Hi, my name is Kuba.
With a background in specialty coffee and hospitality management, some time ago I decided to take a step back and change my career path. I have qualified in Swedish massage in April 2024. The intricacies of muscle therapy fascinate me, and the immediate results clients experience are incredibly rewarding. I'm excited to explore different massage modalities in the future. For now, I am starting a Diploma in Counseling using Transactional Analysis in September 2024. I'm excited to continue learning and growing as a therapist.
In Bohem therapies, I offer safe and confidential space, working within a holistic and person centered approach, assuring you get the most of your visits in my sudio. My practice is still developing, my main goal at the moment is to offer the most suitable treatment for you in a safe and non judgemental space. In my free time, I do love traveling. I like to bike and hike, and generally spend time outside. I enjoy dancing tango. Just recently, I discovered a passion for bouldering.

What to expect
Booking your first massage can feel daunting, but rest assured, you’re in good hands. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space. Before your first treatment, we’ll have a brief consultation to discuss your needs and ensure massage is safe for you. If you have any specific sensory needs or preferences, please do not hesitate to discuss them with me before your appointment. There’s no need for special preparation, you don’t have to shave your legs, just come as you are. For your first appointment, I would recommend you to book an hour to give you enough time on the massage table after the consultation. There are instances where massage is not advisable, such as fever, infectious disease or intoxication. For more details, please refer to my terms and conditions or FAQ’s. My studio is on the first floor, unfortunately not accessible.
Commonly asked questions
For your first appointment, I recommend a 60 minute massage. 45 minutes is ideal for follow up treatments (one body part) or relaxation massage (upper or lower body). 60 minutes is a great time for proper relaxation, full body massage or extended follow up appointment with focus on one body part. Book a 90 minutes and your nervous system will love you and thank you deeply. 90 minute appointments are great for deep relaxation, full body massage including hands and feet as an option.
Ideally comfortable underwear with no sleeves, so I can access your hamstrings. If you wear a bra, try to pick one I can easily open when you lie down on your face. If you do not wear one, it is no problem, your modesty is my priority.
There is no difference for me if you are wearing underwear or not. If you feel more relaxed fully naked, you will undress in a private changing corner, use a towel provided and lie down on the table covered with the towel. From here, again, your modesty is my priority.
No, we do not have to chat at all. The time on the massage table is your time to relax and unwind, enjoy the massage. I am a quiet therapist, I do not initiate conversation, but if you will, I will actively listen and let you lead the conversation.
I have a selection of unscented massage oils - grapeseed, coconut, sunflower, camellia oil. I also use Balance Massage Wax scented Geranium, Frankincense and Bergamot essential oils.
There is no problem. If you could send me a text, it would be great so I know you are on the way. If you miss more than 30 minutes of your appointment, it is up to discussion if treatment would be suitable and in what form.
Oh yes, whatever it is you are afraid of, I have got you. There might be accidents of all sorts, awkward moments. I hold a safe and confidential space, whatever happens, I will deal with it in a professional manner. I am talking about farts, etc. You might get aroused, it is a normal response to a touch. If it comes to that, I will ask you if you want to turn face down or cover with a towel. Of course we will only continue if you are comfortable.
There are circumstances where massage might harm you. If you feel unwell, have fever, runny nose, if you are experiencing any covid symptoms, please, reschedule your appointment. There is more information on contraindications in my Terms and Conditions.
My treatment room is in Timber Bush - an enclave behind the busy Bernard Street. You can access Timber Bush either from Bernard Street, there is a turn between The Carriers Quarters and Mintleaf. You will continue through that street and on your left soon you will find building 54, where my studio is located on the first floor. There is a tram stop and bus stop on Bernard Street. Or you can enter the Timber Bush from The Shore. The entrance is just in front of the Ocean Mist Ship, turn right just after The Ship on The Shore restaurant and continue through, you will find building 54 on your right.
I do accept card payments or cash after treatment.
Unfortunately not. It is located on the first floor with no elevator.
You can park around The Shore for 3.80/hour.
Yes, I can make any adjustment necessary to make you feel comfortable in my studio. Please let me know prior to your appointment.
