Magdalena Cymanek:
Dip.Remedial Massage,Dip.Integrated Body Therapies, BHSc (Comp.Med),
APNT, GCMT (Massage Therapist)
Magda
is a UK and Australian trained massage therapist. 5 years ago she
graduated from an Australasian College of Natural Therapies with a
Diploma of Integrated Body Therapies and a Diploma of Remedial
Massage. Since then she's been practising bodywork, working with
Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors, both in UK and in
Australia. She has worked with dancers and athletes.
Magda's fascination of the interconnection of the body and mind
leads her to constantly learn different therapeutic approaches,
which she then incorporates into her own treatment. Her
interesting background and experience enables her to create a
unique and comprehensive style of massage combining Deep
Tissue Massage techniques, Trigger Point Therapy, Joint
Mobilization, Passive Stretching and Myofascial Release.
Magda provides the perfect blend of a holistic wholesome approach
with a practical application that targets anatomy and mechanical
functions of the body, helping to ease even chronic muscular pain
and discomfort, working with related soft tissue injury, postural
imbalances, joint aches and pains, migraine headaches and other
psycho- emotional challenges such as stress or insomnia.
It really feels nice to have a session of bodywork!!!
The core of Magda's therapeutic approach is one that places the
intrinsic healing ability of the body-mind at the centre of the
resolution of almost all injuries and traumas. In order to do that
the body must be in a place of nutritional, biomechanical and
emotional balance. Working with people from different walks of
life, Magda constantly witnesses among all of them a growing
need for healthier lifestyles, better nutrition and an interest in
natural health care. Therefore Magda is currently also completing
the second year of an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy with The
College of Naturopathic Medicine in London.
"I believe in the human potential for change and my work is
focused on supporting you and your body through these changes"
Magda is a member of the General Council for Massage Therapy and
is a registered practitioner of the Association of Physical and
Natural Therapists. Her web address is

After suffering from insomnia for many years, using holistic
massage treatments and having spiritual awakening I decided to
become a Holistic Therapist. I gained my diplomas in North
Hertfordshire College and I am fully insured. My favourite
essential oil is Lavender which helps me with my sleeping
patterns and relaxation. I believe in self healing if you let
the body relax to synthesise with the mind and spiritual path.

blessings in life. So Lavender Touch is a good contribution to
your well being.

the client’s modesty and comfort.
I warmly welcome you to visit Lavender Touch Holistic Massage
Therapies and experience the benefits of holistic treatments.
Client Testimonial:
“Over the years I have had many other massages but I have now at
last found someone (Monika) who provides a very thorough
massage. I’m very impressed with the way Monika is able to focus
on the areas of my body that need special attention during the
actual massage process. I find her style to be very therapeutic;
she gives a wonderful relaxing massage. Monika is very sensitive
to areas that are tender but she is not afraid to work
vigorously on muscles that need it. She has a great combination
of intuitive touch and educated physiotherapy knowledge. As a
sportsman I appreciate Monika’s knowledge and advice about
stretching, strengthening and nutrition. She has very calming
approach to the whole massage experience. I always leave feeling
completely relaxed and looking forward to the next massage.
I strongly recommend you visit Monika to experience her
excellent technique; the time you spend with her be invaluable
to your health and wellbeing.”
Mr. Wickham
