Lomi Massage, Reiki & Bodywork

About RelaxDeva

Hello from the Ozarks. I am Angela, an Arkansas-based massage therapist. RelaxDeva Massage Studio is located in Bella Vista, Arkansas, in the foothills of the beautiful Ozark Mountains. I offer a private, attentive bodywork experience.

My passion is the art of Lomi Lomi, a traditional Polynesian approach to bodywork. This flowing practice uses long, rhythmic strokes from head to toe. I also offer Swedish massage with comfortable pressure, using techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, and kneading.

I am also a Reiki practitioner and offer bodywork designed to support relaxation and balance. I can provide comfort-focused massage during pregnancy and after childbirth when massage is appropriate and approved by the client’s healthcare provider.

When muscles feel tight, I may use trigger-point techniques for more focused bodywork. I encourage steady breathing to help you settle into the session and use calm, meditative language to guide deeper relaxation.

Warm oils, clean cotton sheets, supportive pillows, calming music, and dimmed lights create a peaceful setting where you can rest and unwind.

IKE (ee-kay)

This principle is a reminder that, by changing your thoughts, you can change your experience of the world.

KALA (kulla)

Kala teaches that we are all interconnected, that your actions and thoughts influence the universe and the universe influences you.

MAKIA (Mu-kee-a)

Makia is especially meaningful in bodywork. Where attention goes, energy flows; focused care helps the body relax and respond.

MANAWA (Ma-nah-wa)

Manawa reminds us that all power exists in the present moment. This moment is where the body can begin to soften, release, and reset.

ALOHA (A-low-ha)

Love and acceptance are fundamental to the healing process: to accept, to be present, and to be happy with the person in front of you.

MANA (Ma-na)

Mana recognizes that we all come from the same place – spirit. It is the spirit, or life force, within that gives you your ability to exist and navigate.

PONO (Po-no)

Pono refers to finding alignment, or “rightness,” whether with your own soul, your relationships, your work, your home, or your healing.

Bodywork principles

These shamanic principles help shape the spirit of RelaxDeva: present, respectful, connected, and focused on balance in body, mind, and spirit.
