The Foot Bath Ritual
Dear readers,
We wanted to share with you a ritual that’s common in the spa world—and that you can enjoy at home: a foot bath.
Did you know that the highest concentration of nerve endings in the body is found on the soles of the feet? This center of the autonomic nervous system is our point of contact with the ground; it supports our body and bears the shifts in our weight. This explains the importance of the foot-washing ritual in all traditions, as a way to relieve pain and promote relaxation.
Since ancient times, foot washing has been practiced around the world not only for its hygienic benefits, of course, but also for its relaxing and therapeutic effects. Still practiced in Asia, the Maghreb, and India, it has also been part of Western culture for several decades. In the spa industry, you’ll find foot baths included in certain specific rituals, such as the Japanese Bath ritual or the Ayurvedic ritual.
Why not try this at home? After a tough day of work, for example? Here are our tips and tricks to enjoy the benefits of this ritual:
- To relieve pain, such as circulation problems, soak your feet in cold water at about 15 °C for three minutes, then rinse with warm water. This will improve venous return, relieve tension, and boost your energy.
- Looking for total relaxation after prolonged physical exertion or a busy day at work? Treat yourself to a warm foot bath between 37°C and 42°C. This will help you relax and eliminate toxins. Finish by rinsing with lukewarm or slightly cool water for complete relaxation and improved blood circulation.
- If you’d like, you can add a few drops of essential oils to your foot bath, choosing different scents depending on the desired effect. Lavender, tiare flowers, and ylang-ylang for a “cocooning” effect, or eucalyptus, peppermint, or lemon for a more energizing effect.
- If your feet need it, use a scrub for your feet or a pumice stone to soften the calloused and dry areas.
- Feel free to finish your ritual by wiping your feet feet with a small towel moistened with warm water (oshibori). This ritual is very common at spas; the effect is soothing and relaxing.
- Finally, you can use a moisturizer and apply it by massaging the painful areas to relieve built-up tension.
Our products that are recommended, ethical, and natural
- For your pond, a few products we recommend here
- For your essential oils, we recommend DoTerra, a really great brand we discovered recently DoTerra
- To take care of your feet:
– Scrubs from the Botaniclas brand or for those who love DIY, create your own scrub with We Are Thought
– Pumice stone from the brand Beauty By Earth
– Moisturizing balms from the brand Botanicals
Does that make you want to give it a try? Then don’t wait any longer—pamper your feet!

A Cinq Mondes location we highly recommend. Located in the beautiful Beau Rivage Palace Hotel in Lausanne, Cinq Mondes will welcome you with professionalism and enthusiasm. The team will do everything to ensure you have a unique experience!
We loved the sense of well-being we felt right from the moment we entered the waiting area, with a beautiful pool decorated with flowers in the center of the room. You’ll also be delighted to enjoy the steam room and sauna, as well as the two heated pools, one of which opens onto the outdoors.

Zents: A Unique Story, Ethical Cosmetics
Hello, dear readers,
We’d like to share our latest favorite with you: Zents.
Zents is a cosmetics brand we discovered during a visit to the Ponte Vedra Beach spa in Florida, USA.
The collection features ten scent themes (Mandarin, Earth, Petal, Fresh, Ore, Oolong, Anjou, Sun, Fig, Water) and includes massage oils, facial lotions, roll-ons, as well as bath products and eaux de toilette.
What won us over? The quality of the scents and the beautiful way they communicate their values.
Beyond the aesthetics and the products themselves, all the formulas are natural. You’ll also find no fewer than six quality certifications, attesting to the products’ cruelty-free status, recyclability, and eco-friendly production.
In a very authentic way, the bottles feature ingredients labeled “Always” and “Never,” as well as the brand’s values such as “Love,” “Peace,” and “Gratitude.”
I invite you to browse the site to learn more. You’ll discover a very touching story behind Zents: that of a man, Cord Coen, who found a path to healing following a car accident. After this terrible event, Cord Coen suffered from chronic and intense physical pain and lost almost all of his sense of smell. After several attempts at traditional treatments, his doctors concluded that he would never recover.
Cord Coen didn’t let it get him down and went to India, where he practiced yoga and meditation and began living a healthier lifestyle. A year later, he was completely cured of his ailments.
He later decided to launch Zents, a cosmetics brand dedicated to healing the ailments of the skin and the mind, sharing his outlook on life and his expertise with his customers.
We loved it:
- The Oolong line for its intoxicating aroma: lemon, petitgrain, oolong tea, lavender, and bergamot.
- The Sun line’s concrete balm: a little gem for soothing dry areas, with a very pleasant scent and texture.
Enjoy exploring, everyone!

