Interview with Juliette from l'Escale pour soi
Kaïa ( Mind-Body RESOURCE): Hello Juliette, thank you for being with us today! First of all, could you introduce yourself and tell us a little about your Institute?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): Hello, my name is Juliette, and I'm the manager of the Institut Escale pour soiwhich I created and opened 11 years ago. The idea behind this project was to offer a center dedicated to beauty and well-being, where taking care of yourself is a real priority.
Kaïa (RESSOURCE Corps-Mental): And what sets your Institute apart in the way you care for your customers?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): We've designed a very comprehensive treatment menu. For example, for the face, we offer treatment treatments to improve skin quality, facial treatments to work on muscle structure, and mechanostimulation treatments. For the body, we offer rejuvenating treatments, draining treatments and sculpting treatments, such as maderotherapy.
Kaïa (Mind-Body RESOURCE): You also have something new this year, don't you?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): Yes, absolutely! We've integrated a customized treatment experience with SOPHRO-MASQUE®. This allows our customers to set aside a dedicated time, during which they can combine body and facial treatments, and even integrate sophrology sessions. It's a truly holistic approach that meets everyone's needs.
Kaïa (Mind-Body RESOURCE): Sounds exciting. Now let's talk about SOPHRO MASQUE®. How did you discover it, and what made you want to integrate it into your services?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): I discovered SOPHRO MASQUE® at a seminar with Tiffaine Modeste. It was a gift that we received, with the mask and associated audio. I was pleasantly surprised by this innovative approach. Having already practiced sophrology myself, I immediately understood the added value of this treatment, which enables us to work on both deep relaxation and overall well-being.
Kaïa (Mind-Body RESOURCE): And in terms of values, how does SOPHRO MASQUE® align with what you want to offer at your Institute?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): It's perfectly in line with our holistic approach. We're always looking to combine aesthetics and inner well-being, and the SOPHRO MASQUE® is a beautiful synthesis of these two dimensions. It offers our customers a moment of relaxation and introspection while taking care of their skin.
Kaïa ( Mind-Body RESOURCE) : Juliette, you were telling us that doing nothing can sometimes make people anxious. can be difficult. What makes it distressing for some people?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): It's true, sometimes doing nothing can cause anxiety. We live in a society that values activity and productivity. When we try to take a break, a kind of inner pressure can build up, making it a difficult moment. What we offer is support in breaking out of this logic of "doing" and refocusing on "being". It's a gentler, more soothing approach.
Kaïa (RESSOURCE Corps-Mental):Is this a personal feeling or feedback from your customers?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): Both! For example, one of my customers who recently retired was overwhelmed by the change of pace. Going from an intense daily routine to a moment of total calm can be destabilizing. We have weekly sessions together to help her through this transition, to calm her body and mind. It really does have a positive impact.
Kaïa (RESSOURCE Corps-Mental): If you were to recommend other institutes, what would be your advice for integrating the SOPHRO MASQUE® ?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): I'd definitely recommend it, but you need to think carefully about how it fits in. Is it a treatment in its own right? A complement to an existing treatment? Aurélie and I have worked out the best way to include it in our menu, and we already have ideas for developing it further in 2025.
Kaïa (Mind-Body RESOURCE): It's a great strategy. You were talking about the Christmas gift sets. Why do you think they will appeal?
Juliette (Escale pour soi): Christmas gift sets are perfect for offering a personalized wellness experience. People prefer to offer a relaxing interlude rather than a predefined treatment. I'm sure this will appeal to a lot of people.
Kaïa ( RESSOURCE Corps-Mental): Thank you so much for this exchange, Juliette. It was very enriching!
Juliette (Escale pour soi): Thanks to you! It was a pleasure to share all this. You can tell I love what I do, can't you? (laughs)
