Hypnotic massage

The body retains traces of what the mind has not always been able to express. Through touch and attentive listening, it becomes possible to access what is simply waiting to be heard, felt and reintegrated.

What is hypnotic massage?

What if the body could help us better understand what is going on inside us?

Hypnotic Massage® is a mind-body approach that combines the benefits of mindful touch with the tools of hypnosis. This unique method is based on listening to the person as a whole: their history, their feelings, their emotions, their body and the signals it sends.

Each session is a truly bespoke experience. It begins with a discussion to identify what has brought the person there, their current needs and any blockages or tensions they may be experiencing, whether physical, emotional or stress-related.

The distinctive feature of Hypnotic Massage® lies in the use of touch as a gateway to the natural mechanisms of the brain and the nervous system. By listening attentively to the body, the therapist tailors each session to the individual: the movements, the areas worked on and the verbal guidance evolve according to what is felt and expressed.

Touch thus becomes a language in its own right. Combined with conversation and the state of deep relaxation induced by hypnosis, it helps foster a better connection between the body, emotions and thoughts, enabling access to information that often lies beneath the threshold of consciousness and opening up a space for profound transformation.

The aim is to guide the individual towards greater calm, inner security and balance, by drawing on their own resources.

A personalised approach, tailored to your needs

Every person has their own story, their own life experiences and their own way of responding to life’s events. This is why Hypnotic Massage® does not follow a fixed protocol. It is a unique approach that uses touch as a gateway to the unconscious mechanisms of the brain and the nervous system.

The treatment is tailored to each session depending on the challenges faced, physical sensations, emotions present, the nervous system’s reactions, and each individual’s personal goals.

This approach allows us to explore the link between physical sensations, emotions and certain automatic responses, in order to gradually support a change in the way the person experiences and feels their body.

What happens during a session?


A session begins with a personalised discussion to gain a better understanding of your situation and to define the objectives of the treatment.

The therapist then guides you through:

  • an observation of physical and emotional responses;
  • a personalised massage based on the needs identified;
  • positive verbal guidance to help you achieve a state of deep relaxation and inner focus;
  • a period to process your feelings after the treatment.

As the session progresses, the body relaxes, tensions ease and mental stress gradually diminishes, giving way to a sense of calm and serenity. Touch, conversation and intuitive listening intertwine to create a unique space, tailored entirely to each individual.

FAQ

How many sessions are needed to feel the effects of a hypnotic massage?

The effects can be felt from the very first session, and changes can gradually become apparent in everyday life. The number of sessions then varies according to each person’s individual needs and goals.

Is it possible to have a hypnotic massage session following surgery?

Yes. Hypnotic massage can be offered following surgery to promote relaxation and support the regulation of the nervous system. Stéphanie Lancia regularly works with people in the post-operative period or following a traumatic event. She is also a member of the Genolier Pain Centre.
