Barbara's career change into massage therapy was a true challenge. Determined, Barbara had to juggle two jobs for a long time before she could fully dedicate herself to massage. A mother of two, she shares her love of massage with her children. They are her unconditional supporters who encouraged her to pursue her passion.

Gifted with a natural talent, Barbara quickly mastered various massage techniques. After working in luxury spas, she moved away from the impersonal protocols she found there and created a more holistic approach to massage.

Barbara cares for each person as a whole, paying attention not only to your physical tension but also to your emotional state. This is what makes her massage so special and complete.

Manon and Barbara immediately bonded over their approach to massage: human and personalized. This shared vision quickly led her to become more involved in the Institute.

Today, Barbara takes the reins of the Manon des Sens Institute in Aix-en-Provence, a new chapter that marks the fulfillment of her career.

Already in her childhood, Manon discovered a gift for massage, initially shared with her mother. After working as a veterinary assistant, she switched towards a masseuse career in 2018.

Disappointed by the spa world where massages are often standardized and the service impersonal, Manon opted to offer something different. She wanted to offer her clients a personalised massage experience, where each person is fully taken care of in a completely private setting.

Then in 2019 she created Manon des Sens. She perfects her technique by self-training and accumulating experience. She develops her own concept by studying customer reviews and exploring various massage techniques, always driven by the desire to take care of others.

Manon des Sens has become the first institute in Aix-en-Provence to specialise in tailor-made Intuitive Massage and offering a fully private space for each appointment.

Recognised in 2023 by Marie Claire magazine, the Manon des Sens institute, was elected an Unmissable Address in Aix-en-Provence.

In December 2024, the institute was awarded the Holistic Spa of the Year by THA, a program that honors excellence in spas and wellness centers worldwide.

Kitsana’s story is that of a wellness practitioner from a Thai and Laotian family, inheriting a dual culture that inspires her daily.

Deeply attached to her roots and family values, Kitsana grew up in a world of sharing and care.

Surrounded by her aunt and cousin, both masseuses in Laos and Thailand, she developed an early sensitivity for caring for others and respecting them.

Her journey in wellness began as an esthetician, where she quickly stood out for her natural gentleness and professionalism.

It was in Californian massage that Kitsana found her true calling. This technique, which combines gentleness and a comforting embrace, reflects her warm and caring personality.

Kitsana perfectly embodies this blend of professionalism and humanity, offering each person a special moment of relaxation and reconnection with themselves.
