Post-cancer recovery
The “My Fountain of Youth” package lasts 6 days
and includes 20 treatments. It was designed by
Joelle Colin, director of the thalassotherapy centre,
with advice from breast cancer specialist Dr Cécile
Bendavid.
The aim of this package is to help guests recuperate
after cancer treatment, harmonise their emotions,
rid them of any excess minerals and experience
new sensations. It begins with an appointment
with an expert, who sets out a daily schedule that
includes 1 Bach flower consultation, 1 bioelectrical
impedance analysis, 1 coaching session in the pool,
1 mindfulness relaxation session, 1 music therapy
session in a sensory room, and 2 aqua-breathing
sessions (seawater relaxation). Treatments include 1
foot reflexology session, 1 Kansu session (a traditional
Indian foot massage using a metal alloy bowl), 1
cranial massage, 2 body massages, 1 facial, and 7
thalassotherapy treatments.
Improving your sleep patterns
A second innovative package, “My Sea & Sleep Break”,
will regulate your sleep patterns to help you get
some proper rest. It was designed by experts from
a sleep centre to rid you of any stress and fatigue,
reset your biological clock and make your sleep more
regenerative. Again, it starts with an appointment
with an expert and is followed by 24 treatments,
including 5 sophrology sessions and light therapy
sessions in a special chamber (exposure to intense
white light, a minimum of 2,500 lux), 2 relaxing
massages, 3 mineralising wraps, and 3 music therapy
sessions.
Bathed in sunlight, with huge spaces looking out to
sea, this establishment enables you to get back to
peak fitness (a number of international sports teams
regularly come here), laze around (in the 29° saltwater
swimming pool), get moving (33° thalassotherapy
pools) and get away from it all.
