Barbara’s career change into massage was a true challenge. As a mother of two children who encouraged her to live from her passion, she spent years juggling two jobs before dedicating herself fully to massage.

Gifted with a natural talent, Barbara quickly mastered the different techniques. After working in luxury spas, she chose to step away from impersonal protocols to create a holistic approach that cares for each person as a whole.

Manon and Barbara immediately connected over their shared vision: a massage that is both personal and deeply human. This bond naturally led Barbara to take over the reins of the Institut Manon des Sens in 2025, marking the fulfillment of her career.

Since 2025, Manon has stepped away from the institute, choosing instead to return to a more intimate practice. In her new office in Manosque, she now devotes herself to abdominal massage and intuitive listening, approaches that help women release emotions and care for their inner well-being. Find her here.

Disappointed by the standardized and impersonal nature of spa treatments, Manon wanted to create a personalized experience in a fully private setting.

In 2019, she founded Manon des Sens and refined her craft through self-training, listening closely to client feedback, and exploring various techniques, all driven by her deep desire to care for others. She made her institute the first in Aix-en-Provence to specialize in tailor-made Intuitive Massage, with a private space for every appointment.

Thanks to her passionate work, the institute was recognized in 2023 by Marie Claire as a Must-Visit Address in Aix-en-Provence, and went on to be named Holistic Spa of the Year 2024 by THA.

Kitsana’s story is that of a wellness practitioner rooted in her Thai and Laotian heritage. Deeply connected to her origins, she grew up in an environment of sharing and care, surrounded by her aunt and cousin, both massage therapists in Laos and Thailand.

Her journey began in aesthetics, where she stood out for her natural gentleness. It was in Californian massage that she discovered her true calling, a technique combining softness and enveloping gestures that perfectly reflect her warm personality.

Kitsana embodies the harmony between professionalism and humanity, offering each person a precious moment of relaxation and reconnection with themselves.
