Luisa brings a clinical foundation to her massage practice that goes beyond standard technique training. After completing her Diploma in Allied Health Sciences in the Philippines, she built over eight years of hands-on experience before relocating to the UAE, where she has spent the past five years working as a licensed massage therapist across Abu Dhabi.

Her background in allied health gives her a stronger working knowledge of muscle structure, injury patterns, and recovery physiology than a general relaxation-focused therapist — which shows in the specialties she’s built her practice around. She’s a frequent choice for clients dealing with chronic tension or recovering from physical strain, particularly through deep tissue and sports massage, where her ability to read exactly where tension is sitting in the muscle (rather than just applying general pressure) makes a noticeable difference in sessions.

Luisa is also one of the few therapists on our team qualified for prenatal and postnatal massage — a specialty that requires specific technique adjustments around positioning, pressure, and areas to avoid, which isn’t something every massage therapist is trained or comfortable handling. Combined with her post-recovery massage work, she’s often the therapist recommended for clients navigating a physical recovery period, whether from childbirth, injury, or intensive training.

Thai massage rounds out her practice for clients who want a more active, movement-based session rather than a purely pressure-based one — stretching and joint mobility work alongside the massage itself.
