About me - Massage & Yoga Therapy in Costa Rica

Who I AM

My name is Britta Waldmann.

I am a yoga therapist, massage therapist, and bodyworker, living on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica since 2019. Nature, rhythm, and simplicity shape both my life and my work.

Living close to the ocean and the jungle has deepened my sensitivity to cycles, rest, and the body’s natural intelligence.

I am also a mother of two daughters. Motherhood has profoundly expanded my understanding of the body — its resilience, vulnerability, and need for presence, care, and patience.

My personal experiences and professional path are inseparable and form the ground from which I work today.

My Mission

I believe that the body already knows how to heal, regulate, and find balance. My role is not to fix, correct, or push — but to listen, support, give impulses and create space for the body to respond in its own time.

My work is:

  • holistic and intuitive

  • deep and precise

  • focused on posture, movement, breath, and the nervous system

  • Each session is guided by what is present in the moment.

  • I combine therapeutic techniques with mindful touch and awareness, allowing the body to soften, reorganize, and reconnect.

  • This work supports regulation, embodiment, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself.

Who This Work Is For

This work is for you if you…

  • experience tension, stress, or discomfort in your body

  • want to treat a physical issue such as backpain, neckissue or injuries

  • feel disconnected from your physical sensations

  • seek a respectful form of bodywork

  • want to develop more awareness, ease, and presence

    You don’t need to know what’s “wrong.” You are welcome exactly as you are — with your body, your history, and your pace.
