Relaxing

Gentle, soothing movements to release stress, restore serenity, and bring you back to balance. An invitation to let go, slow down, and reconnect with yourself.

Questions

After setting up the equipment, we'll discuss your expectations and needs together, as well as any injuries or medical conditions you may have. You'll lie down on the table in your underwear and the session can begin. Depending on the duration chosen and the area to be massaged, you'll lie on your back or stomach. You'll be notified a few minutes before the end of the session that the massage is coming to a close.

Be well-rested, preferably on a light stomach, with no alcohol or drugs before the massage. Ensure the room where the session takes place is quiet, and turn off your mobile phone. For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to relax without falling asleep.

Certain situations require precautions or contraindicate massage: fever, infections, certain cardiac conditions, phlebitis, recent fractures, certain cancers in active phase.
