FAQ - What is wellness massage?
Wellness massage is a manual practice aimed at relaxing the body and soothing the mind. Unlike therapeutic massages, it does not address medical conditions but focuses on improving physical and mental comfort. Through gentle, enveloping, or invigorating movements, wellness massage adapts to the individual needs of each person. This approach promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and contributes to an overall sense of well-being. Whether for recharging or simply for enjoyment, wellness massage is an excellent way to take care of oneself.
FAQ - Is massage good for stress?
Massage is effective in reducing stress because it helps relax tense muscles, lower heart rate, and lower blood pressure. It also reduces the stress hormone cortisol while increasing serotonin and dopamine levels, which improve mood. By promoting relaxation, massage improves sleep quality and strengthens the mind-body connection, bringing about a sense of well-being. Studies also show that massage can alleviate anxiety and depression, often linked to chronic stress.
Massages that are particularly effective for stress include Swedish massage, aromatherapy, and neck and shoulder massages.
FAQ - Should I shower before a massage?
It is highly recommended to take a shower before a massage for hygiene and comfort reasons. Showering helps eliminate sweat, dead skin cells, and skincare products, which contributes to a better massage experience. Additionally, I have a shower in my salon, perfect if you’ve just come back from the beach or if you’ve been sweating a lot during the summer months. By taking the time to shower, you ensure an optimal and enjoyable relaxation moment.
FAQ - Should you avoid eating before a massage?
It is recommended to have a light meal at least one to two hours before a massage. A heavy meal can lead to discomfort during the session, which could detract from your relaxation experience. To fully enjoy the benefits of a massage, opt for easily digestible foods, such as fruits or vegetables, to ensure optimal relaxation. By avoiding heavy meals, you maximize the positive effects of the massage on your body and mind.
FAQ - Should I arrive early for my massage appointment?
It is recommended to arrive 5 minutes before your massage appointment time. This will allow you to settle in comfortably and prepare quietly before your session. The massage will last for an hour, so this little buffer time is ideal for you to relax and fully enjoy your experience. Remember that punctuality is essential to maximize the benefits of your wellness session.
FAQ - Should I take a shower after my massage?
After an oil massage, it is recommended to take care of your skin. You have the option to gently wipe yourself with a towel or enjoy a relaxing shower in the bathroom of my massage salon. This not only helps to remove excess oil but also prolongs the feeling of well-being and relaxation that the massage provides. Feel free to choose the option that suits you best to maximize your relaxation experience!
FAQ - Do you offer massages at home or in hotels?
No, to ensure the optimal comfort of my clients and myself as a masseur, all my massages take place in my massage studio. This space is equipped with a real massage table, providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I prioritize a calm and soothing environment so that each massage session is an unforgettable moment of relaxation.
FAQ - Do the massages take place at your personal home?
No, to ensure the optimal comfort of my clients and myself as a masseur, all my massages are conducted in my professional salon of over 24 m², perfectly equipped. This spacious and calming setting allows for a full enjoyment of the massage experience while ensuring a relaxing and serene atmosphere. Choose a quality massage in an environment dedicated to well-being!
FAQ - Do you accept payment by credit card?
Yes, I accept payment by credit card, which is often the preferred solution for my clients for added security and convenience. In addition to credit card payments, we also offer the option to pay in cash. Feel free to choose the option that suits you best!
FAQ - Does massage help with better sleep?
Yes, massage can significantly improve the quality of sleep. By promoting mental relaxation and reducing anxiety, massage creates an environment conducive to restorative sleep. Massage techniques, such as Swedish massage, Lomi Lomi Nui, or Tantra, can also relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation. By regularly incorporating massage sessions into your routine, you can not only enhance your overall well-being but also enjoy deeper and more restorative sleep. Don’t wait any longer to discover the benefits of massage on your sleep!
FAQ - Which oil to use for your massages?
For my massages, I use pure, unscented sweet almond oil. This hypoallergenic vegetable oil is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Thanks to its nourishing and moisturizing properties, sweet almond oil is perfect for a relaxing and soothing massage. If you have any specific allergies, please let me know so that we can choose a suitable alternative.
