The Sacred History of Massage Therapy: Ancestral Healing Practices Honored at Luna Raíz
Hello my Lunas,
When I think about massage therapy in Montréal, I don’t see it as a trend or a service. I see it as a lineage. A sacred practice that has traveled through centuries, carrying wisdom in the simplest, most profound gesture: the power of touch.
From the first moment I laid my hands on someone with the intention to heal, I felt I was stepping into something ancient—something bigger than myself. And that is why, at Luna Raíz, I don’t just practice massage therapy… I honour it.
A History Written in the Body
The history of massage is as old as humanity itself. Thousands of years ago, in India, Ayurveda gave us the sacred art of abhyanga: warm oils poured over the body, not only to relax muscles but to harmonize body, mind, and spirit.
In China, records from over 3,000 years ago describe massage as medicine, restoring the flow of qi, the vital life energy. In Egypt, healers blended herbs and sacred oils with touch, transforming each session into ritual purification. In Greece and Rome, massage supported both athletes and warriors—preserving the strength and balance of the human body.
Everywhere across the world, massage therapy was never just physical. It was sacred. It was prayer. It was prevention. It was ceremony.
My Roots in Healing
I carry this lineage with me. Born in Venezuela and raised in Mexico, I grew up with traditions where nature and the body were never separate—where herbs, oils, and ancestral rituals were part of daily life.
Later, through my studies in naturopathy, herbology, holistic massage, and Ayurvedic massage, I found language and structure for what my heart already knew: massage is not only about fixing pain. It is about keeping balance before pain arrives. It is about remembering that the body is a temple, and every touch can be a blessing.
Massage at Luna Raíz: More Than Therapy
At Luna Raíz, massage therapy in Montréal is a continuation of this sacred history. Every treatment is more than therapy—it is ceremony. A place where ancient practices meet modern needs.
