What’s the best part about being a massage therapist?

The best part is to make a difference in someone’s quality of life, big or small. I also like to meet different types of people, and have interesting conversations with them.

Tell us about the town/area where you come from

Small town in the midwest of France, on the main road from Paris to Bordeaux, called Chatellerault. The philosopher Descartes was born nearby and lived his childhood there. It is an old city, it looks pretty. It used to be one of the main sword and weapon manufacturing cities from medieval times until the first world war.

What’s your favourite hobby or activity to do outside of work?

I like to practice Muay Thai, and other martial arts sometimes. I also like to go on long walks and reading.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

I would travel all around Asia, because there are so many places and different cultures I want to see. I would probably start with Thailand and Japan.

What’s a hidden talent or skill you have that most people don’t know about?

I can juggle, although I don’t really practice it nowadays.

What’s your favourite book or movie, and why does it resonate with you?

I don’t really have a favourite movie, but I’ll mention Hunt for The wilder people, because it is so wholesome and funny, it has to be in my top choices. I like a good fantasy book or a book to learn something.

What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?

I’d say moving to the UK by myself, with my backpack and a bit of cash! I went from living in a city of 30 000 people to a city of 9 million people, not fluent in English and not knowing anybody living here.

What’s your go-to comfort food or guilty pleasure snack?

I definitely have a sweet tooth, in particular for very sour sweets. Hard to find these days !

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would it be and what would you ask them?

I want to meet whoever built the pyramids, to see who they actually are and ask them how they did it.

What’s your favourite way to relax and unwind after a long day?

I’ll probably go on a walk or to the gym, then watch a show or read something.

What’s a goal or aspiration you’re currently working towards?

I am trying to keep improving and become the best therapist I can be! And outside of work, just trying to enjoy my life, and learn something new everyday.
