- Let them say to themselves: “what a beautiful journey!”

- You need technique, you need intuition, you need the truth of being in the present moment, you need sensitivity and sensuality... Training is far from enough.

- I have traveled a lot in the past. Today I prefer inner journeys through meditation. Plus it has no carbon impact, it's free, and I cross landscapes that don't exist anywhere on earth...

- I've been a masseur since I was ready to really be one. I will be as long as it makes sense

- I'm the only one who is me

- Learn to master the technique to surpass it

- Because it was my life path

- I train, I do yoga and meditation, I meet people, I go to music and painting, I taste good wines with friends, I cultivate my garden.

- No, it is not addictive in the sense of dependence because the effects on me are profound, and I have a thousand ways to find this state of fullness that I experience through massage: do in, yoga, meditation... On the other hand, what is precious to me is the exchange of energy with the person being massaged. After 1h30 of massage, I feel physical and muscular fatigue but at the same time I am full of energy. Being tired and on top is wonderful.

- What is a successful masseur? Is he a masseur who has a lot of clients? Is he an insurer who earns a lot of money? Is that a masseur on television? I believe that I am a masseur who does good, with whom something indescribable happens, with whom the massage is a journey of thought and body... If that is success, then maybe that I am.

- I am lucky to have several lives in my life: musician, singer, engineer, consultant, coach, naturopath, masseur, reflexologist... Who I am is a question that haunted me for a long time, until I understand that we are not only what we do. And then, that I am focused on a task, it is all these lives which contribute to my thinking, to my action, to my emotion. That's why I don't fit into a box.

- That this person feels that they are themselves, both the same person and a different person, that there is a magic and a simplicity in reconciling themselves with their body.

- I became a masseur after practicing foot reflexology for several years. My patients told me that I had something in my hands. Then I trained with Ayurveda masters, and I mixed it up.
I had two first massage clients. The first client of a pure massage, according to the rules of the art that had been transmitted to me. And then the second first client who experienced a massage where there was already a little magnetism. His testimony shocked me.
