Super bien. Fuimos mi pareja y yo para un masaje descontracturante cada uno y quedamos muy contentos. A mi me atendió Cristina que es una gran profesional con una atención muy cálida. A mi novio le atendió un hombre (que no nos acordamos de su nombre, lo sentimos 😅) y tambien quedó encantado con su servicio. ¡Volveremos seguro!

Llevo varios años yendo a este centro para las depilaciones. Solo he tenido una mala experiencia cuando me atendieron 2 chicas y fue un desastre en cuanto a dolor y resultado. Desde entonces, siempre reservo con Yvonne y todo perfecto. Es muy amable, profesional y eficaz, trabajando siempre con cuidado para que duela lo menos posible. La recomiendo al 100%!

Hola. Mi última visita al centro fue para hacerme una depilacion con máquina. Quiero felicitar a Gabriela por su profesionalidad en este servicio. Excelente trato. El único pero, es que después del servicio no tuviera la oportunidad de ducharme. Por mucho que intentó quitar el bello, me fui con bastante pegado a la ropa.
En la visita anterior si me pude duchar.
Pero Gabriela EXCELENTE.

I was visiting my sister in Barcelona and I was in need of multiple lymphatic massages. I bought the 10 visit package and I could not have been happier. The spa is very relaxing and zen. Rudy Aguilar and all the other staff are very friendly and they have a calm and soothing way. You feel relaxed as soon as you walk in there. Besides the lymphatic massages with Rudy I also took one Swedish massage with Ana which was also very pleasant and relaxing. I would recommend anybody who is visiting Barcelona and want to have some relaxing massage to go here!

I had my relaxing massage for 90 minutes with Fab on my birthday. It was actually my first time to try a male therapist but there was never a time I felt uncomfortable because Fab was so gentle, kind and professional. The massage itself recharged and energized me for another couple of days of traveling, it was badly needed and it was superb experience overall! Highly recommended!!!

What is the ONA by INDIBA facial?
It is a deep cleansing facial that combines hydrodermabrasion, electroporation with LED light and electrostimulation. It cleans out pores, hydrates and tones the face in a single session, with no needles and no downtime.
ONA is the facial device by INDIBA, the Barcelona company known worldwide for its skincare technology. Unlike a traditional facial, it does not rely on manual extractions: hydrodermabrasion exfoliates and gently vacuums out impurities using water and active ingredients, without leaving marks on the skin.
Next, electroporation helps hydrating ingredients reach the skin more effectively, and electrostimulation works the facial muscles so your face looks firmer and more rested. You can see the result from the very first session.

Aurum Wellbeing · Carrer de Casanova 18, Sant Antoni (Barcelona)
The three steps of the full treatment
I
Hydrodermabrasion
Deep exfoliation and cleansing. The handpiece combines water and active ingredients with gentle suction to lift away dead skin cells, oil and impurities from the pores. It is the base of every option.
II
Electroporation with LED light
Once the skin is clean, gentle pulses help hydrating ingredients penetrate better, with no needles. LED light accompanies this step. Skin is left plumper and more radiant.
III
Facial electrostimulation
A low-frequency current works the facial muscles, like a small workout for your face. It helps your face look firmer, more defined and more rested.
Is it right for your skin?
It suits almost every skin type. These are the cases where it makes the biggest difference.
Clogged pores and blackheads
Hydrodermabrasion deep-cleans pores without manual extractions, so your skin isn’t left red or marked.
Dull or dehydrated skin
From stress, city pollution, sun or the change of season. Electroporation brings back hydration and glow.
Tired face or loss of tone
Electrostimulation works the facial muscles for a firmer, more rested look.
Before a special occasion
A wedding, an important photo or a special date. You leave with glowing skin, ready for make-up the same day.
Skin that reacts to classic facials
If traditional facials leave your skin red for days, this is a much gentler alternative.
Monthly maintenance
One session every three to four weeks follows your skin’s natural renewal cycle.

Getting the most out of it
Before
Avoid scrubs, acids or strong retinoids for two days beforehand, and stay out of strong sun. If you can, come without make-up. Let us know if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or metal implants in your face, or if your skin is irritated or broken.
After
You can go straight back to your day. Wear sunscreen and keep your skin moisturised. For a day or two, avoid scrubs and saunas to make the effect last longer.
ONA by INDIBA facial: FAQs
Is it the same as a HydraFacial®?
No. HydraFacial® is a registered trademark of another manufacturer. ONA is INDIBA’s device and uses a similar technique, hydrodermabrasion, adding electroporation with LED light and electrostimulation in the same session.
How is it different from a traditional facial?
A traditional facial relies on manual extractions, which can leave skin red for hours or days. With ONA, hydrodermabrasion cleans pores with water, active ingredients and gentle suction, and the full session adds hydration and tone.
Does it hurt?
No. Hydrodermabrasion feels like a gentle, cool suction. During electrostimulation you will feel small twitches in your face, which your therapist adjusts to your comfort.
Which option should I choose?
If it is your first time, the 55-minute full facial. For glow and hydration, hydrodermabrasion with electroporation. For a firmer face, hydrodermabrasion with electrostimulation. And if you only need to clear your pores, hydrodermabrasion on its own.
How often should I have it?
One session every three to four weeks is ideal to keep your skin clean and radiant. It also works as a one-off treatment before a special occasion.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
Yes. There is no downtime and your skin is ready for make-up. If you can, let it breathe for a few hours to enjoy the effect even more.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t have it?
Let us know beforehand if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or metal implants in your face, have epilepsy, or if your skin is irritated, sunburnt or broken. In those cases we adapt the treatment or suggest another option.

DEFINITION (direct answer for featured snippet)
========================================================= –>
What is a specialist deep tissue massage?
It is a therapeutic deep tissue massage that releases chronic or recurring muscle knots. It starts with an assessment of your posture and areas of tension, and treats not just the spot that hurts but the muscles causing it.
A standard massage brings relief. This one aims to stop the tension from coming back. That is why at Aurum, our centre in Barcelona, it is only performed by Rudy, the founder of the centre, and Mauricio: they have the most hours of deep bodywork on the team and are best at reading how tension links up across the body.
You feel the difference in the hands: more precise pressure, more time spent on each layer of muscle, and a session that adapts to how your body responds rather than following a fixed routine.
<!– =========================================================
AREAS / SIGNS
========================================================= –>
Does any of this sound familiar?
These are the cases we see most often on the table, and where this massage makes a real difference.
Tight neck and shoulders
Shoulders creeping up towards your ears, a stiff neck by the end of the day, or tension headaches after long hours at a screen.
Lower back and glutes
That ache that shows up when you stand up from your chair or after a day on your feet. The source is often in the glutes and hips.
The knot that always comes back
If other massages help for a couple of days and then it all returns, the symptom is probably being treated rather than the pattern of tension.
Upper and mid back
Knots between the shoulder blades, a closed-in chest and shallow breathing from a hunched posture held over time.
Sport and training overload
Legs, back or shoulders worn out by running, strength training, padel or cycling, and in need of a proper release.
Stress that stays in the body
A clenched jaw, hard shoulders and a body that never fully lets go, even when you rest.

Arrive a few minutes early so the assessment isn’t rushed. Avoid a heavy meal just beforehand. If you have an injury, recent surgery or are pregnant, let us know when you book.

FAQ
========================================================= –>
Deep tissue massage in Barcelona: FAQs
How is it different from a regular deep tissue massage?
In many places, deep tissue simply means firmer pressure. Ours is only performed by Rudy and Mauricio, starts with an assessment of your posture and areas of tension, and follows the chain of muscles behind the knot. It is designed for chronic or recurring tension, not just a stronger massage.
Is it a sports massage?
It works very well for sports overload, from running and padel to strength training, but it isn’t limited to athletes. Most of our clients come with tension from desk work, stress or posture.
Does it hurt?
You will feel some intensity in the tightest areas, but always within what your body can take. A muscle that is guarding won’t let go, so we adjust the pressure with you throughout the session.
Which length should I choose?
30 minutes for one very specific area. 45 minutes for two connected areas. 60 minutes if the tension affects your back, neck and shoulders, which is the option we recommend most. 90 minutes to work on the whole body without rushing.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on how long the tension has been there. Many people notice a clear change from the first session. For long-standing tension we usually recommend a few closer sessions at the start, then spacing them out.
How do I find it when booking online?
Our booking system is in Spanish, so this massage appears as Masaje descontracturante especializado. Choose that service, then pick Rudy or Mauricio and the length you want.
Can I choose between Rudy and Mauricio?
Yes. When you book online you can choose your therapist based on availability, or message us on WhatsApp at +34 664 477 019 and we’ll find you a slot.
Do you speak English?
Yes, you can book, ask questions and have your session in English.
Where are you?
At Carrer de Casanova 18, in Sant Antoni (Eixample), a short walk from Urgell metro station (L1) and Plaça Universitat.
Does it replace a physiotherapist or a doctor?
No. It is a wellbeing massage to release muscle tension. If you have an injury, sharp pain with no clear cause, inflammation or a fever, check with your doctor or physiotherapist first.

Autumn Skin Care
Autumn Skin Care with Aurum Wellbeing: An Essential Guide
Autumn, with its crisp air and golden leaves, is a lovely season, but it also brings with it specific challenges for the health of our skin. The change of season means adapting our care routine to address the needs of this period. In this article, we’ll explore in depth the needs of autumn skin and how Aurum Wellbeing products can help you keep your complexion radiant and healthy.
Deep moisturizing: combating dryness
Autumn is a time when moisture in the air decreases, which can leave your skin dehydrated and rough. It’s vital to supply it with deep hydration to keep it soft and supple. Aurum Wellbeing’s moisturizing products are the answer.
Aurum Wellbeing face creams, formulated with high-quality natural ingredients, are ideal for keeping your skin well hydrated during the fall. Look for products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and shea butter, which have the ability to retain moisture and restore the skin barrier. These ingredients help prevent dryness.
The use of a moisturizer in the morning and at night, after cleansing, is essential. This will not only provide hydration, but will also seal in moisture, protecting you from the adverse effects of dehydration.
Continuous sun protection
As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, it’s easy to underestimate the importance of sun protection. However, the sun’s harmful UV rays can cause damage even in autumn. Aurum Wellbeing sunscreens are your defense against this constant risk.
Aurum Wellbeing’s line of sunscreens is designed to provide you with effective protection. These products not only protect against harmful rays, but also help prevent premature aging and sun damage. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can penetrate, so sun protection should be a fundamental part of your routine all year round.
Gentle exfoliation: renewing yourself in autumn
Gentle exfoliation is essential to remove dead skin cells that can build up during the fall. Not only can these dead cells dull your complexion, but they can also clog pores and cause blemishes.
Aurum Wellbeing offers gentle exfoliating products that are ideal for this task. These products, often formulated with natural ingredients, help to effectively remove dead skin cells without causing irritation. This is essential for maintaining a radiant complexion while preventing dryness and roughness.
Gentle exfoliation should be done once or twice a week, depending on your skin type. This will help stimulate cell turnover and maintain fresh, glowing skin all fall long.
Nutrition with natural ingredients
Autumn is a season rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Aurum Wellbeing products are enriched with natural ingredients that can nourish and protect your skin, keeping it healthy and with a natural glow.
Look for products that contain ingredients such as rosehip oils and vitamin C. Rosehip oil is known for its regenerative properties and ability to improve skin texture. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that fights free radicals and stimulates collagen production, which helps keep skin looking youthful and radiant.
Personalized treatments
Every skin type is unique, and at Aurum Wellbeing, they understand the importance of personalization. The products and professional treatments we perform are tailored to your specific needs, whether you have dry, sensitive, oily or mature skin. This ensures that your skin receives the right treatment to thrive in the autumn environment.
Customization means you can effectively address your skin’s needs. For example, if your skin tends to dry out in the fall, you can opt for products that are richer in moisture. If you have sensitive skin, you can choose products formulated to minimize irritation.
Treat yourself to the care you deserve in autumn.
In short, the changing seasons can be a challenge for the skin, but with Aurum Wellbeing’s line of products, you can effectively address these specific needs. Their natural and customizable products are your ally in maintaining healthy, radiant skin throughout the fall. Take advantage of this season to pamper and nourish your skin with Aurum Wellbeing’s quality products and professional treatments. Your skin will thank you with a radiant and healthy complexion all season long.
Main benefits of Reiki, wellness and balance
In this article we want to highlight the benefits of Reiki on the balance of emotions and health.
The discipline of Reiki is based on the concept that body and mind are one entity, and the universe is but an extension of ourselves. Through the energetic body junctions, or chakras, passes the same energy that moves the planets. This balance allows man to tune not only to universal forces, but also to his own body.
Simply put, Reiki is just a passage of clean, strong energy from one individual to another. The result is a sense of well-being that helps in the treatment of physical, mental or emotional illnesses.
The main benefits of Reiki
2. It can help combat insomnia problems, improving the balance of sleep-wake cycle functions.
3. When we work on reducing stress, it often happens that chronic pains and psychosomatic diseases decrease
4. As studies show, a state of deep relaxation helps strengthen the immune system
5. Stimulates cell regeneration, lymphatic system and endocrine system.
We raise the levels of energy and concentration, we are in a state of openness that leads us to reconsider our blocks.
How does reiki work?
During a reiki session, the hands act as a heat conductor. Those who receive treatment are open to empathic contact capable of generating a climate of trust and deep calm. It is based on the simple, very old concept that the body heat, produced naturally by each of us, can positively influence. in the release of emotions. It actually allows us to enter into a relationship with the flow of our feelings at a deep level.
What’s a Reiki session like?
During a Reiki massage the operator gently touches specific areas of the body. Thus transmits its pure and clean energy to the recipient of the “massage”.
Reiki’s treatment aims to “reopen” the energy poles of the body by imposing hands and infusing vital energy of a healthy subject, the “masseur”, to the recipient, who may have lost balance. This step of energy must take place in a suitable environment, calm and relaxed, and, despite the light touch of the operator, something profound happens that, in many cases, is recorded at a level above all emotional.
Through Reiki treatment, the recipient regains his psychophysical balance in a state of complete abandonment and confidence, and experiences a form of inner spiritual awakening capable of releasing effects.
Among the benefits of Reiki the most important is that it helps the body to relax. Thus one enters into deep harmony with himself, his needs and the duties of the world around him.
On a more practical level, strengthening the body and mind in a comprehensive way, this discipline reduces the effects of insomnia and activates the immune system.
Let energy flow by focusing on the goal of treatment: wellness.
Citronella against mosquitoes: natural essential oil and diffusers
The Citronella plant against mosquitoes is effective to ward off annoying insects especially in summer.
Citronela plant against mosquitoes is a natural option
100% natural product
Non-toxic
Non-irritating
Ideal for indoor and outdoor use
Effective immediately
Antimosquitos organic essential oils diffusers
When the heat arrives, the mosquitoes that bother with their buzz and bites also arrive. Classic repellents are often used but their action is not “healthy” due to chemical agents. A healthier method to combat them is undoubtedly the essential oil of Citronela against mosquitoes.
If you want to rest in peace and protect children from insects, Citronela essential oil is a better solution than classic repellents. In fact it does not leave odors and contains no chemicals.
Special diffusers for essential oils that do not alter the properties of the essences
Diffusers can be placed inside and outside, on terraces or gardens or over windows.
You should opt for ultrasonic models or cold diffusers. Unlike burners, these two types do not alter the properties of oils.
Diffuser of essences by ultrasound
In the ultrasonic essential oils diffuser water is inserted into the appropriate container. A transducer inside is heated with electrical energy and this allows the diffusion of the essence (also the oil is inserted in the container).
Diffuser of essences in cold
Like the previous diffuser, the cold essence diffuser retains the properties of essential oils. It is made with eco-friendly bamboo fiber, wood and blown glass.

