Matanoma in London

A practice of
listening,
presence & encounter.

Tantric massage is not primarily about sexuality. It is a space of deep inner listening — where the body speaks, where defences gently soften, and where something long buried can finally emerge.

My approach

A space where the body can
finally be heard.

I have been practising tantric massage since 2010. What drew me to this practice — and still does — is not technique. It is the quality of presence, of slowness, of non-intention that makes something possible: a meeting with oneself.

People come with very different needs. Some are looking for calm. Others want to reconnect with a body they have lost touch with. Some carry years of tension, fear, or disconnection. The massage creates a container — safe, attentive, without judgement — where all of this can breathe.

I work in Ajaccio, Paris, and periodically in London in collaboration with Sandrine Bettinelli.

What this practice is built on

Three principles.

I
Slowness

The gesture is slow — sometimes almost still. Slowness is the condition for something subtle to emerge: a sensation, a memory, an emotion long held back.

II
Non-intention

Nothing is expected. There is no goal to reach. The hand moves without projection. What arises, arises. This is perhaps the most radical aspect of this practice.

III
Safety

Everything rests on a clear framework: consent, boundaries, confidentiality. The body can only open when it trusts. Building that trust is the first work — before any touch.

London

With Sandrine
Bettinelli.

I travel to London periodically to offer sessions in collaboration with Sandrine Bettinelli, a fellow practitioner whose approach I deeply respect.

These sessions follow the same framework as my work in France: safety, slowness, non-intention, deep listening. They are offered in English.

If you are interested in being informed of the next dates, write to me.

London · Training

A journey in four movements.

This journey is not an accumulation of techniques. It is a gradual path — from the first quality of presence in touch, to the experience of energy expanding beyond the boundaries of the self.

I
Awakening.

Discovering what it truly means to touch — and to be present to a living body.

II
Deconstruction.

Finding the body behind its representations, conditionings and inherited patterns.

III
Encounter.

Approaching the territory of the other in a permanent, living dialogue of consent.

IV
Expansion.

Letting the breath become larger than oneself — integration, energy, silence.

A first conversation

Let's talk.

A phone call is always the best starting point — to get to know each other and see whether a session makes sense for you.

My English is not yet fluent — Sandrine will often be our bridge. But the essential things, I believe, pass beyond language… except on the phone.

All sessions are governed by a clear code of practice, shared before any appointment. Your safety and integrity come first — always.
