Enhance your relationship and unwind.

Hi :) I'm Daniela Prado, and I have been fascinated by massage therapy all my life.

I'm a professional coach who has several years of experience as a massage therapist, and spa head trainer. I run massage workshops at my home studio where I share my knowledge and expertise with you, to help you enhance your massage skills and deepen your relationship through touch.

My aim is to give you a supportive and educational experience so that you can provide great massages to each other and strengthen your bond as a couple.

I LOVE sharing my knowledge. I believe massage can help you calm, disconnect from distractions, and come home to yourself.

It is also an AMAZING way to connect with a friend or loved one. And I am confident you will enjoy learning about massage and a bit more about yourself. My massage workshops are aimed at everyone interested in exploring massage therapy professionally or for fun.

Daniela was an absolutely amazing teacher, and my partner and I enjoyed our lesson thoroughly. I can't recommend her enough

We took a Couples Massage class a few days ago and even prior to the class, Daniela (Carinya) was so prompt in providing details of the class, location and answering any questions. Upon attending the class, Daniela had tea, water and snacks for us. What I appreciated is that she asked exactly what we were wanting to learn and gain from the class and tailored her teachings according. We came away with so many useful massage techniques, feeling so relaxed, and she even gifted us with a thank you gift. Post class, she sent through further reading materials to keep learning and practising. I definitely think the Couples Massage class held by Daniela is well valued and would recommend. Thank you!

Carinya was a great teacher. She was able to create a very comfortable and relaxing environment. Myself and my wife love to get the odd massage but this class gave us the knowledge to do it ourselves.
We certainly recommend this class for any couple looking to enhance their relationship.

Before you read this review first make a cup of tea and light a candle to rest and settle in!

We were given clear directions to location and she met us in the lobby. Then we went to the massage studio where we were welcomed to such a calming and relaxing space. Now this space was as calming and serene as the teacher who made us feel so welcomed. We settled in where she introduced us to the course and went through the importance of setting time for couples massages and the benefits of doing so.

She started the course where we were both taking turns and each of us got a full spa treatment. Each partner was given close supervision and guidance on the techniques for giving a relaxing massage and spa treatment.

If you’re looking for a premium service look no further. Thank you again and we look forward to putting what you taught us into practise.

What an amazing experience! She is super knowledgeable and able to bring you and your partner in a perfect mood. We even received a present at the end. Looking forward to trying this at home!

Daniela was a wonderful host who created a beautiful and calming environment for the workshop. Her passion for massage was obvious and contagious and we thoroughly enjoyed the focus on creating the right environment for relaxation. The techniques themselves were simple but effective and my partner and I are very excited to try it out again at home! Thank you Daniela for your warm hospitality - we would highly recommend this workshop to others!

This experience was amazing and Daniela was absolutely great. So welcoming and calming, my husband and I felt so at ease. We finished feeling incredibly relaxed and are confident we will be putting our new skills to use in the future. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to improve your relationship!

Daniela was so wonderful, friendly, and informative. We had such a lovely time learning from her and getting to know her. It was a great hands-on class and we came out of the experience feeling so relaxed! That was because Daniela provided the perfect environment, and she taught us how we could easiily recreate the same experience at home.

Since taking the class, we've been implementing massage at home, which is such a great treat after the end of a stressful day. I'm really glad we took this class with Daniela. We highly recommend her class!

Great session and class. Daniela takes a holistic approach to massage and considers the whole experience in her class. The class is about much more than the physical aspect of massage but also how massage supports intimacy, mindfulness, self-care, and connection. Daniela is friendly and knowledgable and makes you feel very comfortable in the environment.

We really enjoyed the class and had a lot of fun. Would recommend :).

Daniela was absolutely amazing! She taught us to much while giving such a calm and relaxing experience. I highly recommend this as a way to grow closer to your partner! Well worth the money

It was a true pleasure learning the art of massage from Daniela. She was patient and knowledgeable and really cared about the connection she was helping to improve between us. We left feeling happy, relaxed and armed with new knowledge about how to care for each other.

We did the massage course for two people and found the teacher welcoming and informative. We learnt several different strokes and some good tips to improve our techniques. We were provided with notes to help us remember what we had learnt during the lesson - which has come in handy.

Daniela was amazing! She is an amazing teacher and made the class as much about our relationship as the massage. She was the ultimate professional teaching us new massage techniques along with the anatomical explanation of what we were doing. She was wonderful and we would love to buy this class for other couples as a gift too!

Thank you, Daniela

Daniela created an incredible atmosphere for us to experience her knowledge and guidance on massage. We immediately felt comfortable in her space and with her as a teacher. Daniela was incredibly clear with her instructions and answers to our questions. She infused the session with practical advice and deeper lessons around the value of massage for relationships and communication. A very unique experience that left us feeling very relaxed, inspired and equipped with knowledge. Definitely recommend as a masseuse and a teacher for couples wanting to learn techniques.

TLDR: Great class, very informative and enjoyable. Daniela was absolutely lovely, professional and genuine. I'd recommend it for couples who are into giving each other massages or to those wanting to surprise your partner with some new skills.

First of, my partner and I were an hour late due to the rain and what not, but we were still given the full two hours. On top of that, when we arrived, Daniela was already waiting at the front entrance ready to greet us with a warm smile. An absolutely lovely person.

My partner and I joined this class because she enjoy massages and I enjoy giving them to her. (Her shoulders and upper back often tense up during work). So it was mostly me learning and her relaxing. I would give her 45min massages at least once a week. I had some youtube knowledge on basic massage techniques which made understanding the class easier and it also helped me ask more in depth questions. Daniela was very responsive and detailed in her explanations, which made She clearly knows her way around as a masseuse given she is a spa trainer and a certified professional. I could feel that the lesson was well organized as Daniela would summarize at each stage what she taught and she will get me to repeat what I could remember. She would point out extremely detailed points that even massage parlours would miss out that could potentially improve one's massage experience.

To end of, when Daniela found out it was my partner's birthday, she gifted her a candle that she made herself. If this person isn't genuine I don't know what is. So do check out her class if this is what you're interested in

Daniela was very welcoming and a very good teacher - clearly passionate about sharing her kills in massage. It was a very romantic experience for our anniversary.

Daniela was fantastic, and the class was great. Daniela was extremely welcoming and communicative, even before the class she reached out to provide a bunch of helpful details.
During the class itself, Daniela provided great explanations and teaching, taking all time and care to explain and demonstrate all the techniques. The massage experience was very relaxing and enjoyable.
She was also really accommodating when we had to step out mid way to fix the parking (which was entirely our own fault).
Overall the experience was very rewarding and would happily recommend.
