Āyurveda…
Āyurveda is the traditional medicine of India and date back to more than 5000 years BC.
Literally, Āyurveda means “science of life” or “knowledge of longevity”. It takes its source in the Vedas (wisdom received by sages-Risis). Vedas are also at the base of other practices such as Yoga or Mantras for examples.
With a global approach of the human being, the Āyurveda aims at preserving and/or regaining balance of our Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) which represent the elements present within us (air, ether, fire, water, earth). Each constitution (Prakriti) is unique and the treaments/massages received pacify our unbalances (Vikriti) and help us retruning to our personal harmony.
Nutrition, lifestyle, phytotherapy, massages and other treatments are many of the tools used in Āyurveda which makes us realize the interdependance of things and our participation in it.
This tradition is here to teach us to take care of ourselves, to look after us, to love and to support our body to keep it strong and adaptable in a life full of change and unforeseen events of any kind.
Ayurveda is a holistic system of health.
Accordingly, it is recommended to have a constitution analysis before the first treatment. It will give you a guideline for your lifestyle and food recommendation.
Each massage/treatment session begins with an exchange to get to know you.
It will guide me to choose and adjust it specially for you.

Feedbacks :
J’ai choisi un massage avec Aurore et quel plaisir ! Un doux et puissant moment de détente et de retour à moi m’aime. J’ai particulièrement apprécié les conseils bien-être à la fin du massage : alimentation, sommeil et rythme de vie. Très pertinent et surtout facile à mettre en place dans mon quotidien. Merci Aurore pour ce soin.
Les massages ont permis la disparition des tensions / stress du quotidien.
Mais aussi diminuer les maux de grossesse tels que les reflux gastro oesophagiens / difficultés d’ endormissement.
Aurore est une personne douce, attentionnée et passionnée. Elle est d excellent conseil pour faire perdurer les bienfaits des soins…
Une parenthèse de douceur et de bien être 😌 Merci encore ; je recommande ++++
