Wellness massages

Signature massage, mainly inspired by Californian, Indian Ayurvedic, Hawaiian lomi lomi and traditional Thai massage (nuad bo’rarn, foot reflexology). The touch is both subtle and deep, with fluid and harmonious movements, accompanied by gentle pressures, sometimes deeper, focusing on the lines of energies of your body and the most tense muscle zones. The sequences follow one another on your back, your legs, your feet, your arms, your hands, your shoulders and your neck. The session ends with a face and scalp massage. Particularly effective for relaxation, releasing your physical and emotional tensions. Received in disposable undergarment (provided by us) on a massage table, with the use of organic vegetable and essential oils.

This traditional Hawaiian massage is a wonderful invitation to a journey with your senses. It is practiced in the spirit of Aloha (tolerance, respect, compassion, …), the Huna philosophy (which connects the body, the heart and the soul) and the Ho’oponopono tradition (ritual of forgiveness and reconciliation, path to unitary consciousness). The feeling is close to a 4 hands massage, which helps you to let go. Soft waves move above and below your body, alternating slow and relaxing rhythms, or fast and invigorating, depending on your needs and on the intuition of your practitioner. Each session is unique and personalized. Large, fluid movements of the forearms and hands alleviate your tensions, promoting harmonization, reconnection to yourself and the present moment. Received in disposable undergarment (provided by us) on a massage table (a specific coating is used to allow a better sliding), with the use of organic vegetable and essential oils.

This massage is a meditative experience accompanied by touch, encountering your body memories. A space of receptivity, of non-action, of non-intention, which invites you to taste meditation in another way. It accompanies you towards the most beautiful journey that is, towards yourself. The rhythm is slow, punctuated by moments of immobility and faster gestures. The touch is soft enveloping and conscious, sometimes stronger. The key word is presence. Intuitive but structured, it goes from the top of your head to the tip of your feet on the back side, then from the tip of your feet to the tip of your hair on the front side, in the axis of your spine.

Before the massage there is a moment of preparation, a dialogue, to set the framework, to enter into connection, first with yourself, and then with the other. It is a first phase of meditation before receiving the massage.

During the massage, you can experience awareness on a body, energetic and emotional level. Reconnect with your body heart and soul, rebalance your energies, increase your self-esteem, learn to better manage your emotions. Welcome your sensations and feelings in the joy of the present moment, in a relaxing state, in a space of restorative benevolence, non-intention and non-judgment, a secure setting allowing you to let go. Each session is unique, personalized and includes moments of stillness. The globalization of the body schema and the energetic circulation are very important.

After the massage, you are invited to a moment of rest and integration, and then to a verbal sharing to put words on the experience.

This meditative massage is practiced on a massage table with organic vegetable oils. In order to explore an extreme slowness and an increased state of consciousness, the minimum duration is 1h30, ideally 2h.

Particularly recommended if you are sporty and / or accustomed to strong pressure massage. The techniques used are done at a progressive pace, with a slow or dynamic motion, in a state of active listening to the needs and limits of your body. A special attention is paid to your shoulders, back and legs, emphasizing on adhesions, knotted and painful areas. At the same time bracing and relaxing, it promotes blood and lymphatic circulation, flexibility, drainage of acid deposits that harden your muscles and tendons while limiting their movements. Received in disposable underwear (provided by us) on a massage table, with the use of organic vegetable and essential oils.

The basalt pebbles (volcanic rock) are used in addition to a massage with oils (siam, lomi lomi or sport / deep-tissue). This is a tradition to be found in many ancestral cultures, from America to Indonesia, from Hawaii to Tahiti, from the Nordic countries to Tibet. The heat allows the hot stones smoothly slipped on the skin to act in depth and act more effectively against your aches. This approach is particularly recommended when your muscles are contracted due to stress or a bad position. Received in disposable underwear (provided by us) on a massage table, with the use of organic vegetable and essential oils.

Multiple influences for this relaxing massage: Indian (Ayurveda with shirotchampi) and Chinese (tuina, meridians); but also Japanese (shiatsu, kobido), Thai (nuad bo’rarn), Vietnamese (facial reflexology dien cham) and Western (chair amma  massage, derived from shiatsu). Pure happiness and relaxation for your shoulders, neck, scalp and face. Depending on your expectations, an oil can be applied to your hair. Received on a massage table, your upper body undressed, with the use of organic vegetable and essential oils.

Traditional Thai massage is an ancient discipline that draws from many sources including Indian ayurvedic, yoga, Japanese shiatsu and traditional Chinese massage (nuad=massage, bo-rarn=ancient). The techniques use the thumbs, palms, hands, elbows, knees and feet to apply varying amounts of pressure as well as stretching, kneading, tapping in a well ordered structure. Stretching and extending the range of motion of your body are an important part of Thai massage. It often takes the form of double or assisted yoga (that is the reason why nuad bo’rarn is sometimes named “Thai yoga massage“). The essential purpose is to obtain or re-establish the right flux of energy within your body. The effects are preventive and soothing. This ancient wholistic approach strives to promote wellness and vitality by helping your body return to a state of balance, harmony, flexibility and healthMultiple benefits include release of muscular tension and stiffness, suppleness and stimulation of the digestive system as well as improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Apart from being relaxing yet energizing, Thai traditional massage is also believed to help with detoxification, bolstering your immune system, calming muscular pains and of course soothing ordinary muscular aches from sport or other activities. It is practiced on a floor mat while you are comfortably dressed in soft loose cotton clothing. We recommend a minimum duration of 1h30 to enjoy it fully.