Who’s behind our video tutorials?
Hello, dear readers,
I wanted to write this article especially for you so that you can find out who is a9> is behind our video tutorials!
With How To Spa, I wanted to create a world of wellness that’s accessible to everyone. I fell in love with this world, and wanted to turn it into something unique.
People around me were telling me that more and more of them were looking for a way to recharge—at times of the day or week that worked for them.
Having discovered and worked in the spa industry, I’ve seen firsthand the real benefits these wellness centers provide.
Why not bring this experience home, on the road, to the office, or while commuting? With the help of spa experts, a selection of ethical products, and a few handy tips, you can recreate this atmosphere and enjoy its benefits.
15 tutorials were created, initially as online booklets.
Recently, We have created 3 video tutorials, in French and English, to teach you how to make your own “At-Home Spa.”
Tips, self-massage techniques, and recommended products—we offer you a complete experience just like at a luxury spa.
But who are the experts behind the making of these videos?
The location: the Free Persephone spa
What could be more better than a cozy spot designed to feel like a spa right in your own home?
Located in the heart of Paris, Spa Free Perséphone offers its services in an atmosphere reminiscent of both a tea room and a Parisian apartment. This urban spa, known for its pedicures and manicures in a charming tea room, also offers massage services. From facials to body massages, it has everything you need for a truly blissful experience.
I had the chance to visit this spa a few months before How To Spa was launched, and I’ve stayed in close contact with the team ever since. Lauren, the spa’s founder, is an exceptional host, and her team went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time on the day of the shoot.

The model: Fabienne, spa consultant and creator of massage protocols for massages
Fabienne Crocq has been collaborating with How To Spa since its inception. I met her through the former spa manager at Thémae (Tiphaine Modeste, who now runs her own spa management consulting firm, ESBE), and it was love at first sight for me.
Incredibly talented at creating unique massage techniques, she has worked at some of the industry’s leading establishments, including Cinq Mondes and Thémae. As the creator of the self-massage segments in our tutorials, her cheerful disposition and expertise have been an immense asset to How To Spa.
It was a no-brainer for me to ask her to be the model for the videos!
Fabienne offers her services as a consultant and trainer, and is currently working with Vinésime, one of our partner brands.
You can follow her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/fabs_yksilo/
The filming and editing team: The Zéro Six agency
It was thanks to Fabienne that I was able to connect with the Zéro Six agency. This agency has had the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, including France 2.
We spent a day filming with a friendly and efficient team. Their collaboration during the pre-production phase and their post-production work allowed us to create some truly beautiful videos. They were incredible collaborators—kind, proactive, and professional. Thanks again to them and their incredible talent!

And then there’s me, a young entrepreneur and founder of How To Spa. I’ve put my doubts about aside and decided to believe in my dreams 🙂
This day was the very example of what I’m trying to achieve: to create, as a team, a service whose the goal is to do good for others.

So, have a great time, everyone!

Massages from Around the World
Hello, dear readers of How To Spa,
Have you ever wondered what types of massages are offered in most of wellness centers ?
In fact, our tutorials offer relaxation techniques through self-massage, inspired by the most renowned massage techniques found in the spa industry.
Would you be interested in learning more about the different types of massages available?
The most well-known and commonly offered treatments are often the Relaxing Massage (a light massage) or the Deep Tissue Massage (a more intense massage). In addition to these two options, many spas frequently offer other types of massages, which you can explore below.
Whether you’re experiencing specific aches and pains, muscle tension, intense stress, or simply want to unwind, these massages inspired by traditions from around the world will help you escape the daily grind.
From Japan to Sweden, passing through India and MaliMali, let yourself be enchanted by this gentle journey into the world of relaxation.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a massage technique of Japanese origin. The word “shiatsu” means “pressure from the fingers” in Japanese.
This traditional massage will bring you peace, vitality, energy, and good health.
It involves applying varying degrees of pressure with the fingers along the acupuncture meridians. It releases tension in tight areas of the body and also promotes a sense of well-being and vitality. It is performed on the floor on a futon. Clients usually wear cotton pajamas.
It is recommended to get a massage from an expert who has several years of experience so that the massage is effective. Just as with the martial arts, the practitioners are true masters “masters.”
The Lomi Lomi
Originating in Hawaii, the Lomi Lomi massage is based on the ancient belief that an energy called “Mana” flows through the body. Through this practice, the body is harmonized and regains its energetic balance.
This massage is both relaxing and invigorating, just like the waves of Hawaii that can be calm or very powerful. It will take you on a journey to the most paradisiacal islands.
The movements are rhythmic and deep, using the arms and forearms. It is performed with oil on a massage table.
Thai
This massage, which originated in Thailand, stems from a very ancient form of therapy, practiced for thousands of millennia.
Its goal is to stimulate circulation, flexibility, and energy throughout the entire body.
This comprehensive massage applies pressure of varying intensity along the energy lines. The therapist uses their thumbs, but sometimes also their knees, elbows, and feet. It also includes a stretching phase, which is perfect for those suffering from muscle stiffness.
He is lying on the floor on a futon. The client is dressed in a pajama made of cotton most often.
The Korean
Korean massage is one of the most relaxing types of massage, derived from traditional Chinese massage techniques.
You’ll experience a sense of total well-being, relief from muscle tension, relief from back tension, and for some, it will help prevent insomnia.
The movements consist of vibrations in key areas, such as the joints, moving from the feet up to the head. Stretching exercises are also performed.
He is lying on the floor on a futon. The client is dressed in a pajama made of cotton most often.
And Chi Nei Tsang
This massage, which originated in China, focuses exclusively on the abdomen. It stems from the most ancient traditions passed down from generation to generation.
This is an abdominal massage designed to rejuvenate the internal organs. According to Chinese medicine, the abdomen is the body’s “second brain.” The massage aims to release negative energy concentrated in the abdomen and bring emotions into balance. It helps flush out and eliminate accumulated toxins.
The movements are a series of rocking motions in specific areas of the body: abdomen, diaphragm, chest, lateral areas of the abdomen, dorsal-lumbar or renal areas of the back.
It is performed using oil on a massage table.
I’ll tell you
Originating in Mali and Ivory Coast, this massage is still not very well known, even though it has been around for more than over more than ten thousand years.
Historically, it is performed on the infants one week after their birth and helps stimulate the functions of their bodies.
In addition to promoting relaxation and rest, it is also highly recommended for relieving muscle pain and releasing nervous tension—and, more generally, for alleviating accumulated stress.
Her movements are long and undulating, designed to stretch and envelop the body.
It is very often performed using shea butter on a massage table.
Ayurvedic
Originating in India, this massage is inspired by Ayurveda—which means “science of life” (or “science of longevity”)—and traditional Indian massage. This practice is one of the oldest in the world.
Its purpose is to flush out toxins that have accumulated in the body so that they can be eliminated. It also relieves muscle tension.
Using circular and gliding pressure, friction, acupressure, and stretching, this treatment will help you achieve relaxation and harmony in your body, thanks in particular to its moderate and fluid rhythm.
It is performed with oil on a massage table.
The Swede
This very well-known massage technique was developed by the Swedish Per Henrik Ling.
It will relieve your aches and pains, your muscle tension, or even your stress.
Deep and powerful, it involves several movements that focus on the muscles and joints, as well as on the nervous and circulatory systems. When performed correctly, it produces effects on the body similar to those achieved through gymnastics.
It is performed using oil on a massage table.

