A moment of relaxation in the heart of Saint-Girons

Hidden among the narrow streets of Saint Girons is a place where stress is left at the door. Prepare to leave your worries behind, clear your mind, and experience a moment of intense relaxation!

You will find this suspended moment at Pascale's! It's about lMassage Institute “Being in Consciousness” » where Pascale Maudelonde welcomes us with the gentleness and kindness of a Buddhist monk (in reality I have never seen one).

On a dreary autumn morning, I braved the elements to lie down on Pascale's massage table and discover her 5 continent massage.

A professional to her fingertips, Pascale first asks me if I have any allergies or concerns about certain essential oils. She inquires if I have any areas of my body that are more painful than others and require more attention. I felt listened to and cared for before the massage even began.

Surprise and relief when the chilly person that I am lies down on her heated massage table, enveloping me like a cocoon.   

In a subdued atmosphere, with perfectly subtle background music, the journey to the shores of the 5 continents begins. It's a 2-phase massage that combines 5 methods: Ayurvedic, Californian, Swedish, Tuina, and Lomi-lomi, with a blend of specific essential oils. It's a real world tour that I'm offered while lying on a table.

Detoxification, relaxation, and revitalization are expected upon arrival at this sensory journey.

First, the lower body, with a remarkable balance between massage and tickling. The relaxation is tentative at first. Gradually, as the massage moves up the body, we are drawn into a profound forgetting of the outside world.

In this small room nestled on this small street in Saint Girons, the outside world has disappeared. All that remains are Pascale's hands, the intoxicating scent of essential oils, and my mind floating on cloud nine. I am completely immersed in the void of the essential during the final apotheosis of the head massage! 

I really appreciated Pascale's kindness and professionalism, discreet and respectful of the silence of the moment. It's a beautiful experience for you from which you emerge feeling light as a summer cloud!

As I left, I thought that my body deserved more moments like this. It's a gift we should give to our bodies and minds much more often!
