These contraindications must be taken seriously to avoid any risks associated with excessive stimulation of body fluids and internal systems.
The progress of a session
A Hawaiian massage session in Geneva generally lasts around an hour. It is practiced on a table, with the generous application of oil, which allows the practitioner to make broad, sliding movements over the entire surface of the body. This treatment combines several techniques, such as sliding pressure, kneading, and friction, but it is mainly the forearms that are used to massage, creating a sensation of lightness and fluidity.
The rhythm of the massage is continuous, which makes it particularly soothing. Long movements cover the entire body, then more precise and deep gestures work on specific areas of tension. This alternation between fluidity and precision creates an experience that is both relaxing and revitalizing.
An inner and outer journey

This massage promotes a deep reconnection with oneself, bringing lasting inner harmony after the session.
