Traditional massages in the heart of Lisbon

MASSAGE AS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

O seu fôlego (Your breath)

Accumulated muscle tension, physical fatigue, mental overload?

On a futon and clothed (Nuad Boran) or on a table with oil, traditional massage acts on chronic muscle tension, supports body function, and calms the mind.

The Identity of Alfôlego

I’m Hermance. It is through the traditional art of massage that I found my path, shaped by 20 years of study and exploration in human sciences.

Returning to the roots of these techniques allows me to approach the human being as a whole, supporting everyone in taking charge of their own balance.

Based in Lisbon, I combine the technical and cultural rigor of Nuad Boran (trained in Thailand) with the high standards of French protocols (RNCP certified). My independent status guarantees a tailor-made practice, where ethics, time, focus, and individualization guide every session.

Certified in Nuad Boran (Thaïlande)

Nuad Boran

(Fully clothed on the floor)

Release deep tensions and restore mobility.

Recognized by the WHO, Nuad Boran is at the heart of traditional Thai medicine. Practiced on a floor futon and fully clothed, it combines deep stretching and slow digital pressure along the tendino-muscular lines.

Stress, sedentary lifestyle, or prolonged postures cause muscles to contract: session after session, these maneuvers restore the body's natural flexibility and relieve chronic discomfort.

Oil Massages (On a table)

Rooted in ancestral traditions, these massages offer distinct sensations and rhythms, faithful to the cultural philosophies that inspire them.

Structuring – Californian inspiration

Continuous fluid strokes and precise muscular kneading.

Tonic – Balinese inspiration

An invigorating sequence of targeted pressures, Balinese kneading, and rhythmic percussions.

Enveloping – Hawaiian inspiration

Long, continuous strokes performed mainly with the forearms, following the rhythm of ocean waves.
