For a long time, I had been visiting Bains des Pâquis to recharge and often thought about the privilege and joy it must be to give massages in such a wonderful place. In early 2021, I learned that the association was looking for several massage therapists. I seized this opportunity to submit my application, which was accepted. After various discussions and interviews, I had the great pleasure of joining the Mains des Bains association in September 2021.

I am amazed by this magical island in the heart of Geneva. Bains des Pâquis is a unique place due to its history and alternative development. People can meet in a friendly setting combining creativity, shows, poetry, and well-being, and this has been the case for years.
I appreciate the diversity of people who come for massages and those who work there, coming from all walks of life. I admire how my colleagues have created and structured the Mains des Bains association; it’s magnificent.

I practice shiatsu, massage and therapeutic plantar reflexology.

I practice shiatsu, traditional Japanese massage and therapeutic plantar reflexology. As well as Ku Nye massage, rooted in traditional Tibetan medicine, and its external therapies (copper cupping, Mongolian fire vessel, Hor-Mé, Mongolian moxibustion). My practice is located at rue du Grand-Pré 40, 1202 Geneva.

Kindness, energy, empathy, flexibility.

To continue exchanging and developing this art of living, one that comes from the heart, and to cultivate this precious treasure that is LIFE.

I had the pleasure of accompanying the FC Veyrier team as a “caregiver” during their first round of the championship in 2022, and Ludo, one of the team’s players and a massage therapist at Mains des Bains, informed me that the association was looking for a new person to join. I introduced myself and the universe did the rest! I joined the association in November 2022.

Massaging is my passion… Water is my element… So massaging on the water is a dream come true every time I massage at the Bains. And then there is the magic of this beautiful family, Mains des Bains. I feel at home, well surrounded. There is a lot of joy and love! I am very grateful to have the chance to be part of this group!

Massage, lymphatic drainage, and foot reflexology. With a (large) pinch of intuition and a (large) hint of fasciatherapy!

I offer the same treatments in my practice located in Carouge, specifically at Avenue Vibert 28.

Without thinking too much, the words that come to me are: freedom, joy, gratitude, awareness…

I am training in fasciatherapy, a magnificent journey that carries and guides me every day in my professional and personal life. Once I have my diploma, I wish to establish myself and continue to develop as a fasciatherapist. I would also like to offer sensory gymnastics classes in my practice!

I learned through a colleague and friend that Mains des Bains was looking to expand its team. It was therefore quite natural that I promptly sent in my application. I joined the group in October 2021 with immense pleasure.

There are many reasons…
For the wonderful team: the multiple personalities that compose it, with diverse qualities and skills, allow everyone to contribute their part to the whole.
For the location: the energy it radiates is simply magical. It is unique to be able to work in such a setting with a view of the lake, the surrounding sounds such as those from the refreshment stand, the birdsong, the wind or the rain.
For the sometimes unusual but so beautiful and enriching encounters!
For the principle of the Bains: to offer affordable services so that everyone can benefit from them.
And above all

for the joy and good spirits!

Classic massage, massage for tension relief, and reflexology.

My practice is located in the Eaux-Vives district in Geneva.
In addition to the therapeutic techniques mentioned above, I practice various types of massage such as: massage for pregnant women, deep facial massage, Hakim massage, massage for children (MEBP® technique – massage for children with special needs), use of tuning forks, etc.

Listening, professionalism, sociability, and good spirits.

Discovering new practices to enhance my treatments!

At one of my graduation ceremonies in alternative techniques, I ran into a colleague who works at the Bains and with whom I had studied. She asked me whether I was still specialised in Vodder lymphatic drainage, as the Mains des Bains association was looking for replacement practitioners who performed lymphatic drainage that year. Motivated by the idea of working as part of a team at the Bains, I applied, and after the various interviews, I was selected. I joined the Mains des Bains association in March 2007.

