An energetic massage with dynamic, firmer strokes that awaken the skin and leave a feeling of firmness and lightness. It is an aesthetic wellness treatment with no medical or therapeutic purpose.
What is this massage?
This massage is the opposite of the slow, soft draining massage. The tempo is livelier and the strokes more intense: kneading, brisk stroking, light pinching. After the session the skin feels warmer and the body feels invigorated.
I choose the pressure together with you. The massage should be energetic, but still comfortable.
By default, the massage covers the back, the backs of the legs and the arms. If you would like me to work on other areas, such as the fronts of the legs or the stomach, just tell me. We agree on everything beforehand, respecting your wishes and your personal boundaries.
If you wish, massage cups or a gua sha scraper can be added. Like everything else, we decide on this together beforehand.
How a session goes
- A few words before we start. We talk about how you feel today, the intensity you would like and any possible contraindications.
- The massage. It takes place on the table, with Styx oil, to soft background music. You are covered with a sheet, and only the area I am working on is uncovered. The table can be heated if needed.
- After the session. A few minutes to come back to yourself without rushing, with tea or coffee and a little something sweet.
Who is it for?
- those who enjoy a firm, energetic massage;
- those who want to feel vitality and energy in their body;
- those who take care of themselves regularly and want to add a pleasant moment to it.

For this massage I recommend a 1.5-hour session. It is usually done as a series of 10 to 12 sessions.
When to postpone your session
The massage is not given in case of fever, acute inflammation or skin conditions in the area to be massaged. If you have health problems, please ask your doctor first.
Before each session I always ask about injuries, operations or anything else I should know, so that I know where to be especially careful. If you are pregnant, please be sure to mention it when booking, and I will adapt the session. And if the massage falls on those days of your cycle when the body tends to be more sensitive, we can choose a softer pressure or move the session to a time that suits you better.
Frequently asked questions
Will it hurt?
This massage is more intense than the classic one, but it should not be painful. If the pressure feels too strong, just say so and I will reduce it.
Do you promise a specific result?
No. It is a wellness massage: it brings a feeling of vitality, warmth and lightness, but it is not a treatment and does not replace a doctor's advice.
What should I wear?
You can keep your own underwear on or wear disposable underwear that I provide. During the massage, the rest of your body is covered with a sheet.
How is it different from the draining massage?
The gentle draining massage is slow and light, whereas the invigorating massage is lively and dynamic. If you would like both, they can be combined in one session.
