Dr. Natalia (PhD) and Aleksei Body & Mind Work Practitioners & Educators

Our method combines precise myofascial and neuromuscular work with mindful touch and guided breath.This helps the body shift from stress to deep relaxation, allowing the nervous system to release stored emotional tension. Many clients experience moments of insight — recognizing how emotions or habits have shaped their muscle patterns. We don’t offer psychotherapy; we simply create a safe space where the body can naturally release what it’s been holding.

Aleksei

Body & Mind Work Practitioner & Educator

Aleksei has developed an excellent pain relief system. He provides therapeutic massage, treats pain in the back-neck-head-arms-legs-joints (such diagnoses as osteochondrosis, scoliosis, hernias, arthritis), if in one word he treats myofascial pain syndrome.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a condition characterized by the presence of trigger points, which are localized areas of muscle tightness and pain. These trigger points can develop in any muscle of the body and are often caused by muscle overuse, injury, or stress.

Aleksei's treatment is performed with Myopressure method .

What is Myopressure?

Myopressure is a therapeutic bodywork method that releases tension, restores circulation, and eases pain by working with muscles, fascia, and joints. It uses precise pressure to relax tight fibers and improve mobility — a focused, medical-style massage that targets the soft tissues often responsible for discomfort.

Myopressure helps with:

Muscle pain, tension, and spasms
Trigger points and chronic pain
Joint stiffness and post-injury recovery
Postural imbalances and muscle fatigue
Limited mobility

Key benefits:
