About Mariela
Therapeutic massage in Newhaven, built around one idea: your body deserves proper attention, not just an occasional treat.
My story
Therapeutic Massage By Mariela started with a simple observation: most of the women coming to me for massage weren’t looking for a spa day. They were looking for relief — for the tension that had settled into their shoulders after another long week, for a pregnancy that ached in places nobody warned them about, for permission to lie still for an hour without feeling guilty about it.
I trained in therapeutic and remedial massage after watching too many friends and family push through pain because they didn’t think it was ‘bad enough’ to see anyone about. Now I run a private studio here in Newhaven, working with women who want to look after their health properly — not just occasionally.
Every session starts the same way: a few honest questions about what’s going on in your body, and a treatment that’s built around the answers rather than a fixed routine.
My mission is simple — to make therapeutic massage feel like a normal, sensible part of looking after your health, not an occasional treat you feel like you have to justify.
What makes it different
Treatment, not just relaxation
Sessions are built to actually address what’s going on in your body, not just feel nice for an hour.
A private, unhurried space
One client at a time — no back-to-back scheduling that cuts your session short.
Trained for pregnancy & sensitive needs
Safe positioning and technique for each trimester, not a generic rub-down.
Straight answers
If massage isn’t the right thing for what you’re dealing with, that’s exactly what you’ll hear.
