Anma the Massage Boutique started its operation on July 15, 2024, in the center of Thessaloniki in a beautiful space, with a special and excellent aesthetic, where the harmonious combination of stone and wood in its design, gives a unique feeling of warmth and relaxation, from the first moment you enter the space. Beautiful colors and soft lighting create the ideal setting for a journey of the senses in one of the most beautiful new massage service spaces in the heart of the city.
Its creators are Christina Stavre and George Papanikolaou. They are two professionals in the field of physical therapy and massage with many years of experience.
After graduating from the Department of Physiotherapy, George worked in the public health sector, as well as in well-known spas and hotels in Greece and Cyprus. At the same time, he continued to expand his knowledge in specialized massage techniques (energy massages, thai massage, etc.), pilates and recently completed his master’s degree in sports physical therapy. After 15 years of professional career in the field, he has succeeded in providing a holistic approach to each person and to each individual massage.
Christina, accordingly, studied Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, while she holds a master’s degree in spa management, thus knowing massage from all its aspects – therapeutic, relaxing and beautifying. In addition, she is a certified therapist in lymphatic massage and Kobido facial massage – keep the name of the specific massage technique, as we will need it later.

Kobido or otherwise Anma’s “little diamond”.
Kobido is perhaps the “little diamond” of Anma. It is a facial massage with very immediate and visible results in just one session. It is a natural lifting that manages to stimulate, regenerate and give radiance to the face directly.
As Christina confesses to us: “This technique is well-known in Russia and America and I really hope we get to know and love it here too! We don’t need needles and Botox to give our face freshness. We need to activate it, as they have done since ancient times in Eastern countries, such as Korea and Japan, and they have excellent skin due to DNA even today.”
For the Anma team, massage is not a luxury for the few, but a luxurious self-care that we often neglect… That is why they have as their inviolable principle to provide this care in the most luxurious way, but based on the value-for-money approach.
“Our priority is the care and well-being of all those who choose us”, Giorgos and Christina tell us, and indeed, a few minutes of conversation with them is enough to understand that they have based Anma’s entire vision on this philosophy.
