feel better

baby face in 75 minutes?
take 10 years off your face — no needles, no pain!

What I love most about Kobido massage is that while you relax, I give your face muscles an intense workout, and at the end we both get to enjoy how things have lifted here and smoothed there.

But that’s not all I have up my sleeve for your wellbeing!

Kobido 250 PLN

Japanese lifting facial massage. Five parts: deep tissue work, relaxation, lymphatic drainage, lifting, and acupressure. You leave relaxed, with a face that looks like it had a properly regenerating night of sleep. The lifting effect is visible immediately (though not permanent). If you’re after total relaxation — I recommend this one. No special preparation needed; you can even eat lunch beforehand, since you’ll mostly be lying on your back.

Duration 1h 15 minPrice 250 PLN

Kobido + taping 300 PLN

To deepen the lifting effect, Kobido can be followed by taping in three areas. Options: reducing the “double” chin (chin + neck), softening nasal folds, smoothing the frown line on the forehead, or the crow’s feet at the temples.

Duration 1h 45 minPrice 300 PLN

Classical massage — partial 150 PLN

Available in different combinations: back + arms, back + legs, or just back. Depending on your sensitivity and whether you go for massages regularly, it can be firmer or lighter. Aim: releasing tension. If you don’t do sports or get massages, I’d advise against starting with a hard squeeze — a single classical massage won’t undo years of desk work.

Duration 1hPrice 150 PLN

Classical massage — full body 200 PLN

Covers legs, arms, back, abdomen and chest — or chosen combinations. Pressure depends on your sensitivity, but the goal is releasing tension. Works best as a regular part of self-care, not as a one-off.

Duration 1h 30 minPrice 200 PLN

Sports massage 200 PLN

Intensive massage for people regularly training something. Depending on the discipline and the moment in the training-competition season, focused on specific muscle groups.

Duration 1hPrice 200 PLN

Chinese cupping massage 200 PLN

Massage using silicone cups that draw skin and subcutaneous tissue through negative pressure. Reduces muscle and fascial tension, firms the skin, and has an “anti-cellulite” effect (cellulite is, naturally, a normal skin feature!). Cupping works on legs, sides, arms — optionally finishing with cups on the back, for general wellbeing.

Duration 1hPrice 200 PLN

Lymphatic drainage — legs 200 PLN

A slow, mechanical movement of lymph aimed at reducing leg swelling. If you stand a lot at work, are pregnant, or simply tend to swell — it helps. Very relaxing, though long and not at all an intensive massage.

Duration 2hPrice 200 PLN
book now
Reiki session 200 PLN

A method of energy work developed by Mikao Usui, aimed at activating the body’s potential for self-healing — and at deep relaxation. The session transmits universal life energy (rei — universal, ki — life energy, as in qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine) through hands placed at specific points on the body. My favourite part: you don’t have to believe in Reiki for it to work.

Portrait of Marta, founder of nepenthe
about me

nepenthe in Greek mythology, an elixir for sorrow, grief and mourning. Something that brings relief and lets you forget your suffering.
And I want to offer you that forgetting through bodywork.

Hi, my name is Marta Saracyn! After a substantial career in the non-profit sector, I decided to shift my focus from the communal level to working with individuals.

I believe that body and mind are inseparable, and that working with physical tension is also working with emotions, and vice versa. In the constant pursuit of wellbeing, my tools are: classical massage, Japanese Kobido massage and Reiki sessions.

I completed a vocational course in classical massage, levels I and II, in the extended 120-hour variant, at Akademia Urody.

I trained in Kobido massage at the school of Tomasz Tomasik — a pioneer of the method, who introduced Kobido to Poland. At Akademia Spa Tomasz Tomasik I also completed a course in aesthetic taping.

I received my first- and second-degree Reiki training and initiation in the Usui Shiki Ryoho system from Ola Żelaznowska-Słowik.
