My practice used to be called Mirror Focus. Now it's Maugli Bodywork — simpler, clearer. But the idea behind the old name is still very much there.
What it meant
The body reflects everything. How tired you are, how stressed, how you've been living. Old injuries. Habits you forgot you had. Neck pain doesn't just appear. Neither does a tight lower back.
When I work with someone, I'm not trying to fix them. I'm helping the body notice itself. To bring attention to what's usually ignored.
The body knows more than we give it credit for — if we actually listen.
The mirror part
Focus means directed attention. Mirror focus means directing that attention not toward some idea of "health" or "correct posture" — but toward this body, in this moment, as it actually is.
I don't chase symptoms. I work with what I can see, feel and test. And I try to help you see the same things.
A lot of the time, that attention alone is enough to start something changing.
Why the name changed
The practice has changed a lot over the years. I moved to Tbilisi. Added kinesiology, postpartum work, developed my own approach. It's more than massage now, and more than the original Mirror Focus concept.
But the foundation is the same: paying attention, respecting limits, working with the cause — not just the effect.
