For people who carry a lot and want to feel better doing it.
You may be building a business, leading a team, raising a family, caring for others, or simply facing a demanding season of life.
When you are constantly “on,” your body can begin to carry the load; through tension, pain, fatigue, overwhelm, poor sleep, or the feeling that you never fully switch off.
My work helps you better understand what your body is communicating, regulate your nervous system, release accumulated tension, and create more capacity for everyday life.
“As someone who wears many different hats throughout the day, I often find myself feeling overwhelmed.
It is in those moments that I turn to Luciana for guidance and support. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and always comes up with a personalised plan to help me find balance and peace.” — Romy

“She has this wonderful quality of being totally present with her client and staying connected.
She guided me beautifully whilst at the same time being very compassionate, making me feel safe and that anything and everything is okay.”— Martina
For more than 20 years, I have explored the connection between the body, the mind and our capacity to recover, adapt and thrive.
My own understanding began as a professional athlete, where I learned first hand that performance is not only about how much we can push, it is also about how well we can recover, regulate and listen to what the body is telling us.
Today, I work with people who carry a lot.
People navigating demanding careers, businesses, families, relationships, transitions and full lives; who want to feel better in their bodies and have greater capacity for everything life asks of them.
Integrated bodywork is at the centre of my approach. Depending on what your body is communicating, I may also draw on more than two decades of experience across health, fitness, emotional integration and complementary practices to support the process.
There is no one size fits all approach. I listen, observe and work with what your body needs in that moment.

When you have tried everything, but your body is still holding on.
You may have tried massage, physiotherapy, stretching, exercise, medication or simply pushing through, yet the pain, tension or stress keeps returning.
Sometimes, the body needs a different kind of support.
My approach to integrated bodywork looks beyond the area of discomfort alone. It works gently with the body to support relaxation, nervous system regulation and a greater sense of ease and connection.
Because lasting change is not only about where you feel the tension, it is about understanding what your body may still be holding.
Integrated Bodywork has been my first port of call the moment I feel stressed or have any form of pain. Luciana has helped relieve back spasms and shoulder injuries within 1–2 sessions. I go into a deep state of relaxation and feel heavily rejuvenated.
Healing hands that have a fortune of experience. — Simone
Your body is asking to be heard.
When life asks a lot of us for a long time, we may begin to feel it in the body, through tension, fatigue, discomfort, overwhelm or the feeling that we never fully switch off.
Even when the immediate pressure has passed, our bodies can sometimes continue to carry the effects of prolonged stress.
Sometimes, what we need is not to push harder, but to slow down, listen and give the body a different kind of support.
Who This Is For?
- You carry chronic tension or recurring pain
- Stress feels stored in the body
- You feel overwhelmed or exhausted
- You have tried multiple approaches without lasting change
- Your body feels disconnected, tight or overloaded
For people carrying chronic stress, pain and emotional load who are ready for a different approach.
Chronic Tension Pain
You feel tight, overload, exhausted or disconnected from your beautiful body.
Stress Held in Body
Your nervous system has been carrying more than it was meant to hold.
Nothing Else Worked

PAIN RELIEF
What to expect in Your Session
“Her practice is founded on listening very deeply and constantly to what it is that one needs, and then responding to that in a most caring manner.
Her knowledge and expertise is broad, and yet focused. She is skilled in drawing on many complementary practices, leaving you feeling that you have been in the presence of a skilled professional who sincerely cares. — Stanley

Every experience is individual, but clients have described changes such as:
✓ Less tension and greater ease in the body
✓ Feeling more relaxed
✓ Greater mobility and freedom of movement
✓ Feeling calmer and less overwhelmed
✓ More energy
✓ Better sleep
✓ Greater awareness of the body

