Massage Services for MAN & WOMAN
Facial Massage
Different kinds of strokes that therapists use during the face massage stimulate the blood vessels and increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. A result of improved circulation is skin looks brighter, healthier, and with less visible lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
Essential Oil Massage
Massages with oils not only help us to relax the person who receives it, but it also serves to relieve certain pain. And it is that most massages are performed in areas such as the neck, back or legs, areas that suffer from ailments due to sports injuries, poor postures when walking or bad postures when sleeping or working. Massages with oils help us to eliminate these tensions and for the body to recover its previous health.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage can be an effective treatment method for various conditions, including sports injuries and back pain. Therapeutic massage may also relieve stress and help with health conditions such as fibromyalgia and high blood pressure. Deep tissue massage works to relax the body and relieve tension.
Japanese Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu is a form of massage that utilizes the hands, thumb, or other body parts, to apply direct pressure on various points or channels in the body. It is performed through loose clothing and does not use oils.
Practitioners perform manual techniques such as holding, stretching, tapping, pressure, kneading, and soothing, using their thumbs, fingers, palms, and knees. They may also do more body stretches, rotations, and joint mobilizations.
From time to time, the therapist may ask the person to change their position to allow them to work on specific meridian points to energy stagnation or blockages.
Foot Reflexology
Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is an alternative medical practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and hands. This is done using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a pseudoscientific[1] system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work on the feet and hands causes a physical change to the supposedly related areas of the body.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an alternative therapy that involves suctioning the skin with glass, plastic, or silicone cups. It may help improve blood flow, boost immune function, remove toxins, and reduce pain. Proponents believe the suction helps facilitate the flow of “qi” in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force.
Many believe that cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the negative and positive, within the body.
Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Swedish Massage
Commonly referred to as the “cuddle hormone,” has been shown to release while cuddling, as well as while in massage. While it is technically a hormone, it tends to act like a neurotransmitter making a sweet little neuropeptide that makes you feel warm and soft on the inside.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Aromatherapy has been used for centuries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.

Before Massage
Things You Shouldn't Do Before a Full Body Massage
Eating a heavy meal. It's best to eat at least 2-3 hours before your session to ensure optimum comfort. Drinking alcohol or caffeine, as they can both cause dehydration and reduce the benefits of the massage.
After Massage
After a massage, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods, and get plenty of rest. You should also avoid smoking, drinking caffeine, working out, and taking hot baths or showers. If you have any questions about what to do or not do after a massage, please ask your massage therapist.
Yoga Classes
If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done. "The body achieves what the mind believes. Yoga is the ultimate practice. It simultaneously stimulates our inner light and quiets our overactive minds. It is both energy and rest. Yin and Yang. We feel the burn and find our bliss."
A happy soul, a fresh mind, and a healthy body. All three can be found in yoga.
It's a challenge to let ourselves slow down.
Every Sunday session at Terasson, Pte-Aux-Sables.
