Elke Scior
Visiting Therapist
Elke was born in Germany and has been living in Ibiza since 2012, where she offers Massage Therapy, Clarity Breathwork Sessions, and Detox Programs all year around. She has had 15 years of experience in Bodywork and Holistic Healing.

Her journey began in Germany by practicing Yoga, which led her to travel to India, where she spent several years studying Iyengar Yoga and Ayurveda. During this time, she learned many different massage techniques including Meridian and Marma point massage, deep tissue, and foot reflexology. On this path, she also trained in breathwork and Shamanic healing, which is weaved into her sessions.

She continues to study new therapies, Nutrition, and different ways of detoxifying the system as today stress and emotions can manifest as pain and discomfort in our body.

Elke’s massages are a unique combination of different styles to bring back flexibility and harmony to body, mind, and spirit. She works very individually, as every person has different needs.

Through massaging the whole body with gentle, deep strokes, she helps you tap into what’s underneath the surface, feel your emotions, and experience a release, which brings a deep relaxation at the end of the session, where you feel energized and rejuvenated.

He returned to India many more times to continue specialising in Ayurvedic massage and for additional yoga training.

His love of bodywork led him to later study different massage techniques across the world including Chuaka and Body Harmony in Santiago (Chile), Sports Massage in Atlanta (USA), Traditional Thai and Thai Oil Massage in Chiang Mai (Thailand).

With this extensive background, Boris has developed his own intuitive massage technique which unlocks one’s energies through a physical therapy acting on the skeletal structure, muscle and tissue. The result is to liberate fears and burdens that are held inside the physical body, allowing it to recover its natural flexibility and resulting in pain relief and relaxation.

Eva Thomas

Visiting Therapist

Ever since Eva was a young girl, growing up in Germany, she was utterly passionate about movement and dancing. She danced not just with her body but with her whole spirit and became interested in traditional healing methods from a young age.

Ever since Eva was a young girl, growing up in Germany, she was utterly passionate about movement and dancing. She danced not just with her body but with her whole spirit and became interested in traditional healing methods from a young age.

Eva with a cup

Through her love of helping people to heal themselves she completed all 7 levels of Ka Huna massage and bodywork training at High Spirits Institute in Australia and has been working as a Ka Huna body worker since 2010. She has established various massage sanctuaries in Australia and Germany and now works from her home in Mullumbimby - nestled in the rainbow region in the northern rivers area of Australia.

She also specialises in foot reflexology, deep belly abdominal massage and emotional release techniques which she integrates into her massages. Her recent training in Somatic Experiencing (trauma informed massage) is accredited by the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute established by Dr.Peter Levine.

In addition to her professional western training at various institutes, Eva also spent time learning traditional healing methods in Mayan villages in Guatemala, sacred places in the Amazon and in secluded huts in the Australian bush.

Ka Huna massage is not just an ordinary massage but an experience that leaves the body, mind and spirit feeling whole, connected, energised and at the same time deeply relaxed. Her clients often describe it as “something special happens during the massage that is hard to describe”, “ Afterwards I feel like floating”, “ I feel connected to something deep inside”.

Eva uses organic coconut oil and massages with long flowing strokes using her hands and forearms, sometimes underneath and on top of the body at the same time, while she moves with dance-like steps around the massage table.

Ka Huna massage comes from the Hawaiian shamanic tradition and Eva combines her “seeing hands” with her open heart and intuitive grounded presence and years of experience. She is very confident to hold space for you in a safe environment.

Each bodywork session is uniquely adapted to who you are at that moment.

After many years of study with Dien Chan masters he has developed this therapy into a unique treatment that integrates a range of bodywork and healing techniques.

The face is deeply connected to many aspects of our health, Dien Chan specializes in mapping out these connections and harnessing them for healing and rejuvenation. Dien Chan is unique in that it has identified over 300 individual points on the face, all with specific actions on different aspects of the body and mind. Much of the physical, mental, and emotional stress that we carry, which negatively impacts all aspects of our health, is held in our face and our expression. Dien Chan treatments release this tension and stress from the head, neck and face, which then creates a positive cascade effect throughout the body. A number of massage tools have been specially designed to aid in this process. The effect is highly relaxing and rejuvenating.

Dien Chan works on many layers- it soothes and balances the nervous system, helps harmonize hormones, reduces inflammation, boosts immunity and detox, and also can affect and release mental-emotional patterns. As such, treatments can benefit and assist in healing many illnesses, especially with people coping with stress and fatigue, sleeping issues, blood pressure imbalance, headaches and pain, poor digestion or hormonal imbalances. At Ulpotha Alex will be offering treatments that combine Dien Chan facial reflexology and healing massage in both 60 and 90 minute sessions. Acupuncture will also be available for those who wish.

Alex was born, lives and works in London, and specializes in helping resolve stress and trauma. He has had years of experience teaching qigong and tea ceremony at Khiron House, a pioneering trauma centre in Oxfordshire. He is also a regular visiting practitioner for some of the world’s leading wellness centres and Spas, including Kamalaya in Thailand, Ananda in the Himalayas, the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong and Nihi Sumba in Indonesia. Alex brings experience from many fields into his treatments, and is passionate about helping people towards optimum health and happiness.

Jon Fellman

Visiting Therapist

Jon Fellman began his career in healthcare over 30 years ago as a trainer at a health club after rehabilitating himself following a very serious car accident at the age of 16.

He works in health retreats where he teaches yoga and meditation, Jedi Frisbee, Contact Yoga, and offers Zero Balancing bodywork. He has adored and visited Ulpotha since its early days.

After learning from gifted teachers and practicing several styles of massage, Andy has been refining the art of healing touch for over 30 years. He now focuses on Zero Balancing, which he finds to be deeply healing and delightful to give and receive.

Zero Balancing is received clothed, lying comfortably on a table; "fulcrums" are introduced into your body - gentle held stretches and lifted pressure - which contact your energy and structure in points of stillness: these fulcrums rebalance the energy of your skeleton and realign your bones, where resides your deepest self. It feels deeply relaxing and nourishing.

Consider yourself to be like a sailing boat: your body is the boat and your energy is the wind, and Zero Balancing "trims your sails" so you can move with ease and vitality. It is the perfect adjunct to yoga inasmuch as it supports your self-awareness and deepens your connection to yourself. It also happens to feel fabulous!
