Extra Massage to Complement Other Sessions
Belly Massage in Lisbon · 40 minutes
Digestive wellness and intestinal balance | 40-minute session | €45
What is abdominal massage?
Abdominal massage is an extra to add to other massages, not a standalone massage. This is a therapeutic technique that gently works the abdominal region to stimulate digestion, relieve discomfort and promote intestinal wellness. At WellZen by Diana clinic in Saldanha, we offer focused 40-minute sessions for €45. It uses specific rhythmic movements that follow the natural path of the digestive tract, restoring balance and facilitating the release of deep abdominal tension.
Why choose abdominal massage
The abdomen is a neglected but fundamental area of the body. We accumulate tension there when stressed, anxious, or with digestive difficulties. Abdominal massage works this often-forgotten core, stimulating digestion, relieving spasms and restoring balance to the nervous system that resides there — the famous "second brain."
This session is perfect for those suffering from digestive discomfort, wanting to improve intestinal function, or simply desiring to work an area of the body frequently neglected. In Lisbon, it's sought by professionals with chronic stress that manifests in the abdomen. A transformative experience of well-being from inside out.

How your session will unfold
The session begins with a brief conversation about digestive sensitivities or areas of discomfort. Diana works following the natural direction of the digestive tract — up the right side, across and down the left side — with gentle, rhythmic and deep circular movements. Each movement is intentional and respectful, never aggressive. Communication during the session is essential.
Who is this extra indicated for
Perfect to add to other massage sessions. Ideal for people suffering from digestive discomfort, irritable bowel syndrome, occasional constipation or intestinal irregularity. Also especially sought by those with chronic stress that manifests physically in the abdomen, or who work long hours under pressure and accumulate tension in the solar plexus.
Complements Relaxing or Therapeutic massage perfectly. Works well alongside dietary changes, digestive therapy or emotional work. Anyone wanting to invest in their digestive system's well-being and explore a frequently neglected body area will find value in adding this extra to their session.
Frequently asked questions about abdominal massage in Lisbon
Is abdominal massage safe and comfortable?
Yes. Diana always works with gentle pressure and respectful rhythm, listening to your body. The session is deeply relaxing, never invasive. If you have any anxiety about the abdominal area, Diana adapts the approach and communicates constantly to ensure your complete comfort.
How does it differ from other massages?
While other massages mainly focus on musculoskeletal structures, abdominal massage works internal organs and systems through therapeutic touch, aiming to restore digestive function and autonomic nervous system balance (the "second brain" of the intestines).
How much does abdominal massage cost in Lisbon?
At WellZen by Diana, in Saldanha, abdominal massage costs €45 (40 min). It's a focused session but deeply transformative for those investing in digestive well-being.
Do I need to fast before the session?
It's recommended to arrive with a light stomach — don't eat a heavy meal in the 2-3 hours before. A light meal or snack 1 hour before is appropriate. Drink plenty of water throughout the day of the session.
How often should I have abdominal massage?
For those with chronic digestive discomfort, biweekly sessions bring significant benefits. For general maintenance, a monthly session is sufficient. Diana can recommend personalized frequency based on your response and goals.
Can I combine this session with other massages?
Yes. Abdominal massage complements other sessions well, particularly Relaxing or Therapeutic massage. Some clients in Lisbon combine with full-body work for a holistic wellness approach. Talk to Diana about the best strategy for you.
