About me

I’m a Canadian certified massage therapist who specializes in Swedish and deep tissue massage. Are you looking for a relaxing massage experience? Or a therapeutic massage treatment for an injury or a special medical condition? Having been a Nurse for over ten years, I have acquired a strong knowledge of the physiology and physiopathology of the human body that I incorporate in the massage strategy required for your health condition.

After having completed 3 degrees in Nursing; technical (Canadian college), Bachelor (University of Montreal, Canada) and master degree ( McGill University, Montreal, Canada) and practiced for over ten years in different positions and departments in a large Montreal hospital, I decided to help people in a different way, through massage therapy. I successfully completed my Swedish massage diploma at the Kiné-concept Institute, Montréal, Canada, in 2013. Since then, I continued to learn about different massage techniques such as deep tissue, myofascial release, hot stones, shiatsu for relaxation and thai massage on table, Californian and Tuina-Anmo which I incorporate when appropriate in a treatment plan. I got certified for medical massage in the summer of 2018. When I first came to Tel Aviv, I gained plenty of experience working in a luxurious spa. Since 2015, I work solely privately from different clinics in the heart of Tel Aviv. I only treat women.

I am very professional and dedicated to the wellbeing of my clients. Each client has a file which includes a health questionnaire in order to provide a thorough evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I fluently speak French, English and have functional Spanish as well as Hebrew.

I constantly work on my personal and professional development in order to assist clients in the best possible way. In the past few years, I have been studying coaching psychology and positive psychology and have concurrently a coaching practice ( https://marie-coaching.com ). I am presently enrolled in a somatic coaching program in order to tackle more in depth the mind-body connection.

An article at IsraelSeen was posted about me

STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN; FROM CANADIAN NURSE TO TEL AVIV MASSAGE THERAPIST.

A few months ago I opened my own massage therapy clinic in my apartment in the center of Tel Aviv. If someone had told me this would be what I would be doing a few years ago, I probably would not have believed it. Yet, I now realize that this is what I was meant to do!

For over 10 years, I had been working as a Nurse in a large Health Care Center in Montreal, Canada. Keen to learn and help people, I worked in almost every department, in different hierarchic positions, learning to navigate all western medicine specialties and trying to grab a better understanding of the system. I was completing my master degree in nursing at McGill University when I met an Israeli guy who convinced me to complete all my current projects and start a new life in Israel. I knew the transition would be hard, with the language barrier, an unfamiliar system and a whole different culture. Knowing I wouldn’t be able to pursue my career the way I intended to here, I had to find another way of helping people. Alternative medicine is something that, at the time, started to draw my attention. I kept researching it and decided to give it a try. Before making a definite move to Tel Aviv, I enrolled into a well renowned Montreal private massage therapy school “Kiné-concept”. This was a revelation. I loved it and considered turning it into my main career.

A week after having successfully completed a Swedish Massage Program, I was packing my Canadian life and starting a new chapter in Tel Aviv with my Israeli fiancé. The first year or so, I worked as getting experience in a spa. I enrolled in all kinds of short massage classes, such as introduction to Craniosacral Therapy, Relaxation Shiatsu on table, introduction to Californian massage, etc. I also became interested in learning more about deep tissue massages. I keep reading everything that I can find about any kind of massage therapy. I am as eager to learn as I used to be in my nursing days.

Apart from starting a new career, launching a new business in a foreign country is tricky. The main part is to build a clientele. Not knowing many people at the beginning was a struggle. Thanks to social media and by word of mouth, I’m proud to have a growing number of clients and a few regulars, which would gladly refer me as your future massage therapist. I even been listed in the top places to get massaged in Tel Aviv by the French site; Roots Israel (http://rootsisrael.com/le-top-du-massage-a-tlv/).

I am fluent in French, English and Spanish which allows me to communicate easily with a diverse clientele of Olim from all over the world. My Hebrew is still quite basic, but I am working hard on improving it at the Ulpan and I look forward to having more Israeli clients.

Career changes are not always easy but are sometimes for the best. I would strongly urge new Olim not to be scared and to follow your hearts and if life gets too stressful out there, then you can come see me for a great massage!
