Who you are letting in

Meet Suzy-Laura

I am Suzy-Laura Rodrigues, a wellness practitioner certified by the École Internationale du Spa in Paris. I work alone, and I am the one who comes to you, with my own equipment.

In a few words

Where I come from

I worked as a hospital pharmacy technician, then as head of sterilisation in the operating theatre. Fifteen years of rigour, protocols and responsibility.

I saw precise, necessary work there, done by admirable teams. I also saw that there was never time for another kind of contact: the kind that asks for nothing, corrects nothing, and yet does an enormous amount of good.

That is what made me change profession.

Changing course

I trained at the École Internationale du Spa in Paris, and came out a certified wellness practitioner.

I am not a healthcare professional, and I do not pretend to be. My role stops where a doctor’s begins: I never step into their place, only alongside. What I bring is time, attention, and a touch that does not hurt.

Today I work across the Algarve, from Albufeira, and I come to you at home, in a hotel or in a villa.

The Ritual in three movements

I do more than massage. Every session follows the same shape, because a body does not relax on command: it needs a beginning and an end.

  1. 01

    The arriving breath

    A few minutes sitting down, to let the quiet settle and to hear how you really are. That is where the session takes shape.

  2. 02

    The massage, shaped around your day

    Pressure, pace and areas follow how you feel today. I keep asking as we go, and you can say stop without explaining why.

  3. 03

    The returning breath

    A breath, a glass of water, and a few words before you pick your day back up. You do not get up from a massage the way you leave a meeting.

Which language will we speak?

I speak French and Portuguese fluently. English I am still learning, and I get a little better every week. Speak to me simply, with a little patience, and we will understand each other very well.

The Ritual for Frail People

What I saw in hospital gave rise to something apart: a short, very gentle session for people whom life has left frail. It is the one closest to my heart.
