Californian Dream Massage is a full-body massage, from head to toe (excluding intimate areas), covering the back, shoulders, face, scalp, abdomen, legs, and feet.

It offers deep and immediate relaxation. Gentle strokes, kneading, smoothing, and gliding techniques come together to bring harmony to the entire body.

This treatment provides profound relaxation while stimulating circulation and oxygenating the whole body.

Swedish massage is a more dynamic massage technique aimed at deeply relaxing the muscles.

It primarily targets the circulatory system, stimulating blood and lymph flow. This helps strengthen the immune system and supports the elimination of toxins, allowing the body to more effectively get rid of waste products accumulated in the tissues.

Thanks to the vigorous movements performed during the massage, blood circulation increases, promoting greater muscle flexibility.

Swedish massage is suitable for everyone, regardless of age. However, it is not recommended for people with low or high blood pressure, as the vigorous upward strokes can increase blood flow toward the heart. The same caution applies to those with a history of heart problems or vein issues.

The “Deep Tissue” massage focuses on releasing tension in the muscles and the surrounding fascia through a powerful technique.

This massage uses slow, deliberate movements that allow deeper pressure to be applied, helping the recipient to fully relax into the treatment.

It targets both muscle tissue and the myofascial layers (the fascia surrounding the muscles).

The benefits are numerous: stretching of muscle fibers, reduction of adhesions that cause discomfort and pain, decreased inflammation, release of muscular and myofascial tension, pain relief, and decongestion of tissues.

This treatment focuses on the back, trapezius muscles, and neck.

For this massage, the practitioner uses several singing bowls—known as Tibetan bowls—to make the body vibrate deeply (tissues, bones, and fluids).

The bowls are entirely handmade from an alloy of 7 metals representing the 7 planets of the solar system: gold (Sun), silver (Moon), mercury (Mercury), copper (Venus), iron (Mars), tin (Jupiter), and lead (Saturn), each producing unique sounds and vibrations. They come from Nepal and Tibet.

Electromagnetic waves are generated through vibration and spread throughout the body to enhance vitality and joy.

A treatment to realign energies. A unique inner journey…

The prenatal massage uses specific techniques and special care, tailored for pregnancy.

It is performed from the end of the second month up to the eighth month of pregnancy.

This massage helps relieve back pain, promotes better sleep, softens the skin to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and provides moments of deep relaxation and well-being.

It is a natural and safe way to ease the tensions and discomforts associated with the prenatal period.

This treatment improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, reduces leg discomfort and pressure on the sciatic nerve, lowers stress and anxiety, and fosters a closer connection between mother and baby.

Bamboo massage uses these legendary Asian grasses, known for their flexibility and strength.

Bamboo symbolizes calm, well-being, relaxation, and simplicity. It becomes the ultimate massage tool, extending the benefits of the practitioner’s hands and offering a truly pleasurable experience for the client.

The body is massaged with character and grace. The flexible bamboo sticks perfectly follow the curves, shapes, and lines of the body.

The benefits are numerous: improved blood and lymphatic circulation, body toning and relaxation, an incomparable sensation of lightness, toxin elimination, enhanced skin elasticity, loosened muscles and tendons, total body and mind relaxation, and relief from fatigue and stress.

Foot reflexology is a complementary and natural therapy. It is based on the relationship between certain areas of the body and specific reflex zones located on the feet.

This ancient practice, originating from Egypt, India, and China, promotes relaxation, balance, stimulation, and connection to organs or other body parts through simple pressure, using meridians — true channels of energy.

This massage improves blood and lymphatic circulation, which helps eliminate harmful toxins from the body and contributes to restoring internal balance. Each foot contains over 7,000 nerve endings, 26 bones, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles.

This treatment does not replace conventional medicine, which remains essential for curative purposes. Reflexology can be used as a complementary approach to medical treatment, but it is not a substitute.

Stress, sleep disturbances, tension, aggressiveness… A child’s daily life can be anything but restful. Some children have tight muscles, suffer from growing pains, attention deficits, or hyperactivity. Others may be highly sensitive, have low self-esteem, or experience coordination or motor skill issues.

From birth to around 12 years of age, children develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. Touch is an essential part of this overall development. Children are kinesthetic learners. This massage is specifically designed to soothe, relax, and help children become more aware of their bodies as a whole and in space.

This massage helps children become calmer and more focused, lowers their stress levels, improves sleep, boosts self-esteem and confidence in themselves and others. It also helps regulate their emotions, reduces aggressiveness, relaxes their muscles, and stimulates the lymphatic, digestive, and cardiovascular systems. A valuable ally for parents who want to give their children the best possible foundation.
