A careful massage by a warm, smiling person who listens and is accommodating, who loves and knows what she does. Tension points are well known and treated; you can feel experience, know-how and a real wish to do things well. The massage salon is very clean and cosy. Many thanks for this hour of escape!

Marc L.2023

I was lucky enough to have a massage with Théa at Tammaia Massage in Lyon, and I can only recommend her. From the very first minutes, you can tell she has a lot of experience and has fully mastered her craft. Every movement is precise, suited to your needs and carried out with great professionalism. The welcome is warm, the atmosphere is calming and the massage was simply exceptional.

I have tried several massage salons but I have become a regular client at Tammaia. The massages are a pleasant mix of gentleness and energy, and you come out feeling recharged. I appreciate the good mood and natural manner of the massage therapist, who is attentive and caring. The salon is warm and very clean.
