I offer massage treatments combined with the power of plant essences; massages created "tailor-made" to best meet your needs.

 

​

​TOUCH, THE FIRST SENSE OF LIFE

The sense of touch is our very first connection with the world around us, and the last to remain until the end of life. It is the first sense to develop in utero; the skin is our largest vital organ.

​

PLANT ESSENCE

Plants are at the heart of my treatments. I massage you with my artisanal massage oils: oily macerates that I create with my harvested lavender, arnica, calendula, and helichrysum, and a base of Emile Noël organic sesame oil. Hydrosols or "floral waters" are both powerful and gentle. I use them during your treatments and provide advice on their use. Some essential oils can be used aswell or diffused in the room.

MASSAGE, A MILLENNIAL PRACTICE

Massage is present in every ancient civilizations around the world and is an integral part of traditional medicine.

​

Some anecdotes about massage:

The Greeks and Romans practiced massage in public bathing rituals.

The Romans originated hot stone massage, using volcanic stones to soothe muscles and eliminate toxins.

In ancient Egypt, priests performed spiritual ritual massages.

Tui Na massage in China has its origins in texts from around 2000 BC.

Ayurveda, "Science of Life" in Sanskrit, is composed of treatises on health, surgery, care, dietetics, massage, and other topics dating back to around 2000 BC.

In Africa, "Damp," a traditional infant massage, is performed daily from the first day of life for two months or more. It's a body integration technique that recreates the child's birth ritual.

In Polynesia, Lomi Lomi massage, practiced for centuries, is passed down from generation to generation as a family ritual to release blockages and promote serenity. The same is true for Balinese massage in the Indonesian archipelago.