For the exchanges with colleagues and all the Bains staff. I also like the idea of promoting well-being and making prevention accessible to as many people as possible. The clientele is so diverse socially, ethnically and in terms of age that you can only come away enriched and never be bored.

Vodder lymphatic drainage, classic massage, sports massage, foot reflexology, and baby massage classes.

My practice is located in Saint-Jean, Geneva. In addition to the practices above, I provide therapeutic Vodder lymphatic drainage, modern vertebrotherapy, structural/energetic/CSF craniosacral therapy, visceral therapy, harmonic techniques, facial reflexology, auriculotherapy, as well as Gua Sha and hot cupping. In naturopathy: endonasal therapy, aromatherapy, iridology, orthomolecular medicine (prescriptions and intravenous infusions of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, trace elements and injectable homeopathy), Baunscheidt, autohaemotherapy and percutaneous hydrotomy (osteoarthritis, herniated disc, etc.).

Adaptability, communication, stamina and emotional intelligence.

To continue improving my skills and promote integrative medicine.

Summer 1995: I had just graduated as a massage therapist and reflexologist, and a friend let me know they were looking for a massage therapist at Bains des Pâquis!

It is a team where it is a pleasure to work, share, and live together. We have wonderful qualities of heart and resonate along the same path, even though each person remains unique. We are enriched by our differences and know how to draw inspiration from them at every opportunity. We support one another, encourage one another, motivate one another… we are a team!

Swedish massage, foot reflexology, and lymphatic drainage.

Since 2000, I have had my practice in the Eaux-Vives district of Geneva. My practices include: massage, reflexology, lymphatic drainage, Trame, Shamballa energy healing, and listening.

Open-mindedness, team spirit, consistency, and trust.

I am looking for the right approach to begin passing on what I know. Meeting people and sharing my expertise.

I submitted my application in the summer of 2019 and was pleasantly surprised to receive a call just before the summer of 2021. I then had an interview with Marlène and Antoine and started massaging at Mains des Bains in June 2021.

As for the location, it’s magical. At Bains des Pâquis, you enter another world. I appreciate the diversity and enthusiasm of the people.

I practice classic and sports massage, reflexology, Vodder lymphatic drainage, and sometimes incorporate connective tissue massage techniques.

In addition to the techniques mentioned above, I practice therapeutic massage and connective tissue massage with comprehensive protocols. My practice is located in Carouge.

Presence, desire, competence, humor.

Successfully completing the final stretch to obtain the federal medical masseur diploma.
Having a great football season with my football club.
Experiencing wonderful moments of exchange with colleagues and other users of the Bains, and continuing to marvel at this place I’ve known since my earliest childhood.

Through a colleague who was already working within the association, who enabled me to join Mains des Bains in 2000.

Multiplicity, plurals, nature, island, associative, simplicity, laughing and having fun.

Classic massage.

Several directions are possible. First, a body-based approach, with different types of massage (classic massage, sports massage, Tanaka – which is a Japanese massage style –, yoga, bone-setting). Or alternatively with psycho-corporeal support: rebirth, hypnosis, thera-soma, EMDR (eye movements), olfactotherapy.

Sharing, listening, simplicity, having a good time… Yes! Four words!

Presence

In 2001, Margaretha, who was already working with the team, gave me the opportunity to join the Bains des Pâquis group. What a pleasure, what an opportunity, thank you!

I enjoy working with the association for the magnificent location of the Bains, for its open-minded spirit, for the exchanges with colleagues, and for the pleasure of meeting such diverse new people.

At Bains des Pâquis, I practice muscle and relaxation massage, reflexology, and magnetism.

Still connected to Asia, I offer Ayurvedic massages. I also train in yoga, a discipline that gives me strength and joy in daily life, both for my treatments and for helping the elderly I accompany in a retirement home.
My practice is located in Geneva.

Adaptability, team spirit, and good humor.

To continue massaging to relieve and help, to organize trips, to share, to love.
