Deep Fascia Release Self-Massage Workshops

Tired of tension that keeps coming back?

Release Deep Tension and Feel the Difference

Deep Fascia Release is a series of workshops where I show you how to work with deep tension trapped in your body in a gentle and safe way.

With conscious breathing and a clear structure, the whole session supports your body to release and relax step by step.

This is a simple structure that you can easily repeat and practice on your own at home.

Welcome!

I’m delighted to invite you to regular Self-Massage workshops that I run in Kilbeggan.

I'm a massage therapist with over 15 years of experience. I studied Shiatsu and Chinese Medicine and love weaving this knowledge into every session, workshop, and class I offer. I'm a qualified foam rolling & fascial release instructor, teaching people how to work with tight fascia and muscles in a safe and effective way.

My intention is to create a space where you can release tension and tune into your body. I hope to give you tools that will help you release deeply stored tension, and better understand and connect with your body.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Anna Pomykala-Gajdek

Upcoming Workshops & Classes

Learn a different way of understanding and working with tension and discover a deeper connection with your body.

Back, Neck & Shoulders| Fascia Release Workshop | Kilbeggan

Join me for a new workshop dedicated to releasing tension in the upper body.

Explore self-massage techniques for the neck & shoulders and discover how fascia and meridian lines connect throughout your body.

We have 6 meridian pathways running through each arm — during this session you will learn a very unique perspective on releasing tension in the arms, neck and shoulders. Instead of working on one painful spot, you'll learn to work with the whole line that connects the myofascial and muscle lines.

Who will benefit:

  • You carry a lot of tension in your shoulders

  • You have had an injury in the past that you can still feel

  • Frozen shoulder syndrome

  • Restricted range of movement in the shoulder joint

Sunday, October 18th | 11am –1pm. | Fire & Earth Studio | Kilbeggan

What my clients say

  • "All I can say is if you give deep fascia release a try you may find it is the best gift you have ever given yourself"

    I booked my first workshop with Anna in January at a time when no matter how I exercised, stretched and tried to recover, my body felt tight. My lower back, my neck and shoulders all carrying stress and tension. From that first workshop I knew this was for me and I began doing the online sessions with Anna twice weekly. My body has responded to the fascia release techniques better than I could have possibly hoped for. I also experienced jaw pain and tightness and working on my feet and legs helped in a way I could hardly believe. The best way I can describe it is feeling lighter in my body. The areas that troubled me still give bother at times but never to the same extent as before. Apart from the physical side I find myself better connected to my body mentally. I have a greater awareness of my body and how I am affected by things. All I can say is if you give deep fascia release a try you may find it is the best gift you have ever given yourself. Audrey

  • "I used to think of foam rolling as something you endured..."

    "I used to think of foam rolling as something you endured... all grimaces and gritted teeth... but Ania’s classes completely changed that for me! Her approach is so soothing and nurturing, and she creates such a calming and grounding space that transforms what could be a chore into an absolute pleasure. Any tension, whether in body or mind, just melts away. These classes are a little haven at the end of the week, something I genuinely look forward to. Forget everything you thought you knew about foam rolling, this feels entirely different! ❤" Mary

  • I've been nervously thinking about foam rolling for years and now feel confident in using them.

    After only one session in a supportive group of women of all ages, my muscles felt like they could relax and release for the first time in months. Anna is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle in her approach and supportive in adapting various movements to meet individual needs. All week after our classes, I'm more aware of my body, my posture, what movements are beneficial and to be gentler with myself. And I look forward to getting back to class. She has different foam rolling equipment for different movements, that are all very easy to follow and so effective in getting deep into muscle tension. I've been nervously thinking about foam rolling for years and now feel confident in using them. There's no pain, only relief as my muscles sigh, and the class is fun with some deep sighs and laughter too. I can't recommend Anna and her massage and classes enough. Grace

  • I now roll my feet daily

    I attended Anna's self-massage classes where she introduces you to a range of foam rollers that can be used in the home. I now roll my feet daily, following Anna's direction, which has really helped to reduce aches and pains not only in my arches, but also my calf muscles and hamstrings. I cannot recommend Anna at Ciao therapy enough! Lauren

  • “Thank you Anna, the workshop was really enjoyable and informative. I was a bit nervous but everyone was so welcoming.”
