About CuLeac

A simple remedy, made by hand and with patience.

In Maramureș, leac is the old word for a remedy: something good, made from herbs and the wisdom of the elders, that makes you well. Cu leac means “with remedy”, and that is where the name comes from. CuLeac is a massage and therapy space where touch, plants and stillness work together, and local tradition meets techniques learned around the world.

I work with Kobido sculpting facial massage, relaxation massage, therapeutic massage, reflexology and manual therapies tailored to what the body needs.

Rituals & prices

Every body has its own story.

You are not just choosing a technique, you are choosing time for yourself. Every ritual adapts to how you feel on the day. The names are in our Maramureș dialect; their meaning is under each one.

Durations refer to the ritual itself. Every visit includes about 30 extra minutes for tea, conversation and rest.

The space

It is not about perfection.
It is about how it feels.

People say something changes the moment they walk in. That it’s beautiful. That it’s quiet.

The way I work

First, you need to feel safe.

The body cannot be untied by force. Before any muscle can relax, the nervous system has to lower its guard and feel that it is safe here.

That is why we do not start with the massage. We start with tea, with a conversation, with time. Only when you feel held can touch do its work.

Letting yourself be held by gentle hands is, sometimes, the deepest kind of rest.

What a visit is like

At CuLeac, everything is unhurried.

Every visit has about 30 minutes more than the ritual itself, so you can truly arrive before we begin and leave without hurrying afterwards.

  1. first

    You arrive and settle in

    You change into a robe and we have tea together. Nothing begins until you are truly here.

  2. then

    We talk

    Whatever needs saying, we say it now: how you feel, what weighs on you, what your body needs today. We fill in your client form and choose together.

  3. the ritual

    You rest in my care

    During the ritual we speak little or not at all. We breathe and we work. If you fall asleep, that is a good sign: that is when healing begins.

  4. at the end

    Stay a little longer

    If you feel like it, rest for another ten minutes in silence. Then we talk again, for as long as you need.

Who welcomes you

Beyond technique, there is a person.

I’m Adrian Chiver, but from now on you can call me Mimi, if you like. I came to therapy from a different path, on a day when my body said no. That is when I learned to listen to it, and ever since I have helped others do the same.

Now I’m back home in Baia Mare, close to my roots. From the elders I kept the old ways, the remedies and the patience; from the world I brought back the craft. At CuLeac I bring them all together, with love and without hurry.
