Hello

My name is Monika, I am the founder of Inner Peace Massage and I am a massage therapist. At first, I did not enjoy massaging and even avoided it because I disliked touch and being touched. I am originally from Poland but have been living in Galway, Ireland for over 20 years.
Everything changed for me in 2015 when I started getting to know myself again.  It was a time of inner metamorphosis where I questioned what changes I wanted in my life, what made me happy, and what direction I wanted to train.
In 2018, I attended my first massage course at the Karuna Academy in Rytel, Poland. I wanted to see if massage was right for me, a touch that I had avoided for so long.
At Academy, I met passionate and caring people who allowed me to express myself through massage. I fell in love with it and returned for additional courses to gain more experience. I have completed courses in various massages including
-Ayurvedic massages (Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Shiroabhyanga, Ratnaabhyanga, Udvartana,  Upanhasveda)
-Hawaiian Lomi Lomi
-Tibetan singing bowls
- Chinese massage
-Balinese massage
-deep tissue
-sport massage
-Japanese face lifting Kobido massage
- manualtharapy course – chiropractics, diagnostics of peripheral joints and spin
-aromatherapy
-reiki
and among others.
Massage has become a way for me to express empathy, share positive energy, and communicate with the body. It is not just mechanical kneading but a conversation with the body, listening to what it needs.
I launched my own business in 2019. Despite the unexpected challenges of the world shutting down, I deepened my knowledge and focused on spiritual development. I returned with a renewed sense of balance and peace, ready to help others find relaxation and relief from physical and mental pain.
After a time, I started to notice that the number of clients was increasing, the schedule was filling up quickly, and I felt that soon I would need help. So I began to talk loudly about it to friends and family, hoping that the universe would hear me and bring a solution. And it happened. My husband asked me what I thought about him joining the business. At first, I thought he was joking, I even gave him a few weeks to think it over, but the more I thought about it, the idea seemed brilliant.
