About Me

Hola! I am Ilia Corella, a Certified Massage Therapist and Certified Modern Cupping Therapist living in Ojochal, Costa Rica. I have been cultivating calmness through therapeutic touch for the past two and a half years in the community.

I found massage therapy in 2020 after struggling with severe PTSD and anxiety from an abusive relationship. I was living in Florida at the time, seeking help for myself, when I found my way to Cortiva Institute, Massage Therapy & Skin Care School in St. Petersburg, Florida. During this program, I gained 11 different certifications, including Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports and Event Massage, Massage for Special Populations, Seated (Chair) Massage, Prenatal Massage, Hydrotherapy Massage, Reflexology, Stretching & more. While I was in the program, I branched out to other courses that sparked my interest, such as Cupping and Reiki. This is when I fell in love with the cupping method specifically. One can literally feel the power of these ancient tools, when incorporated in a session!

In 2022, I moved back to Costa Rica and began my massage therapy practice along a tranquil creek in the center of Ojochal. You can book me at your next wellness retreat and even a mobile session to your home. I continued my education at the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy, where I obtained my certification in Modern Cupping Therapy, which is now my most used technique.

Being a massage therapist, I experience the magic of healing every day, it is so rewarding to help heal others. Finding solutions for severe pain, anxiety, and helping people feel their very best has been incredibly rewarding. It is more than a job, it is a passion for me, in making a positive difference in people’s lives. Without a doubt, it is my calling. It would be my honor to help you on your journey towards wellness and relaxation!

Deep Tissue Therapy

Deep or firm pressure massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue, making it effective for relieving chronic aches and pains.

A customized blend of Deep Tissue Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Modern Cupping, MediCupping, and Assisted Stretching to relieve pain specific to certain areas of the body.

Targets specific areas of muscle tightness to alleviate localized pain and referred pain in other parts of the body. The main benefits include pain reduction, improved range of motion, and enhanced muscle function, contributing to better overall physical performance and comfort.

Combining traditional cupping techniques with massage to enhance therapeutic effects. The main benefits include improved blood circulation, reduced muscle tension, reduced trigger points, and enhanced lymphatic drainage, which can lead to relief from pain and inflammation, detoxification, and a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.

Assisted stretching helps lengthen your muscles so you can move more easily. It can offer a deeper and more intense stretch than people can achieve on their own, safely helping them attain a deeper, end-range stretch to increase range of motion in joints that are often locked or stiffened up. It can be done through clothes or directly on the skin.

The use of smooth, heated stones placed in the palms of the therapists hands then gently glided along the entire muscle of the body to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote a sense of deep relaxation.

Unwind with this relaxing massage that uses long, gentle yet firm strokes to improve circulation and reduce tension in the body and mind. Scalp and facial massage are a great addition to this treatment.

Note: If you’re unsure about which massage type suits you best, simply book a time frame, and our therapists will tailor your experience to your preferences.

Wonderful massage and a gorgeous, relaxing location. Ilia was incredible at finding my tension filled spots and working them out while remaining attentive to my comfort levels. It’s been 3 days and I’m still feeling light and flowy. Simply amazing!
