Massage, Yoga and Cacao Ceremonies with AMA Healing Touch, Las Galeras

Description

AMA Healing Touch is Ana Fernandez and Marcial Batista, a husband and wife team in Las Galeras.

That is what makes a session here different from a plain massage: every treatment ends with 10 minutes of guided relaxation, aromatherapy and sound healing, led by Ana, so the body has time to take in the work.
