BIOGRAPHY
Discover the therapeutic gentleness and expertise of Manon Gagnon, a licensed massage therapist since 2008 and a member of the Quebec Federation of Certified Massage Therapists (FQM).
Working within a mind-body (psychocorporal) approach aimed at restoring harmony between the body and the nervous system, Manon offers techniques that promote deep relaxation, reduce muscular tension, and relieve pain.
Passionate and curious, she continuously pursues advanced training both in Canada and internationally. She is skilled in a wide range of techniques, performed with or without oil, on a massage table or on the floor, directly on the skin or over clothing.
Analytical and attentive, she carefully observes the body’s responses and adjusts her techniques accordingly. Her knowledge and experience allow her to provide professional, personalized treatments tailored to your needs.
Manon’s practice is structured around two distinct treatment environments:
Table Massage and Thai Floor Massage
TABLE MASSAGE
These treatments integrate various approaches, used for relaxation or more therapeutic work:
- Gentle fascial release (without oil)
- Global Californian massage
- Kinetic Swedish massage
- Passive mobilizations
- Techniques promoting deep bodily release
These treatments support stress regulation, encourage a profound release of the nervous system, and help relieve pain.
THAI FLOOR MASSAGE
In 2013, Manon discovered the power of Thai massage, a revelation that quickly became a passion. Practiced on comfortable floor mats, this massage is received fully clothed, ideally in loose cotton garments that allow free movement.
Manon harmoniously blends different styles: Nuad Boran, Thai Yoga, and Wùo Tai. She adapts to each person’s abilities and limitations, making this approach accessible to all ages and most flexibility levels.
This type of massage promotes:
- Dynamic relaxation
- Deep bodywork
- Improved energetic balance
- Increased flexibility and mobility
Within these two treatment environments, Manon pays special attention to two areas of the body that often have underestimated impacts: the abdomen and the rib cage.
Abdominal massage offers benefits on muscular, digestive, and emotional levels. Manon uses a variety of adapted techniques that can be performed over sheets, clothing, or directly on the skin, with or without oil.
This work is also particularly beneficial during pregnancy and in the postnatal period.
The rib cage, often overlooked, plays a key role in many discomforts. Manon regularly incorporates it into her treatments to help relieve, among other things:
- Back pain
- Thoracic mobility restrictions
- Pain related to the neck, jaw, diaphragm, shoulder, or arm
Discover her creativity, presence, and expertise, always guided by attentive listening to your body.
