My name is Claire McAlpine and I am Flairesse.

I live in Aix en Provence, France where I practice Aromatherapy and Holistic Massage Therapy.

Treating the Body & Nervous System

Our body carries not just muscular tension, aches and pains, but can be affected by trapped emotions that can benefit from gentle release.

I trained under Gabriel Mojay at the Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy(ITHMA) in London, studying Aromatherapy, Swedish Massage and Acupressure;  Anatomy & Physiology from the perspectives of eastern and western medicine and healing.

After working in health centres in London, and from a home-based clinic, I feel that the best environment to receive a massage treatment is in the home (or holiday home) where there are no time restrictions, no clients waiting and no need to drive afterwards. It is conducive to complete relaxation and the restoration of your natural state of equilibrium.

90 Minutes of Bliss

From the years of doing bodywork, I have found that 90 minutes is the optimum period of time to give a thorough, healing massage.

It allows me time to listen to the body’s messages, sense intuitively as well as being guided by your needs, and provide a healing, holistic, thorough experience.

The benefit and healing continues after the treatment, so being in your own environment, and able to relax afterwards, facilitates that process.

Soul Blending

Interested also in soul and energy work, I studied Spiritual Phytoessencing with Dr Bruce Berkowsky, learning to create customised blends for deep Soul – Level healing.

Soul History

In 2025, I completed Levels 1, 2 and 3 in Akashic Records Reading and Healing with Chris Wilson, New Zealand.
