HOW DID YOU BECOME A MASSAGE THERAPIST? WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND?
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved touching and massaging, imagining that people were being healed. I was also passionate about plants and stones. At the age of 17, an event completely changed my life, and it was at that moment that I decided to begin studies in alternative medicine. As for massage, it was my grandmother who motivated me to train in 2000.
Very curious to discover the world and learn about other cultures, I traveled to experience different techniques and traditional medicines, such as TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Shiatsu, spagyrics, Thai massage, Balinese massage, etc.
HOW WERE YOU BROUGHT TO WORK WITHIN THE MAINS DES BAINS ASSOCIATION AND SINCE WHEN?
Two friends who are members of the association told me that a position was becoming available. So, I submitted my application.
WHY DO YOU ENJOY WORKING WITHIN THIS ASSOCIATION?
Many reasons led me to believe that the Mains des Bains association was the ideal place to work alongside my private practice. The human qualities and teamwork (which I missed as a freelancer), the diversity of the clientele, the social encounters, the fresh air, the magnificent views, the peace and joy that one breathes in this place, and a long list of others.

Classic and sports massage, reflexology, and lymphatic drainage.
WHICH TECHNIQUES DO YOU PRACTICE IN YOUR PRIVATE PRACTICE? WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
