Ségolène's experience allows her to tailor her approach to different expectations.

Some people come in for treatment for a specific pain or tension, while others are looking more for general relaxation or targeted treatment for the face or abdomen.

After discussing the patient’s needs and how they’re feeling, Ségolène selects the techniques and areas to focus on. The goal is to provide a truly personalized massage, rather than a protocol that’s the same for everyone.

Massage therapy

To specifically address pain, muscle tension, and restricted mobility.

Therapeutic massage is at the heart of Ségolène's practice.

After discussing each patient’s needs and areas of tension, she tailors her massage and the areas she focuses on to each individual. In particular, she can address tension in the back, neck, shoulders, or other areas that are under particular strain.

CNT

Chi Nei Tsang

For deep manual work on the abdomen and tension in the abdominal region.

Chi Nei Tsang is an abdominal massage that originates from Chinese tradition.

Ségolène includes this, particularly when the person experiences abdominal tension or a sensation of a tight or bloated stomach.

The massage is tailored to each person’s sensitivity and needs and is part of a holistic approach to physical relaxation.

massage visage

Facial massage

To work on the facial tissues and muscles while providing a moment of deep relaxation.

The lifting facial massage is one of Ségolène's areas of expertise.

Drawing on her early training in aesthetics and her experience with massage, she tailors her techniques to the needs of the face and combines various manual techniques designed to promote drainage, toning, and relaxation.

Massage also helps target certain areas that are particularly tense, including the jaw, the forehead, and all the facial muscles.

It is particularly suited to people seeking a hands-on treatment that addresses facial contours, skin radiance, and sagging skin, all while providing a significant sense of relaxation.

massage femme enceinte

Pregnancy massage

To support the physical changes that occur during pregnancy and relieve certain tensions.

Starting in the second trimester, Ségolène offers therapeutic massage tailored to pregnant women.

The treatment, intensity, and techniques used are tailored to each woman’s pregnancy and individual needs.

Massage sportif

Sports massage

To prepare the body for exercise, promote recovery, or address tension related to sports.

Ségolène also offers sports massages to people who engage in physical activity on a regular or occasional basis.

She tailors her work to the specific sport, the areas being worked on, and the stage of treatment, with a particular focus on recovery and the release of muscle tension.

ventouses

Suction cups

A supplementary manual tool used when the situation calls for it.

Ségolène may incorporate cupping into certain sessions to complement her manual work on the tissues and specific areas of tension.

They are not used systematically; their use depends on the issue at hand and the needs identified during the session.

Les domaines d’expertise spécifiques de Ségolène

douleur

Muscle tension and pain

Back, neck, shoulders, or other areas under particular strain: Ségolène tailors her massage to the location and nature of the tension you’re feeling.

Depending on the situation, she may combine different manual techniques to target specific areas more effectively.

Stomach and Bloating

With Chi Nei Tsang, Ségolène offers a specific hands-on technique for the abdominal region.

This approach may be particularly beneficial for people who experience a tight stomach, abdominal tension, or bloating.

problème dentaire

Face, Jaw, and Facial Tension

The face is a specific area of Ségolène's practice.

Her work goes beyond aesthetics: massage also helps to work on the muscles and tension in the face—particularly in the jaw and forehead—while promoting overall relaxation.

métabolisme

Deep relaxation, letting go, and disconnecting

Thanks to her background in spa therapy and her experience in therapeutic massage, Ségolène knows how to tailor her approach to clients who are seeking, above all, a moment of mental relaxation and physical rejuvenation.

Ségolène's Approach

Ségolène’s approach is based above all on listening and tailoring the massage to each individual.

She begins by talking with the patient about their needs, areas of pain or tension, and their expectations for the session.

Her experience then allows her to choose from a variety of techniques and adjust their intensity. A session can thus be geared more toward targeted therapeutic work, toward relaxation, or combine both of these aspects.

This pursuit of personalized care is the guiding principle of her practice.
