I chose this form of therapy because I did not find words for what had been going on inside me for quite some time. Negative events of recent years were inscribed in my body and prevented me from living fully.
With a dose of suspicion I enter the practice but thanks to the respectful attitude of Christophe, a safe context of the massage quickly emerges.
After the first session I start feeling a connection again with my body. The grief that got stuck in my body is gradually coming loose, even in the days and weeks after the massage, which is really intense at times.
Session after session, deeper layers of my pain are addressed. By allowing this and releasing control over it, the healing process can take place. At the same time, after each massage, I feel more and more at home in my own body, like a slow awakening.
Christophe's gentle touch eventually takes me to my deepest self, to the point where everything seems to coincide and there is perfect harmony. In my totality I feel unconditionally accepted and supported, an almost spiritual experience.
The mastery of Christophe is in sensing in the finest way what my body and soul need to walk my own beautiful path, his patience to do this at my pace and always with an incredible loving devotion.
Looking back on my therapeutic process, I can say that it was not a 'quick fix' solution or a 'walk in the park'. At times it turned out to be a tough confrontation with my pains, sadness and anger and I had to go deep to face it. This was only possible thanks to Christophe's continued supportive involvement, also between sessions. However, I could not have wished for a better result: I can give and receive trust again.
