Massage therapist

Gregor Zbindens massage Approach
Gregor is interested in people and their stories. The body of every human being is a book that tells his personal story. Gregor wants to write a beautiful chapter in this story with his sensitive, knowing hands. Filled with relaxation, deceleration, positive energy and good feelings.
His "writing tools" are his reassuring, delicate hands. He works with calm, care and mindfulness in order to relax you as deeply as possible and to give you a lot of energy at the same time.
To continue writing your story, Gregor takes a lot of time. For this reason he accepts a maximum of three clients per day. He pays particular attention to a calm, stress-free atmosphere and a clarifying preliminary talk to clarify your needs.
«I see a massage as a form of wordless communication between me and my client. During the massage, I am completely in the moment: no two massage sessions are the same. With my work I can appreciate people, give them attention and time for themselves.»
