Trying something new raises reasonable questions: how long it lasts, how much it costs, what I need to tell you, what happens if I can’t make it. This guide explains what your first bodywork session in Barcelona is like, with the actual terms of my service, so you know what to expect when you arrive.

What is a bodywork session, and who is it for?

Bodywork is hands-on work with the body. In my case, it brings together manual massage therapy, structural osteopathy, myofascial release and ancestral techniques, and it adapts to each person. It is a form of body therapy and therapeutic massage in Barcelona, designed for people whose neck feels overloaded after work, who wake up stiff, who feel worn out after training, or whose movements have become less comfortable. If you’d like to get to know the philosophy in more detail, I explain it on the The Art of Touch page.

How long does the first session last, and how much does it cost?

On your first session, I give you an extra 30 minutes. You can choose between two options:

Book 30 minutes and enjoy 60 minutes: €50.
Book 60 minutes and enjoy 90 minutes: €85.

This applies to the first session only. I work by prior booking and appointments are limited by my schedule, so if you have a date in mind, book ahead.

How do I book?

You can book your first session online, message me on WhatsApp (+34 692 62 98 11), email me at stayintouch@enmanosdelola.com or use the form on the Bodywork page.

Your booking is confirmed once you complete the booking process and, where applicable, the payment. In some cases I may ask for your card details or an advance payment for the session in order to confirm it. I work in the Sant Antoni, Eixample Esquerra and Poble-Sec area of Barcelona.

Do I need to tell you anything before the appointment?

Yes. When you book, tell me about any health condition: pregnancy, allergies, recent surgery, skin conditions or chronic conditions. With that information I adapt the work and, if a session could put your health at risk, I reserve the right to modify it or not to carry it out. And if your discomfort began after a knock, comes with tingling or fever, or keeps getting worse, see your doctor first.

How early should I arrive?

Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment. If you arrive late, the session ends at the time we agreed, so that later appointments aren’t affected, and the price isn’t reduced.

What does the session look like, step by step?

First, a brief pre-session assessment. You tell me what you’re feeling, in which areas, since when and what your day-to-day looks like, and with that I adapt the massage to what you need at that moment.

Then the body work begins, with massage, stretching and osteopathic assisted movements. I don’t follow a closed protocol: I observe, I listen and I adapt the techniques to how your body responds. If you come in for your neck, I may also work on your shoulders, back or other overloaded areas.

During the session, tell me how it feels. The work adapts to you.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Any change or cancellation must be communicated at least 24 hours in advance, by WhatsApp or email. If you cancel outside that window or don’t show up, you forfeit the full amount of the service. You’ll find the full details in the cancellation and refund policy.

A respectful space

My work is built on trust and mutual respect. No behavior, comment or insinuation of a sexual, offensive or violent nature toward the therapist is tolerated. If that happens, the session ends at that moment, it is charged in full and there will be no further appointments. All the terms of the service are set out in the terms and conditions.

Book your first bodywork session in Barcelona

If you already know you want to try it, book your first session and get 30 extra minutes as a gift. If you’d rather ask me something first, message me on WhatsApp and we’ll talk it through.
