A note from Riina, founder of Healing Is Allowed
I created Healing Is Allowed in 2023 because I believe we all deserve time and space to receive care. Whether we’re living with physical discomfort, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or moving through a spiritual challenge, we sometimes need support along the way.
Allowing healing can begin with a pause. Listening to what we need. Asking for help. Giving ourselves permission to receive rather than always being the one who gives.
Healing Is Allowed brings together therapeutic massage, Ayurvedic body treatments, and intuitive guidance to support you in body, mind, and spirit.
Nervous system support
A Space to slow down
Sometimes we arrive with tight shoulders and an aching back. Other times, we feel wired, overwhelmed, or exhausted—but still find it difficult to slow down.
At Healing Is Allowed, nervous system support begins with how we care for you. We listen, check in about your comfort, and adapt the pressure, pace, and focus of your session. You’re welcome to ask for changes, choose quiet, or let us know what would help you feel more at ease.
Alongside attention to pain and tension, there is room to pause, receive caring touch, and rest without anything being asked of you. You don’t have to arrive feeling relaxed or know exactly what you need. We start where you are.
Different ways to receive support
Intuitive Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic skill, intuitive awareness, and caring touch come together to support your physical and emotional wellbeing. Sessions offer space to ease muscle tension, settle into your body, and receive.
Each practitioner brings their own experience and approach, adapting the pressure, pace, and focus to your needs. Depending on the practitioner and your preferences, sessions may also incorporate Reiki, craniosacral techniques, or other gentle energy work.
We listen to what you share and stay attentive to how your body responds, making each massage a conversation about what works for you.
Intuitive Guidance Sessions
Sometimes you need space to talk, reflect, and hear yourself more clearly. Perhaps you feel a little lost, are navigating a change, or sense that something in your life needs attention.
Sessions with Riina may draw on Gene Keys, Ayurvedic wisdom, spiritual mentoring, and energy work. Together, we explore what you’re experiencing and what feels meaningful to you, with room for your own insight and inner wisdom.
Online sessions allow you to connect from wherever you are.
Ayurveda: Knowledge of Life
Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine originating in India, often called the sister science of yoga. Its name combines Ayur, meaning life, and Veda, meaning knowledge—“knowledge of life.”
Ayurveda looks at the whole person: your individual nature, daily habits, environment, and what you’re experiencing physically and emotionally. In my work, this wisdom comes through in both body treatments and Intuitive Guidance sessions.
Ayurvedic body treatments offer warm oil and unhurried care. Abhyanga is a full-body warm-oil massage, while Shirodhara involves a gentle, continuous stream of warm oil over the forehead. Combined in Bliss Therapy, they offer a nourishing invitation to slow down, settle, and rest.
Within Intuitive Guidance sessions, we may draw on Ayurveda to explore food, sleep, daily routines, and your relationship with the changing seasons. Depending on your needs, traditional Ayurvedic assessments and conversations about herbal support may also be part of our work together.
What I love about Ayurveda is how practical it can be. Small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference in how you feel. We start with what fits your life and build from there.
