18 years of experience in wellness massage

My calling to help and soothe through the power of touch manifested itself at a very young age; even as a child, I would massage those around me whenever I had the chance. Providing comfort through touch has always seemed as simple as it is natural to me.

That is why for the past 18 years, I have offered an energetic, intuitive, and personalized massage in my practice, the result of three years of training in Tui Na at the Chuzhen Institute in Paris and a course in Therapeutic Touch with the inspiring Andrée West.

I believe in a holistic, deep, and fluid massage that connects our body back to itself and also reveals our place in the world.

My massage is mixed & inclusive: it is for everyone, regardless of your gender, age, body or orientation(s).

Massages

Massage is a language that allows us to express what words cannot. It allows me to connect deeply with others, without pretense. My practice involves guiding you home, inwardly, to that precise point where the body gives way, and the mind can finally find peace.

I find great beauty in caring for the world through an intuitive, elegant practice, free from grand pronouncements. The space I offer is inclusive and non-judgmental. It’s a place where you can release what you’ve been carrying.

What I wish to offer is not just well-being, but an experience of returning to yourself.

SIGNATURE
MASSAGE

The ‘classic’ massage, which I’ve been refining for years, is the kind you might initially think of.

It focuses alternately on both sides of the body, allowing for deep tissue work and addressing muscular tension. It also allows the massage therapist to use their own weight to connect with the body and, if necessary, perform stretches.

A comprehensive, powerful massage focused on releasing tension.

You’ll receive this massage while lying on your side in fetal position. It has a truly primal, “back-to-basics” feel that makes it particularly gentle and soothing, even sometimes regressive.

Its unique feature is that it allows for the massage of both sides of the body simultaneously, making it ideal for energy work, providing access to both the back and abdomen, for example.

If lying on your stomach isn’t possible, it’s also the perfect massage for pregnant people to continue receiving massages (although I should mention that the abdomen is not massaged in this case…).

A slow and intimate journey that connects us to our origins.

COCOON
MASSAGE

4 HANDS
MASSAGE

A massage by two practitioners, with a single intention: to transport you. Jérôme and I chose each other based on a shared vision of massage and a desire to offer you the very best.

Our four-hand massage is a symmetrical and fluid choreography, designed to help you unwind in just a few minutes. Imagine your arms, hands, and feet… massaged simultaneously, with the same warmth, care, and intensity.

Our two touches respond to each other, synchronize, and create a truly unique experience.

Therapeutic Touch

Developed in the early 1970s by Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz, the Therapeutic Touch is only a “touch” in name, as it is an energy rebalancing technique derived from the laying on of hands, without any religious connotations.

It is certainly the most scientifically studied and documented energy-based approach. Numerous studies clearly demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing anxiety, tension, and pain, accelerating the healing of wounds and fractures, and reducing the adverse effects of surgery and chemotherapy.

I practice it both in person and remotely, in sessions lasting 20 to 30 minutes. It integrates naturally with massage, either before or after the session.

I designed it like a child’s bedroom seen through an adult’s eyes; it prioritizes calm and dreaminess. Everything has been thought of for your comfort, from the lighting to the starry sky and the heated table…

The music

It plays a very important role in the journey I’m offering you. It accompanies me as much as it accompanies you during the session, and in life in general.

I lovingly curate my playlists, drawing on film and video game soundtracks, music from the Mediterranean and the Balkans, and often returning to the nostalgia of Scandipop and trip-hop.

Some selected tracks

Your reviews matter and help so much.

Un moment suspendu entre ciel et terre, une parenthèse de bien-être et de plénitude. Le toucher s'étend du léger, presque caressant à l'appuyé qui détend les tensions. Le massage du ventre m'a procuré des sensations nouvelles et j'ai senti l'énergie dans mon corps se rééquilibrer. J'ajoute que Philippe a pris soin au démarrage de s'entretenir avec moi sur mes préférences et mes limites, que le décor est enveloppant et relaxant à souhait, la bande-son chill mais personnelle. L'une de mes plus belles expériences de massage et à coup sûr la plus complète. Optez pour deux heures, vous ne le regretterez pas.

Une séance d'une heure bien relaxante, c'est très professionnel, on se sent à l'aise, et on passe la suite de la journée très détendu. C'est par ailleurs plus d'une heure de massage, en comptant la préparation avant et l'après-massage, comptez environ 1h45.

I have travelled internationally for many years and have had massages in many cities but very few can match my experience with Philippe. It is clear as soon as you enter his studio that this is a calling for him rather than a job and you find yourself in incredibly capable hands for a fantastic 90 minutes. So if you have any spare time in Bordeaux, I suggest you use it by booking a massage with Philippe.
