XENIA NIKOLAEVA

I am a qualified massage therapist who began my professional

journey in 2019, working between the mountain resort of

Méribel in the French Alps and the coastal town of Seignosse in

the Landes. I completed my initial training at the

Hypotenuse Massage School in France and since then I have

continued to expand my knowledge through additional training

in a variety of massage modalities.

My approach is holistic: I see the body as an interconnected

system and aim to restore balance, release tension, and

support full, natural movement. My work includes Californian

and Swedish massage, Sports massage, Chinese meridian energy

work, drainage and remodelage techniques, prenatal massage,

Japanese facial massage, and Lomi Lomi. In my practice, I

especially enjoy incorporating passive stretching, techniques

inspired by Lomi Lomi and Thai massage, deep tissue muscle

release, and guided breathwork.

I am also a keen surfer and a trained snowboard instructor, which

gives me a strong understanding of the body’s needs for

recovery after physical activity and the benefits of both

therapeutic and relaxing massage.

I speak four languages—English, Russian, French, and Spanish—

which allows me to welcome and connect with an international

clientele.
