Who is Klarka ? Who am I ?

                                                                 I'm a therapist. Come and try  

 

My name is Klára and I'm using the form Klarka, like my friends and family used to called me.

I grew up having a simple life, (not meaning easy at all), with my mum and younger sister in the north of Czechia.

My passion was dancing and helping and caring for others, which continues to this day. I was diagnosed with scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine) when I was 10 years old, which led me to an orthopedist who I didn't like. The result was my scoliosis increased, without further checkups.

I already learned and loved massage, and I also loved giving massages to my friends and family.

When I finally  had a proper check up at the orthopedist's, he said that my spine needed surgery, to put a metal rod in the thoracic area.

My good luck came in: a friend of my uncle took me to a chiropractor, a very nice Indian lady, who recommended massages and exercises without surgery. To this day I'm happy I listened to her.

​

When the time came to decide what to study after high school, I considered physiotherapy, but I heard

that perfect physical condition was required for the entrance exams, and my strong scoliosis did not match that. So I chose international business and banking management instead.

After my studies I followed my heart and travelled a lot, working in short times jobs.

​

In 2014 I saw an advertisement for an international massage academy in Prague, I enrolled and found a place to stay in this beautiful city. I finished this long intense course of medical-clinical massage, and became a certificated therapist.  I went back there for 2 additional courses Ayurvedic massage, relaxing and Breuss massage, and spine focused with Dorn method physiotherapy manipulation.

I continue to educate myself by taking courses, watching videos etc.

 

I came to Luxembourg City in October 2015, where my boyfriend found a charming apartment in Pfaffenthal. In November of that year, while I was still working on getting my diplomas recognized to start work, I fell pregnant. With twins.

With a fast growing belly it was not possible to continue my work, and it would not be fair on a potential employer to start working for only a few months, so I stayed at home for 2 years with my babies, and then another year with the 3th one. I used the time not only to fully enjoy being brestfeeding mum with washable nappies instead of "plastic ones" but also to give massages to people near to me and to watch videos about energy, energetic healing, and mindfullness etc.

When my son was 2 years old and ready to go to nursery, I started to give more massages and to look for job. After such a long time at home it is not easy to get into the work market, plus I needed flexibility for my 3 little ones, so I decided to work as an independent self-employed person,

and to do what I love – helping people, and not only by massages and recommendations.

 

Despite the difficulties I have faced, I enjoy seeing the step-by-step growth of myself and of my business.

I'm greatful for seeing myself growing and for seeing my clients leaving very happy.

 

And it is funny to see how my children use the massage table and play giving massages to each other,

or come to massage me :-)
