Californian massage
An enveloping body massage with long, flowing movements, to slow down and let go.
At the studio in Saint-Ouen, or at your home in Paris and Saint-Ouen.
The spirit of the treatment
It is for those who need gentleness and letting go, after a busy period or simply to give themselves a pause.
Origin
Californian massage was born in California in the 1960s, notably around the Esalen Institute. It draws on Swedish massage and an approach focused on relaxation and presence.
Benefits you may feel
General relaxation, release in the back, shoulders and neck, a feeling of calm and a lighter body.
How it unfolds
I massage the whole body with certified organic virgin oil, warmed before the treatment, using long, continuous, enveloping movements, at a gentle to moderate pressure that I adapt to your needs.

How does it differ from the Deep Tissue massage?