How often is a massage necessary?
How often is a massage necessary?
This is a question that I often ask people in consultation about massage. There is no definite rule for answering this question.
There are various personal factors of each to consider. For example the time, the economy, the level of stress that a person can accumulate for his work, responsibilities, sports practice, etc.
I recommend depending on these factors and the needs of each person as minimum one massage per month. This way you can release the tensions that are accumulating in the day to day and these tensions are not allowed to settle in the body. In fact the muscles, by accumulating so much tension, are getting shorter. This can bring various mobility problems. Flexibility can even be lost and pressure can sometimes occur in areas where there is some nerve branching, such as the neck or lumbar area.
All of the above can cause a lot of pain and even cause sciatica or cervical pain. Those who suffer from cervical pain may have dizziness. A kind of heaviness is usually noticed, as if carrying a heavy backpack.
In the case of sports massages it is highly recommended to do at least 1 massage every 2 weeks and if every week is better. The stress to which the body is subjected during training can be very high. In addition, it is very beneficial because it discharges all muscle tension, prevents possible injuries, eliminates adhesions, helps in the recovery phase and increases physical performance.
A professional massage can represent an effective remedy to cure any disease. It is also a method of preventing some ailments. It is contraindicated in case of acute colds, fever, severe inflammation, hemorrhaging,skin diseases.
Duration
The duration depends a lot on the area to work and the needs of the body.
For full body I recommend you choose at least an hour or 90 minutes.
If the massage is descontracturante or deep tissue, depends on the area, whether it is shoulders and neck with 30 minutes are ok.
For complete back and it is the first time you do a massage or have a lot of tension it is best 45 minutes or 1 hour. Usually, unfortunately, it usually waits until the body has accumulated too much tension and then it takes its time to release all that tension that sometimes accumulates for years.
Benefits
The benefits of a well-done relaxing massage are immediately perceived. Relaxation interests the body and mind, influencing circulation and eliminating toxins. The muscles regenerate and the sense of heaviness decreases. Massages also improve the quality of sleep, and increases the energies.
As I said before there is no fixed rule. If you have the time, the necessary economy and suffer from stress from your job or responsibilities, more is better. Massage will help you get into that state of relaxation you need. Even if it is only an hour your body will appreciate it and you can give more of yourself and better in everything you do.
In conclusion, more is better, and don’t postpone it please do it for the care your body needs. Your body is your container and it is always better to have a healthy and well-kept body, otherwise, in the end, tensions take their toll.
Massage oils: Aromatherapy is the best option.
If you want the experience to be more personalized you can add essential oils and get the best results you are looking for in the shortest time. Aromatherapy helps you to work in depth with your physical body and relax your mind and emotions more because smells connect with our limbic system and these can help you find peace in moments of crisis.
The essential oils of plants and flowers are quite powerful and thanks to the fact that they are completely natural their absorption is usually very fast, even by the olfactory way.
Here we leave you our recommendations that are prepared that are ready to use and enjoy
Relax Zen: With essential oils specifically to disconnect and relax.
Muscle Oil: If you are a sport practitioner or accumulate tension and what you need is a decontracting massage this is the best option for you.
Oil Dren: Formula specially designed to combat tired legs, fluid retention, dry skin and lymphatic system problems. You can accompany it with the treatment of Lymphatic Drainage Manual.
Celuderm: This formula is intended to combat cellulitis and eliminate it, its use is recommended daily. In addition, by its composition of essential oils releases the body of toxins, making a detox and purifying effect.
Firm Oil: Specifically designed to bring firmness and tone back to the skin when it is lost. Also for its combination is an excellent moisturizer and can be used in cases of stretch marks.