“I had severe shoulder blade and back pain that was beginning to affect my breathing. I had been suffering for more than two months.
By the second night after my first session, the pain began to ease. After my third visit I was well out of the pain zone, and by the fourth I was completely pain free.
I have every confidence in the technique, but moreover appreciate Luciana in her healing and professionalism.” — Lucille
Is This the Right Support for You?
Integrated bodywork can support people experiencing stress, tension, physical discomfort, fatigue or a sense of being overloaded, but it is important to know when a different kind of care is needed.
This may not be the right approach if…
You need urgent or emergency medical care.
Bodywork is not emergency medical treatment. If you are experiencing sudden, severe or concerning symptoms, please seek appropriate medical attention.
You have an injury or health condition that requires medical assessment.
Bodywork does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment or advice. Depending on your circumstances, I may recommend that you speak with your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional before we work together.
You have recently had surgery, experienced a significant injury, or have a condition that may affect whether bodywork is appropriate.
Please let me know before booking. Medical clearance may be appropriate in some circumstances.
Not sure whether a session is appropriate for you?
You are welcome to contact me before booking. Tell me a little about what you are experiencing and I can let you know whether my work is appropriate within the scope of what I offer. Where something falls outside that scope, I will encourage you to seek the appropriate professional support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Integrated bodywork is a personalised, body led approach designed to support relaxation, release tension and encourage greater nervous system regulation and body awareness.
Bodywork forms the foundation of each session, with other supportive techniques incorporated where appropriate depending on you, what you are experiencing and how your body responds.
We begin with a conversation about what you are experiencing and what you would like support with.
From there, I use gentle, hands on bodywork and adapt the session according to what I observe and how your body responds.
At the end, we check in again to notice what has shifted and discuss any appropriate next steps. Every session is individual. There is no fixed protocol that I apply to everyone.
No. While integrated bodywork is hands on, it is not a traditional massage.
Rather than following a standard massage routine, I work gently and responsively with your body, paying attention to areas of tension, restriction and the patterns that emerge during the session.
The work is gentle and hands-on. I do not believe that more pressure necessarily means better results.
I work with your body rather than forcing it, adjusting my touch and approach according to how you respond throughout the session.
You are always encouraged to communicate with me about how something feels.
Yes. You remain fully clothed throughout the session.
I recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to relax and move easily.
It depends on your individual circumstances.
If you have an injury, ongoing medical condition, have recently had surgery, or are receiving medical care, please let me know before your session.
Where appropriate, I may ask you to obtain clearance from your doctor or another suitably qualified healthcare professional before we work together.
Integrated bodywork does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment or care.
Each private bodywork session is approximately 45 minutes. I recommend allowing a little additional time around your appointment so that you do not feel rushed arriving or leaving.
A private 45-minute bodywork session is R1,500.
Private bodywork sessions take place at:
Studio 313
74 Regent Road
Sea Point, Cape Town
South Africa
You will receive the relevant arrival details when your session is confirmed.
There are several nearby parking options.
The most convenient options are usually street parking on Main Road near The Crazy Store, or the underground parking at Checkers across the road.
Please allow a little extra time to park before your appointment.
Absolutely.
You are welcome to begin with a single session. There is no requirement to commit to a package or a predetermined number of sessions.
After your session, we can discuss how your body responded and whether another session may be helpful. The decision to continue is always yours.
There is no set number. Every person arrives with a different history, body and reason for coming, so the number and frequency of sessions will always depend on the individual.
You are very welcome to begin with just one session. However, when appropriate, I generally recommend starting with three to five sessions, with no more than approximately 10 days between each session. This gives us an opportunity to work consistently, notice how your body responds between sessions, and adapt each session based on what we observe along the way.
This is a recommendation, not a requirement. Some people choose to come only when they feel they need support, while others find that more regular sessions work better for them.
We reassess as we go, rather than deciding everything in advance. The aim is always to find a rhythm that feels appropriate for you and your body.
They are different approaches and are not intended to replace one another.
Physiotherapy is a regulated healthcare profession focused on assessing, diagnosing and managing physical conditions, injuries, movement and rehabilitation.
My integrated bodywork sessions are not physiotherapy and do not involve medical diagnosis. My approach uses gentle, hands on bodywork to support relaxation, body awareness, the release of tension and greater nervous system regulation.
If you have an injury or condition that requires medical assessment or rehabilitation, I may recommend working with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional. Bodywork can also be considered alongside other professional care when appropriate.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice.
Cancellations or changes made with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged at the full session fee.
Integrated bodywork sessions are hands-on and therefore take place in person at my Sea Point studio.
I do offer separate online mentoring and coaching sessions for people who would like support remotely.
Please contact me if you are unsure which option is right for you.
Clients often come with chronic tension, neck and shoulder pain, back discomfort, stress, fatigue, emotional overload, nervous system dysregulation and a general feeling of disconnection from their body.
Every body is different.
Many clients begin with a 3 to 5 session to allow the body time to regulate, release and integrate changes more sustainably.
No.
Many clients initially come for pain relief but also experience benefits related to stress, emotional release, nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing.
Many clients come carrying longterm stress, emotional load and nervous system exhaustion. The work supports relaxation, regulation and reconnection with the body.
Each session begins with listening to your experience, your body and what may be asking for attention.
Bodywork forms the foundation of the work and supports the release of tension, stress and patterns held within the body.
Muscle testing is used to explore areas of imbalance and provide additional insight into what the body may be communicating.
Where appropriate, supportive methods such as emotional integration, subconscious techniques and energy based approaches may also be integrated.
Every session is adapted to the individual.
Because every body has its own story, rhythm and way back.
Comfortable clothing is recommended.
Yes.
Many women come during periods of transition, stress and hormonal change seeking support, regulation and reconnection.
Yes.
Many clients arrive after exploring multiple therapies and are looking for a different, body led approach.
