                            MAISON GRILLOU, CHAMBRES D'HOTES AND HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION WITH A DIFFERENCE IN THE FRENCH PYRENEES


                            still.point holistic massage and body therapy


                            I (Kalba) have been qualified in, and practising, holistic massage for over 25 years; I have a practice here in Ariège, still.point, where I offer holistic massage and pulsing. Sessions are available here at Grillou during your stay with us, either in your own accommodation, in the room I use here for therapy, or (in good weather, obviously!) outside … a wonderful experience!

                            Sessions are offered under the aegis of a registered non-profit making association (Association Loi 1901) which enables me to keep prices below a commercial rate.

                            still.point massage is a healing art which seeks to rebalance your essential energy or life force. In contrast to other approaches it's neither a mechanical 'treatment' or a bundle of techniques, nor does it seek to 'sort out' either you or your symptoms: it works with whole persons, not symptoms or bodies, and the process is creative, intuitive, and doesn’t follow the standard routines of some other massage approaches.

                            A still.point massage session is likely to include a wide number of different elements, for example long flowing strokes, deep tissue work, work on particular energy points or channels (meridians in traditional Chinese medicine), holds, stretching, joint mobilisation, energy and breath work, and elements from various bodywork approaches such as craniosacral therapy, Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian bodywork), pulsing, and more. Each session is preceded by a consultation period of up to 20 minutes, so allowing some space to come back slowly afterwards you’ll need to set aside at least 2 hours for a 90 minute session.

                            Full session (90 minutes of massage)              50 euros
                            60 minute session                                          40 euros

                            pulsing

                            Pulsing is a rhythmic body therapy that combines movements of lifting, rotating and stretching with continuous supportive rocking. Its wave like movements work with your body’s natural rhythms and have a deeply relaxing yet energising effect, enabling the release of deep-seated tensions and imbalances and helping you to reconnect with a sense of inner calm and, paradoxically, stillness. Pulsing takes place fully clothed on a massage couch; no oils are used and you simply need to turn up in loose comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement, and relax! 

                            60 minute session                                         40 euros 

                            retreats

                            We also host fully residential, mindfulness-based retreats for individuals and couples. You can find out more at Pyrenees Retreats.
