Nestled in the neighborhood of Polanka, Poznań, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Posnania Shopping Gallery, Masaz Wabi offers a serene escape from the everyday hustle. Founded by two friends Ewa and Kasia, we met with Ewa who who makes sure this intimate massage studio embodies the Japanese Wabi Sabi philosophy, inviting guests into a world of simplicity and natural beauty.
Located down a flight of stairs, Masaz Wabi welcomes you with a magical-looking door that opens into an enchanting retreat. Stepping inside, you instantly forget the public stairway you just descended, as you are enveloped by an ambiance of tranquility and harmony. The Wabi Sabi philosophy here is all about simplicity, living in harmony with nature, and finding beauty in imperfection while appreciating every moment.
Wabi Sabi, a concept that celebrates the beauty found in imperfection and the peace that comes with time, is perfectly reflected in the atmosphere of Masaz Wabi. The name itself, combining “WABI” (simplicity) and “SABI” (beauty or peace), speaks volumes about the studio’s ethos. Here, professional massage therapists from Asia guide you into a state of deep relaxation, helping you to calm your mind and focus on the present.
When it comes to their massages, you will find a diverse array of massage categories to cater to different needs and preferences: Oriental massages incorporate traditional techniques from various Asian cultures; Classic massages use timeless methods aimed at relieving muscle tension and promoting relaxation; Relaxing massages are designed to soothe both body and mind; Specialty massages are tailored treatments that address specific issues or preferences; Partial massages focus on specific areas of the body; and Original massages combine various techniques for a holistic experience.
Among their standout signature treatments, the “Vacation in Bali” massage uses a proprietary combination of techniques from the island of Bali, providing a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The “Young God” massage is specially tailored for men, offering a 90-minute session that combines a deep and intense full-body Swedish massage with a choice of a face, head, or foot massage for the last 30 minutes. This treatment is perfect for relieving stress and muscle tension.
Massage prices at Masaz Wabi range from 190 PLN for a 60-minute Balinese massage to 360 PLN for the legendary Lomi Lomi 4 Hands massage. The latter is a special Hawaiian therapeutic treatment performed by two masseuses simultaneously, using oil to provide a deeply restorative experience.
Ewa and Kasia both speak excellent English and ensure that every client leaves feeling refreshed and eager to return. Her dedication to creating a welcoming and relaxing environment is evident in every aspect of the studio. Masaz Wabi is more than just a massage studio; it’s a sanctuary where you can escape the stresses of daily life and reconnect with yourself. Whether you’re looking for a traditional massage or a unique treatment, the skilled therapists at Masaz Wabi will provide a memorable and transformative experience.
