Body Therapy by Titov

Massage You will experience here is unique and special, just as your body and You are. Even though I have a medical education, my approach is based on a balance between traditional and alternative medicine. By the way His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama has touched and blessed my hands. Even one massage session will noticeably improve your well-being and eliminate your back or other pains. You will feel a burst of energy, strength and cheerfulness. Helping my costumers, I always encourage them to believe in themselves, in their energy and strength. Whatever you expect from the procedure, in any case, there will be three of us: You, me and our common goal. It’s possible to reach it only by working together. I have been acquiring knowledge and skills from great masters in more than 30 countries around the world. During this time, I have met hundreds of people as my clients. You’re also very welcome!
