Frequently asked questions
FAQ. Everything you need to know before, during and after an at-home massage — practical matters, payment, cancellation, packages, language.
Before the session
You book your ritual and slot online. A deposit of €30 to €60 confirms the booking. You receive an email with the practical details. On the day, Angélique arrives 10 minutes before the appointed time to set up the table and linen. The session opens with a short conversation. The balance is settled at the end, in cash or by card (mobile).
No particular clothing. You undress in part or fully as you prefer, under a towel throughout the session. Only the areas being worked on are uncovered during the treatment.
Yes, in some cases: recent phlebitis, fever, an active skin infection, certain cardiac conditions, the first trimester of pregnancy without medical clearance. If in doubt, mention it on the booking form — Angélique will get back to you before confirming.
Yes. For now, gift bookings are handled by email. Write to contact@maisonangeliquev.com stating the ritual, the recipient (first name, contact if you wish) and any personal message. You will receive a secure Payment Link and an elegant gift card in PDF format. A dedicated gift-card page will open during the year.
During the session
A clear space of roughly 2.5 metres by 2 metres for the massage table. A quiet, warm room. Ideally a light that can be dimmed. Everything else — table, linen, oils, equipment — is brought along.
No trouble. The table fits in any room that has space for a two-seater sofa. If in doubt, describe your layout on the booking form and Angélique will get back to you.
Yes, entirely. A professional massage table, cotton linens washed at 60°C between each appointment, oils and a closing infusion. You need not buy or prepare anything.
As you wish. Soft music, ambient music or complete silence. Tell us at the start of the session and it is set straight away.
After the session
It depends on the ritual. For a Signature or a Second Wind: no constraint, as you wish. For the Radiance (Kobido): one week to ten days during a course, then every one to two months for maintenance. For the Silhouette Drainage: three to seven days during a course.
A deep calm, sometimes a slight tiredness (the body lets go of what it was carrying). Good hydration is advised in the hours that follow. For the Silhouette Drainage and the Radiance, the visible effect lasts from 24 to 72 hours.
For a Signature Ritual or a Sky & Earth: no, ideally not within 24 hours. For a Second Wind: the opposite — the ritual is meant to set you moving again.
