Sports massage, deep relaxation and acupuncture at your place, at your hotel or on board your yacht at anchor in the bay. Available 7 days a week.
I worked as a therapist at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, just across the bay, then in the leading properties of Monaco, where I received an award for the quality of my massage. That is the standard I bring to your door.
Trained in France, Asia, Africa and Brazil. Certified in acupuncture after four years of study, with anatomy studied alongside osteopaths. A massage built on how the body actually works, not on a memorised protocol.
Whether I come to an apartment in the old town or on board a yacht at anchor, the confidentiality is the same. Nothing about your session, your identity or your address is ever shared.
Every session is built around your body, your activity level and your goals. Minimum duration 1 hour.
Deep, precise work, myofascial release, back and neck. For recovery after a swim off Les Marinières, the climb up the Col de Villefranche or a ride on Mont Boron.
From €200
A slow, deeply restorative session combining relaxing massage and craniosacral work. For overloaded periods and for jet lag after a long flight or a long passage.
From €200
Certified acupuncture after four years of training and ten years of practice. Tension, sleep, stress and recovery, either integrated into the massage or as a session of its own.
From €200
I travel across all of Villefranche-sur-Mer: the lanes of the old town and the Port de la Santé, the Darse, Les Marinières beach, and the villas and residences on the hillsides, both along the Basse Corniche and the Moyenne Corniche. The bay is one of the deepest natural anchorages in the Mediterranean, so I regularly come on board, at the quay or at anchor, as well as to the hotels in the village.
Villefranche is ten minutes from Nice and twenty from Monaco, so I can come during the day or in the evening, high season included. I bring the table, the linen and everything needed.
They say it better than I do. Five high-level athletes, filmed after their sessions, on what the work changed for them.
