Inspired by ancient knowledge and the most updatedscience studies, a healthy lifestyle, the sea, the outdoor sports,and the amazing wild nature...
Since the first day, Hasta Elements follows a motto: "Flow your motion".And we use it literally on all matters through work dynamism, mobility andflexibility at dozens of locations, events and retreats. Each therapy massage is personalised because everyone is unique.It all started in 2011, by building the Amado beach hut by my own hands and with the help of my friends, a dream came true.
My approach / I care about
Personally selecting my range of products
Homeopathic Ointments, Natural Balms, Essential Oils
Developing an understanding of the individual situation of
each person
Searching for effective treatment, tools and techniques for people’s individual needs, in order to make recommendations for healthy pratctices: providing coaching support to those who are proactive and have interest in working towards a healthier lifestyle.
Using this whole approach to treating
Means I focus on fully understanding the individual situation of every person.
From wich I can recommend exercises to use as prevention and offer advice on additional therapies that can benefit the individual.
I believe that taking the time to recognize a problem is the first step well-being, and that guiding people to find practices (for example: teaching people to treat inflammatory spikes, but also offering postural education to correct problems that lead to pain) and to improve the range of motion leads to a better quality of life, by recovering and strenghtening, rather than just treating the symptoms.

“I had such bad problems with my neck that I couldn't move my head. Angela worked for 2 sessions, with MPS and massage that released my neck and the pain. It was like magic to move normally again!”
by Gail Bennie
“After months of being in pain, drained and emotionally exhausted, I felt positive energy coming back, and my body was able to recuperate in a very short time. I recommend her to everyone who is in need! Just excellent!”

“After a few years of injury, Angela was the only one to tell me what it was and resolve it. I couldn't lift my arm more than 45 degrees, and now I can raise it again.”

“I have big problems with my back - two vertebrae that are dead - so should not do sports, but have great desire. I've had several times crises, and few people know how to treat the problem, but with Angela I can always count on her to ease the pain, and return to normality as soon as possible. Thank you, Angela.”
by Didier Zammattio
“The previous week to walking Caminho de Santiago, I had an episode of sciatica, which I feared would stop my ability to walk the hundreds of kms. I went to a massage therapy session with Angela, who applied MPS, Myofascial Techniques, released fascial tissue and joints. The next walk the pain disappeared. Thanks Angela.”
