Hello, I am Eleni.

I am a qualified massage therapist, artist and lifelong explorer of consciousness, with a focus on its underpinning interconnection between body, mind and spirit. 

I hold a degree in Psychology, a field I continue to educate myself in, while also engaging with diverse disciplines, including, but not limited to, neuroscience, metaphysics, herbalism, nutrition, breathwork and meditation. As a result, I champion a multidisciplinary, holistic and artful approach as a path to health, evolution and a good quality of life.

My interest in massage began as a way to manage chronic pain and trauma-related mental health challenges. I believe that applied care is a key catalyst to the healing and ongoing health of an organism. It is this alchemy of care through the blend of effective therapeutic methods and human connection that I wish to bring to the world through Iremia.

I know what is like to be struggling, having your ability to live a fulfilling and healthy life challenged. I wish to help others dealing with mental health & physical challenges that impact their quality of life & relationship to themselves, feel empowered to thrive. My intention is to provide the healing space and treatments for you to find the respite, comfort, connection and support necessary to flourish.

I look forward to meeting you and working together.

Your Questions, Answered!

  • What can massage help with?

    Massage therapy can help with a wide range of physical and emotional challenges, providing relief for both body and mind. From back pain and muscle tension to anxiety and sleep problems, massage offers effective treatment for numerous conditions including:

    - Back, neck, and shoulder pain

    - Muscle tension and stiffness

    - Stress, anxiety, low mood and nervous system dysregulation

    - Sleep difficulties and insomnia

    - Sports injuries and recovery

    - Headaches and migraines

    - Poor posture and desk-related tension

    - Joint mobility and flexibility issues

    - Chronic pain conditions

    - Pregnancy-related discomfort

    - Fatigue and low energy levels

    - General wellness and prevention

    Whether you're seeking relief from a specific condition or want to maintain your overall wellbeing, massage can be a powerful tool in your journey.

    During your consultation, we'll discuss your needs and create a treatment plan tailored to your goals.

  • Will it hurt? Does it have to hurt in order to work?

    Possibly - but absolutely NO, it doesn't have to hurt to work!

    Here's the deal: everyone's pain threshold is different, and it can change day to day. I’m a big believer in good communication and will check in with you throughout your treatment to make sure the pressure feels right, especially when doing deeper and more targeted work.

    I’m also a big believers in proper warm-up (no diving straight into deep work - that just annoys your muscles!). While you might feel some tenderness during treatment, many clients describe it as a 'good' sensation - more like a release rather than pain they're trying to endure.

    Here's my golden rule: if you catch yourself holding your breath or bracing, tell me immediately! That's a sign we're in counterproductive territory and need to ease off.

    Let me bust a myth: 'no pain, no gain' is totally outdated and frankly dangerous. When your body is tensing up and bracing against sharp pain, it's actually working against the massage’s purpose which is to relax them. Sure, some people love that post-pain endorphin rush and think it means the massage 'worked' - but I think the risk of doing damage outweighs that!

    My approach? I work with your body's tolerance, earning your muscles' trust rather than trying to beat them into submission. I absolutely do deep work, but it doesn't have to feel like torture!

    Bottom line: your comfort and body autonomy are my top priorities. Just say the word, and I'll adjust my pressure or technique (I've got plenty up my sleeve!) to keep you comfortable while still giving you amazing results.

  • I am pregnant. Can I receive massage?

    Yes! Pregnancy massage can be wonderfully beneficial, but we do need to take some special precautions.

    You will need to wait until after your first trimester. After that, I'll use specialised positioning and techniques to keep you and your baby safe and comfortable. I have supportive cushions and can work with you in side-lying positions.

    Massage during pregnancy can help with:

    - Back and hip pain

    - Swollen ankles and legs

    - Sleep difficulties

    - Stress and anxiety

    - General tension and discomfort

  • I can’t lie on my front/back. Can I still have a massage?

    Definitely! I have plenty of options for those who can't lie in certain positions, whether that's due to pregnancy, recent surgery, injury, or just personal comfort.

    I can adapt your massage using side-lying positions or seated techniques, and I have plenty of cushions to help support you comfortably. Just let me know your needs when booking, and I'll make sure your treatment is both comfortable and effective.

  • Do I have to take my clothes off?

    No. If you have been wanting to book in for a massage but the thought of removing your clothes is making you uncomfortable and anxious to come in, I have good news: I am able to offer you a massage with your clothes on! This can be full body or just focusing on specific areas, e.g. shoulders, back and arms.
