Agni-Elena Khmeleva, Portugal
Latest Massage Therapist signing up for the World Championship in Massage is Agni-Elena Khmeleva from Portugal. The International Massage Association has asked her to tell about herself:
“My name is Agni. I was born and raised in Russia, and now I live in Portugal. My journey into massage therapy began with my passion for meditation and inner work. My first teacher, Vit Mano, taught me about the connection between emotions and the body. He was the first to help me with neck problems through massage, meditation, and body therapy. Experiencing this myself, I became interested in how I could help others with similar issues.
For over 7 years, massage has been more than just a passion; it has been my profession.
The Japanese facial massage, which I present as a participant in the championship, is one of the specialties of my work. Coming from a background in body therapy, I perceive the face as the “gateway” to our system. The face is the door to our home. It is the first to meet any troubles and protect our system from the assaults of the external world. Japanese facial massage is a dance that not only provides a rejuvenating effect but also balances and calms the entire system of a person.
My many years of experience in meditation allow me to be fully present for the client. Combined with the techniques of Japanese facial massage, this provides a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating effect.”
