Book them at home with LAMORA
Massage is one of the simplest and most enjoyable ways to get your calm back after a busy week. But open any service menu and you will find many options: relaxation, hot stone, lymphatic, wood therapy, foot massage… so which one is right for you?
The short answer: choose by goal. For overall relaxation, a relaxation massage is the perfect start. For a stiff neck and shoulders from long hours at a desk, a back and shoulders massage fits better. If you feel heavy or puffy, a lymphatic massage is worth trying. Here is the full picture.
A relaxation massage is a full-body session with long, flowing strokes and light to medium pressure. Its aim is to calm body and mind together rather than to work on one specific area.
You can book a relaxation massage at home with LAMORA and go straight to bed afterwards, with no drive home.
Hot stone massage combines relaxation strokes with smooth, carefully heated basalt stones placed on key points or used for the massage itself. The warmth helps muscles release faster, so you reach deep relaxation without heavy pressure.
This session focuses on the neck, shoulders and upper back — the areas that take the strain of screen time, carrying children and constantly looking down at a phone.
Short on time? A back and shoulders massage brings real relief in under an hour.
Lymphatic massage is a very gentle technique of light, rhythmic strokes in specific directions, aimed at helping you feel lighter and less puffy. The pressure is far softer than a classic massage — many women are surprised by how soothing it is.
A focused session for tired feet and legs — ideal after a long day on your feet or an evening event. Short, comforting and easy to add to another service.
Gentle movements over the scalp and neck that bring quick calm, especially on stressful days or restless nights.
Uses specially shaped wooden tools to massage the body with steady pressure. Many women choose it for a firming, invigorating feel; body-contouring results vary from person to person and depend on a balanced lifestyle.
Ask yourself one question before booking: how do I want to feel afterwards? Then use this quick guide:
Still unsure? Start with a relaxation massage and explore the others as you learn what your body enjoys.
There is no single rule, but a session every two to four weeks suits most women looking for regular relaxation and care. If your work causes recurring tension, shorter focused sessions at closer intervals may help more.
More important than frequency is consistency and listening to your body: if anything feels unusually painful during the session, tell your specialist so she can ease the pressure or change technique.
Because the relaxation does not end when the session does. At home there is no drive afterwards, no waiting room and no stepping back out into the heat and traffic — you stay in your comfortable space and keep resting.
With LAMORA you choose the massage type and length, set your address and time, and a trained specialist arrives with the massage table, oils and towels. You can book sessions for yourself and your sister or mother at the same time, or send a massage as a gift to someone you love.
A relaxation massage is the best start: moderate pressure and flowing strokes let you discover what feels good before trying other types.
It should not. You may feel pressure on tight spots, but sharp pain is a signal to ease off — tell your specialist right away.
Massage during pregnancy needs your doctor's approval first, and your specialist should know how far along you are before starting.
A quiet space large enough for a massage table, two clean towels and soft lighting if possible. Your specialist brings the table, oils and tools.