Aromatherapy. It adds beneficial effects to massage. What is it and what is it for?
What is Aromatherapy, what is it for and how does it work?
Aromatherapy is a therapy through aromas. It uses essential oils (the aromatic part of the plant) extracted from whole plants, leaves, stems, roots, flowers and resins of trees and plants that work on the physical, mental and emotional aspects of people and animals. There are different methods to obtain the essential oil, which is the aromatic part of the plant, among the most used we have:
Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years and has given good results. Especially in massage, a few drops are added to the base oil. Depending on the essence used, different effects are achieved. In general the essences I use in my practice are wintergreen, rosemary and sage. Thanks to this combination aromatherapy works on a deep muscular level and also on a mental level so that the person relaxes and thus in one session achieves the maximum possible result.

Main essences of Aromatherapy
Rosemary:
It is useful for relieving muscular pain and joint pain. It also slows down skin ageing, promotes memory and concentration. At the same time it stimulates the gall bladder. It relieves coughs, colds and flus by helping to expel accumulated mucus from the respiratory tract. Rosemary essential oil stimulates blood circulation and helps to regulate menstruation. On the other hand, it favours the proper functioning of the digestive system and helps to regulate fats.
It is used to combat fluid retention. It combats drowsiness thanks to its stimulating effect. It improves irritated and sensitive skin, eczema and dermatitis and helps to mitigate acne. Rosemary essential oil improves the symptoms of rheumatism and gout. It accelerates wound healing. Finally, it fortifies the scalp, is a natural remedy to combat dandruff and stimulates hair growth.
Rosemary essential oil is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Wintergreen:
The chemotyped essential oils of wintergreen olorosa relieve muscle pain associated with physical exhaustion, back pain, arthritis and any musculoskeletal problems. It helps to relax muscles and decreases inflammation of joints and tendons.
Sage:
has anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it is recommended in cases of illnesses such as rheumatism, arthritis, as well as to relieve muscular pain. It also acts as a muscle relaxant. For this reason, some sportsmen and women turn to sage when their muscles are sore due to a bad movement or overexertion.
If you are allergic to any scent or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the use of aromatherapy essences in massage is contraindicated.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a method included in the field of alternative therapeutic practices recommended by the WHO, World Health Organization of the UN.
It is also a therapeutic practice in which there is, so to speak, a receiver of universal energy. The universal energy surrounds everything, and transmits it to another person, plant, animal, event, emotion etc… Reiki today is having more and more boom due to its positive effects for those who receive this type of therapy.
How does Reiki work through the body?
Well, basically balancing the subtle energies of the person receiving it, that is, if you are stressed or shocked, Reiki will bring you to a state of peace and tranquility. For example we can imagine waves that go at high speed and are disorderly. Suddenly they are subjected to a frequency of waves that are slower and more orderly. Ultimately the encounter between these two frequencies will bring them into balance. Since the Universal Energy has more strength, it will make the others go at the same rhythm.
How many Reiki sessions are needed to become balanced?
I recommend a minimum of 4 sessions. However, it depends on the person, their evolution and adaptation to the change. There are people who feel better with 2 sessions, there are others who need a little more than 4.
Reiki is not any kind of religion, it is a healing system that can be used at any time of our lives, or as a personal development by doing sessions to ourselves.
