Toning body massage
A dynamic, rhythmic massage of the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs and arms, for a feeling of tone and lightness.
The toning body massage is the most energetic of my massages. It strings together firm kneading, brisk smoothing strokes and rhythmic movements on the areas where you want to regain tone: the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, glutes, arms and legs. The pace stays lively from start to finish, the skin warms quickly, and you come out with a distinct feeling of firmness and lightness.
It is not a relaxation massage, even if it feels good. I work the tissues in depth, kneading and rolling them between my hands to wake up the skin and the muscles beneath. The organic oils I use are more fluid, so they do not slow the movement down. I see it as an aesthetic wellness massage: it gives a feeling of tone and a more defined silhouette, with no promises in numbers.
The session lasts 60 minutes, at the Antibes studio or at your place. For those who want to go further, I offer a ten-session wellness package at €850, or €85 per session, ideally alternated with a draining massage: the toning massage wakes things up, the draining massage lightens, and it is the combination of the two that gives the most pleasing results over several weeks.
What this massage brings
- A feeling of firmness and tone across the abdomen, hips and thighs
- Skin that is warmed, awakened and visibly smoother
- An immediate lift in energy after the session
- Targeted work on the areas classic massages only skim over
- A ten-session package for lasting results
Who it is for
- You want to regain tone before summer or after a sedentary spell
- You are getting back into sport and want to support the effort
- You enjoy energetic massages and are not put off by pace
- You are looking for a structured programme rather than a one-off session
Good to know
- The kneading is vigorous: slight redness of the skin during the session is normal and fades within minutes.
- I do not offer this massage during pregnancy or on an area that has recently been operated on, injured, or has marked varicose veins.
- Avoid a large meal in the two hours beforehand, since I work on the abdomen.
- This is a wellness massage; I promise no measured results and it replaces neither diet nor exercise.
Questions about this massage
How does the ten-session package work?
You pay €850 once and have ten 60-minute sessions, toning or draining, to use at your own pace. I suggest one session a week, alternating the two, for instance a toning massage one week and a draining massage the next. The package is personal to you and valid at the studio and at your place alike.
Which areas exactly are worked on?
The abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, glutes, arms and legs. We can focus the session on two or three priority areas if you prefer, for instance abdomen and thighs. The back is not part of this massage; to work on it, choose Swedish or deep massage instead.
Is the toning massage also suitable for men?
Yes. The techniques are the same, the pressure a little firmer if you wish, and the areas adapted, often the abdomen, waist and arms. It is a good complement to getting back into sport.
