Shiatsu, cupping and relaxing massage with massage therapist Jacqueline. A private, unhurried session, so you leave feeling lighter, the way your body needs.




Magic hands that untangled every knot.
Press play and see what a massage session at Essência do Cuidar looks like. No rush, with attention just for you.

Tight shoulders, a stiff neck, a mind that won’t switch off. Tension builds up until it turns into pain, and taking care of yourself keeps getting pushed back.
Here it works differently. Each session starts by understanding how you feel that day, so the right technique goes to the spot that needs attention.
Every session is planned for you. In our first chat I learn what your body needs and pick the best path among the techniques I’m trained in. Shiatsu is at the heart of this work.
Tap a technique to see the detailsPrecise finger pressure on the right points, to calm what has turned into pain.
A Japanese technique using finger and hand pressure on specific points of the body. Beyond relaxing the surface, shiatsu rebalances energy, releases blockages and calms the nervous system from the inside out. It treats and relaxes at the same time.
The classic relaxation that loosens your whole body and quiets your mind.
The well known relaxing massage, the most recognized technique in the world. With gliding, kneading and friction strokes, it works the whole body to melt stress, boost circulation and bring deep relaxation. The pick for busy people who truly need to slow down.
Cups that release deep tension and boost circulation.
The cups create gentle suction on the skin that decompresses the muscles, improves tissue oxygenation and helps recovery. Ideal if you carry deep tension and want relief that hands alone can’t reach.
Care that starts at your feet and relaxes your whole body.
It stimulates specific points on the feet linked to every organ and area of the body. It looks simple, yet you feel it everywhere, with deep relaxation, tension relief and a pleasant sense of balance. A surprise for first timers.
Relief that fits a busy day, seated and in just a few minutes.
A quick session, done seated and fully clothed, focused on the spots where tension builds most, neck, shoulders and back. In a few minutes it undoes the stress knot and brings your energy back, without clearing your schedule. The same session is also available for companies and events.
Tailored work for your pain, right on the spot of tension.
I listen to what’s bothering you and direct the techniques to specific points, focused on easing pain and restoring well being. Each session is built around how you feel that day.
A standard massage treats everyone the same. Here each session follows what your body asks for that day.

I’m the one who welcomes you, listens and takes care of you from start to finish. No rotating staff, no rush, just calm and gentle hands.
Her hands are so soft, with gentle touches on my body, reaching the tension points and giving me incredible relaxation. After the massage the feeling stays. I felt lighter, calm, wonderful.
I trained in seven techniques, from Oriental to Swedish, to have the range to understand what your body asks for each day. Beyond easing tension, I love creating a space where you can let your guard down and truly relax.
