RELAXING MASSAGE CREATED BY RENATA FRANÇA, THE FAVORITE BODY THERAPIST OF CELEBRITIES, HELPS COUPLES EASE TENSIONS.
By Marília Kodic.
Beautiful flowers in the palette of a stunning decoration, the perfect setting for a carefully crafted menu accompanied by delicious drinks, all to the sound of a track of moving songs: everything comes at a price, and it's not always charged in money. Before breathing a sigh of relief to see that everything went as planned (and to enjoy the hyperbolic adjectives of emotional guests), the preparation of a wedding celebration can stress even the most serene couples. To calm the nerves before saying "I do," nothing is more pleasant than a relaxing massage - which can even be enjoyed as a couple.
"Massage can act on the release of endorphin and serotonin, hormones associated with feelings of pleasure and well-being. The practice also reduces the level of cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress," says Renata França, a masseuse and businesswoman from Bahia known for creating massage protocols employed in over fifty countries. My relaxing massage includes deep stretching maneuvers that relieve muscle pains and tensions in a very special way, allowing the body to deeply relax.
The feeling of lightness is immediate, she continues, mixing ancient techniques such as Ayurvedic, Tui Na, and integrative. For couples who want all this and also to focus on their appearance for the big day, Renata suggests her signature, the Miracle Touch, a combination of lymphatic drainage with sculpting massage. "The Miracle Touch drains and sculpts at the same time, activating blood circulation and enhancing a complex network of vessels that move the body's fluids. It ensures a highly sculpted body and a much more beautiful silhouette, perfect for those who want to look leaner on their wedding day," she explains. The results can be seen in any body type in just one session. Among the method's followers are personalities like Bruna Marquezine, Ivete Sangalo, Preta Gil, and the couple Giovanna Ewbank and Bruno Gagliasso. "It's wonderful to have the endorsement of such important opinion leaders, who are very special clients."
To make the massage session even more relaxing, her recommendation is to use natural essential oils, substances extracted from leaves, flowers, fruits, stems, and roots of aromatic plants that offer cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. "For the couple, a good option is lavender, which has calming and restorative action. Creeping mint is also a great choice, as it eases fatigue and calms the skin. Thyme acts as a good revitalizer," recommends the masseuse.
The Miracle Touch, which adds to six other exclusive protocols, can be experienced at the Renata França Spa, located in the Jardins district of São Paulo, or at different locations around the world through the hands of professionals duly trained by Renata.