Natural therapies

This wonderfully relaxing and effective approach is to stimulate the reflex zones that each correspond to a part of your body. This natural therapy stimulates your blood and lymphatic circulation, helps improve your overall health and restore harmony in your body by detecting and correcting imbalances. It is particularly recommended for relieving headaches, sinusitis, back pain, constipation, stress and asthma. A minimum of 30 minutes after a meal is recommended before benefiting. Received on a massage table, your legs undressed. A blend of organic vegetable and essential oils is applied from your feet to your knees. A wooden stick is used punctually for more efficiency.

This Japanese practice combining meditation and relaxing touch can be translated as “spiritually guided life force energy”. Your practitioner successively places his hands (with or without contact) on several parts of your body, from head to foot, following your main energy centers and sometimes focusing on acupressure points. Each position is held for between 3-5 minutes. Slow and gentle movements focused on your fascias (envelopes of your muscles and organs) can be provided in addition. It’s an extremely pleasant moment, a deep relaxation. Most of the time, you feel a sensation of gentle warmth from your practitioner’s hands. The benefits are physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Particularly recommended in case of stress or anxiety, it can complement and reinforce the effects of other therapies or treatments. Reiki may also be part of a personal development process. Received fully clothed on a massage table, or in disposable underwear (provided by us) if combined with a wellness oil massage.

This Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice is a combination of acupressure points (acupuncture without needles) and Tuina Qi Gong (massages and energetic movements), adapted to your needs, following the approach of Pr Bai Yunqiao.

Qi Gong means “energy work”. This term refers to methods of movement, breathing and postures practiced in China with the aim of maintaining health.

Tuina literally means “Pushing and Grasping”, two massage techniques. Tuina refers to the traditional Chinese therapeutic massage.

Qi Gong Tuina means “Energy Massage”. It is a method of Chinese massage, using Qi Qong as a tool or as a complement.

Before starting the session, the practitioner performs a diagnosis regarding your demand: general observation (especially of your tongue), questions, palpations (especially by taking your pulse).

Then he starts the personalized session by massaging you or by positioning his hand, thumb or middle finger on different acupressure points, according to the determined protocol, adapted to your needs and expectations.

Received fully clothed on a massage table, or in disposable underwear (provided by us) if combined with a wellness oil massage.

Dmoka is a french acronym standing for “Déprogrammation ou Désensibilisation par les Mouvements Oculaires, Kinesthésiques et Auditifs”, meaning Deprogramming or Desensitization by Ocular, Kinesthetic and Auditory Movements. It is a brief neuro-emotional therapy, inspired by yoga for eyes, orthoptics, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis. It is remarkable for its speed and efficiency in liberating recurrent stress states, phobias, depressions, affective dependencies, addictions, somatic manifestations, etc. This method makes it possible to deactivate and desensitize traumatic shocks that remained in memory, to integrate painful experiences, to get out of recurring patterns and limiting beliefs, to anchor inner resources and capacities. Received sitting on a chair, a large cushion placed on your lap. A minimum duration of 1h30 is necessary to fully enjoy a session.

In glass (heated by a flame), plastic (with a pump) or silicone (manual pressure), the suction cups are positioned on specific areas of your back, arms, belly or legs, in static or in motion. Decompression following the air vacuum of the suction cup induces aspiration of the skin and an influx of blood. The local vascularization caused contributes to the improvement of the blood and lymphatic circulation, to the repair of deep tissues, to the recovery of tired muscles. It also helps to relieve congestion, eliminate stress, accumulated tension and toxins. This setting in motion acts both on the surface and in depth or at a distance, because skin, viscera, muscles, fasciae and nerves are interconnected. Suction cups also act on acupuncture points and stagnations of cold, fire, wind, dryness or humidity, considered by Chinese medicine as imbalances responsible for diseases. This approach can be used in addition to a well-being oil massage. Received in disposable underwear (provided by us) on a massage table, with the use of organic vegetable and essential oils.

The intention is to accompany you with presence and benevolence, according to your objectives and your needs, at your own pace, on your personal and / or professional development journey, promoting your empowerment. A set of tools and keys, coming from training and experience, are offered to help you reconnect with your inner resources, unlock your potential, open up and feel better in all areas of your life. A few examples of topics that are covered: stress, anxiety and conflict management, emotional intelligence, non-violent communication, confidence and self-esteem, etc. The sessions are face-to-face but can also be conducted by phone or Skype. When face-to-face, they can be combined with a wellness massage or a natural therapy such as reflexology or reiki.

The different techniques of well-being and relaxation offered here should be considered as complementary to existing medical treatments or physiotherapy sessions, not as a replacement. If in doubt about any side effects or contraindications from these approaches, please consult your medical doctor.
