Athletic Recovery in Antibes & Sophia Antipolis
sports massage
My signature sports massage is the result of my knowledge of the body, pain, and the richness of ancestral techniques from around the world. It is a therapeutic approach that aims to prepare muscles for exertion, optimize post-training or competition recovery, and prevent injuries.
It improves blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and releases tension.
I combine different complementary techniques such as deep tissue, trigger points, stretching, mobilizations, and deep muscle release to promote athletic recovery, improve mobility, and provide lasting relief from tension.
This massage is suitable for both athletes and active individuals suffering from muscle pain, physical fatigue, stress, or accumulated tension. My approach combines power, precision, and body awareness to restore balance, fluidity, and performance.
My practice is located in the heights of Antibes near Sophia Antipolis by appointment. Home visits are also available. I support you with treatments tailored to your pace and your wellness and recovery goals.
Dedicated to optimizing athletic recovery and deep relaxation for better performance.

What led me to massage techniques
As a former athlete competing in the French Elite championships in duathlon and suffering from scoliosis, I experienced various injuries during my career. This led me to take an interest in massage techniques and everything that optimizes sports recovery. Also passionate about travel, nature, and sports, I dived into this world first by meeting Ruth Indiathi, who founded a school in Paris called Village Balinais that teaches Balinese massage techniques and rituals. From Ruth, I learned the basics and fundamentals of these rich techniques, which are a beautiful synergy between Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.
Next, I traveled the world as a backpacker and deepened my knowledge throughout my travels, notably in Australia where I focused on deep tissue and sports massage, and in Hawaii with Lomi Lomi. After years of practice, particularly with high-level athletes and prestigious clients accustomed to traveling the world themselves, I created my own highly bespoke protocols based on my clients’ needs.
Newly certified as a state-qualified sports coach, Hyrox athlete, and trained in Sebastien Valla's massage techniques, my massage is rich in techniques and focuses on the "athletic recovery" aspect.

They enjoyed a massage
After several weeks of intensive training and very heavy legs, lymphatic drainage gave me a real sense of lightness. I recovered much faster after my runs and I feel less bloated. A moment that is both effective and deeply relaxing.”

The Face Sculpt massage has become my favorite wellness ritual. My face looks more relaxed, rested, and luminous from the very first session. I love the soft and elegant atmosphere; it’s a real moment for oneself. It’s my time to disconnect and where I manage to let go.”

As an athlete, I was looking for a treatment that truly helps with muscle recovery. The massages are precise, deep, and adapted to my needs. Every time I leave with a feeling of total release. It helps me a lot with improving my sleep too.

Lymphatic drainage helped me enormously in reducing the feeling of heavy legs and regaining energy. The movements are gentle, enveloping, and ultra-relaxing. You come out feeling light and peaceful. It’s truly a moment for yourself, a very precious moment in a very intense daily life.
