What amber is and why I use it
I grew up near the Baltic Sea. As a child I would walk the beaches after storms, searching the shoreline for amber. It does not announce itself. It comes hidden in the debris the sea throws up, wrapped in seaweed and driftwood, easy to miss. You have to slow down and be willing to look through what is uncomfortable before you find it.
One of the oldest healing substances in the Baltic tradition.
It carries properties that are genuinely physical, not just symbolic. It contains succinic acid, an antioxidant compound with anti-inflammatory properties that absorbs through the skin. It holds warmth deeply and releases it slowly. And through touch it generates a natural electrostatic charge. The word electricity itself comes from elektron, the ancient Greek word for amber.
In Latvian tradition amber was used to clear stagnant energy, warm what had gone cold, and bring a person back to themselves. I have grown up with it. It comes from the same land and the same practice as everything else I do.
The amber I use is sourced directly from small Latvian producers. Part of every session goes towards that cost, because working with genuine material is not negotiable for me.
How it unfolds
Each session has its own rhythm. There is no fixed script, but there is a natural movement that tends to emerge. Sound runs throughout.
We begin with slow, deliberate massage. Not to relax in a hurry, but to listen. The body holds things in it, old tension, unmet feelings, places that have been waiting. The work moves through this territory carefully, noticing where there is tightness, resistance, or something wanting to be felt. This is the beginning of the session and it sets the tone for everything that follows.
When the body is ready, amber dust is worked into the skin. Warm, fine, and deeply penetrating. The succinic acid absorbs transdermally. The warmth enters at a level that sitting heat cannot reach. Something in the body often shifts here, a softening, a release, a sense of something being drawn out that was sitting too close to the surface.
The last part of the session is for settling. Sound continues. The nervous system begins to integrate what has moved through the body. The pace slows further. There is no rushing to an ending.

What people carry home
I came here with no expectations and received something I never anticipated. Afterward I feel so much lighter, both physically and mentally. I feel calm. This was exactly what I needed right now. From the bottom of my heart, my deepest gratitude for this magical evening. Thank you for doing this.
A huge thank you! This was a WOW experience, incredibly powerful, both energetically and physically. Purification, the release of blockages, the clearing of energy channels. I feel like I've been reset to a blank page and at the same time lifted higher, opened wider, and smiling with my whole being.
Beautiful, magical, free! Thank you for this meeting, not only with you, but with myself. Moving through life, through the sauna, is a true blessing. Thank you for the safe space, the smiles, and the conversations. You are one of our earth's most precious gifts, someone who, together with others, builds something truly meaningful.
I am so grateful for your generosity, your authenticity, your openness. It is such a gift to be truly present, here and now, and that is exactly what you gave me. To stop. To be with myself. To look at my own soul. Beauty lives in clarity. I want to hold on to so much of this feeling. ALL IS LOVE.
Everything begins and everything ends with remembering. Everything that was, everything that is, all of it made of love, faith, and unity. You who are ancient, you who are new. You who are here and also far away.
Dear, Divine, thank you for remembering. In feeling, in a glance, in a touch, in a sound. For the sense of unity. For feeling rooted. In your deep, infinite eyes, eternity.
Meeting Agate could fill an entire fairy tale. From the very first moment it was clear that something special would emerge. Her lightness and magic gently carried me into the depths of the sauna world. I don't even like saunas. And I'm quite cautious with unfamiliar feelings. But Agate masterfully unlocked my inner "control freak." To meet the light you must first pass through the darkness. And miraculously it's not as terrifying as it might seem, because in Agate's presence everything unknown and scary transforms into clarity. I'm now ready to open up even more.
This was a deeply intense and equally necessary experience, liberating and guiding, bringing you closer to yourself and your own potential. Agate was just as much a part of this process as I was. Without her, it would not have been nearly as effective. If you feel like you need to move forward but don't know where, this process will absolutely help lead you to your own path. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself.
Nothing happens by accident. In my experience, when certain changes arrive in life, people appear out of nowhere who help you keep the right focus. This is one of those stories. It turned out far, far better than expected. After this experience, my whole understanding of what a sauna is completely changed. What I used to call a sauna before was definitely not this. It's something more, try it, words aren't enough.
Today I feel such harmony within myself, and I know that all of this was meant to happen. My soul has received love and nature's healing. It's no coincidence that sauna masters make incredible therapists, because in the sauna our souls meet, and conversations heal in a different way. All day I keep hearing the words: "Why does your ego need them to change?" and it has been a guiding thought for my own growth.
Today was something magical. It was my first sauna experience and I felt like I had been in another world the entire time. I cannot stop expressing my gratitude for your strength, your energy, and the magic you guided me through.
I had been longing for a real Latvian sauna with all the rituals and incantations, honey massage, salt massage, and everything else. It was fantastic. I enjoyed it and enjoyed it and enjoyed it. You delivered exactly what I saw in your ad, walking through the forest reciting ancient words. You delivered that and so much more.
What is included
A full session of amber massage, somatic bodywork and sound. Time to slow down, let the nervous system settle, and feel the body properly. Everything is included.
Part of this goes towards sourcing authentic Baltic amber dust from small Latvian producers I trust. Amber dust is a very fine powder of pure amber. When worked into the skin it absorbs transdermally, delivering succinic acid, sustained warmth and a natural electrostatic charge directly into the tissue. Much of what is sold as amber is not genuine. Sourcing the real thing matters to me and supporting those producers is part of how I work with integrity.

When you feel ready — to slow down, to look, to let the body lead — I will be here. Book a session, or simply write to me first if you have questions. There is no wrong way to begin.
Common Questions
If something is not answered here, you are always welcome to reach out before booking.
We begin with a short conversation about what you are carrying or what you want to work with that day. From there the session moves through three parts: slow somatic massage to find where the body is holding tension; Baltic amber dust worked into the skin; and a quieter closing phase held by sound where the body settles. There is no fixed script. The session follows what comes up.
Not exactly. This is slow, deeply felt therapeutic bodywork. Relaxation often comes, but that is not the goal. The goal is to meet what the body is holding with presence and care. Some moments may feel tender. That is a normal part of the work.
Warm and very fine in texture. As it is worked in it absorbs through the skin and the warmth enters quite deeply, different from any other massage medium. By the end there is a light golden shimmer on the body. Most people find it immediately pleasant and grounding.
This kind of slow, felt bodywork asks a lot of trust and openness. Holding a women-only space allows for a quality of safety and depth that I have found serves the work well. It is a considered choice, not a rigid rule. If you have questions about this, feel free to write to me.
No. You do not need to understand the tools or have done anything like this before. You only need to be willing to slow down and be present. The work meets you where you are.
Comfortable clothing you are happy to have amber dust on. You will be on a massage table so wear layers you can remove easily. Bring water, and give yourself some time afterwards. This is not a session to rush out of. Amber washes out of fabric easily.
Not in the first trimester. Later stages can be discussed individually. Please reach out before booking so we can talk through what is right for your circumstances.
