Flyingbutterflies - mobile massage

I bring massage therapy to your doorstep anywhere near Edinburgh

We are the Flyingbutterflies

Our mission is to create balance and health within the mind, body and spirit of anyone in need of help. Flyingbutterflies is represented by Istvan, the therapeutic massage therapist and Margaret, the life-energy healer, gifted clairvoyant and medical intuitive. Together since 2007 we promise to create harmony between the physical and other subtle energy bodies for anyone interested in a holistic approach to health.

Expect being treated with professionalism and a genuine love and care. We have a unique way of connecting with people by building rapport, putting your mind at ease and finding that mutual wave length, so important in any personal services.

We believe that everything happens for a reason, so when I meet you I know we were supposed to have this encounter and appreciate the given opportunity.

Istvan Dobrila-Roth

My name is Istvan and I’m 46 years old, have been with my partner Margaret since 2007 and we have one son who is now 16. I am a massage therapist with over 20 years of experience and my treatments combine all my accrued knowledge to melt away your daily stresses.

I truly immerse myself in the treatment each time and at the end of the massage I leave you assured that you’ve been heard, understood and have been taken good care of.

I deeply believe in the benefits of massage and apply my knowledge with confidence focusing on your goals and the reasons you wanted a massage – and always aim to offer a rejuvenating experience.

Blending Eastern and Western massage techniques learned in the past 2 decades, I  ensure you get a tailored, high quality, professional treatment every time we meet, provided in the comfort of your own home.

I guide myself by the principles and frequencies of Love/Creation and Gratitude/Wholeness bringing lightness into your life.

My background and experience

As for my background I have received my VTCT Level 3 in Swedish massage training in Newcastle College England back in July 2005, then saw the opportunity to work on luxury cruise ships.  Additional, intensive training with Steiner International in Elemis massages (Hot-Stones and Deep -tissue) followed, before I’ve joined my first ship in Hawaii.

Thousands of massages later and packed with confidence boosting reviews from my clients, I’ve decided to become self-employed in Edinburgh.

I tailor my massages to your specific needs, focusing on alleviating pain and discomfort within your body.

I always look to find the source of injury first then massage those areas thoroughly to reduce pain and increase mobility and flexibility.  I work within your tolerances, adjusting the depth of massage to ensure it is comfortable for you.  My clients typically find that regular massage brings long-term improvement in their conditions and we increase depth over time.

These client testimonials bear that out – here.

I am continuously improving myself by keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in the field of massage and introducing new techniques and elements that keep the massage efficient and interesting for both me and my clients.

With Flyingbutterflies, my ethos is a dedicated approach designed to produce the best results possible for each client, whether that is treating an existing injury, preventing it from re-occurring or relieving stress and tension.