Have a great time, everyone!
An Interview with Pauline, Fitness & Yoga Coach
Dear members,
Because we want to help you achieve well-being in your daily life, we invite you to meet Pauline, a fitness coach and yoga instructor who works at top hotel spas such as the Ritz, as well as in clients’ homes. Her background is a reflection of her passion, and her advice will help you lead a healthier lifestyle every day.
“Hello, Pauline,
Thank you for welcoming me and for taking the time to do this interview.
How To Spa is always looking to feature experts in the wellness industry. Our readers will be delighted to learn about your passion and read your advice.
Tell us a little more about your background—why did you choose this career?
I’ve been passionate about sports since I was very young, so it was only natural that I chose this career, which emphasizes human interaction.
In 2010, I began offering private coaching to several celebrities at a weight-loss center on the Champs-Élysées. As soon as I earned my fitness certifications, I worked for four years as a fitness instructor at Club Med Gym before devoting myself full-time to in-home coaching. After that, I traveled to India to train in yoga—a truly unique experience!
Building on this experience, I am now thriving at the prestigious Ritz in Paris, thanks to my health-focused yoga classes and customized services.
You’re currently working at a major luxury hotel in Paris. What has this wonderful experience brought you?
It is a true privilege to apply my expertise within a high-end establishment. I am able to put my perfectionist nature to good use in this environment, where the goal is to deliver a one-of-a-kind service. This enriching experience has equipped me with additional skills, including unparalleled expertise in the hospitality industry.
What services do you offer at home?
I offer a wide range of services in the form of classes for individuals or small groups, indoors and or outdoors.
Specifically, strength training using small equipment (TRX, boxing, dumbbells, resistance bands, etc.), “cardio” workouts, and any yoga exercises that help improve posture, balance, flexibility, and joint mobility.
The goal is to listen, guide, support, motivate, and adapt to each person’s level—whether men, women, children, seniors, couples, etc. During a trial session, I assess the participant’s level through simple physical tests before developing a personalized program tailored to their needs.
Let’s take a quick look at yoga. What are its benefits? Also, you had the opportunity to train with some of the greatest teachers in India. Tell us about your experience there.
Yoga, an ancient practice, is becoming increasingly popular; it offers numerous benefits for both the body and the mind. I was drawn to the therapeutic aspect of this discipline. After suffering several injuries due to excessive sports training, I felt it was essential to find a complementary activity described as “restorative and preventive.” I knew right away that India, the birthplace of yoga, was the ideal destination to fully immerse myself in an authentic learning experience. I was determined to study under Gérard Arnaud, a pioneer of Vinyasa Yoga and a leading authority in France. My thirst for learning allowed me to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible. I was able to share this knowledge as soon as I returned by creating my own group classes.
Do you have any advice for our readers? To feel better physically and mentally, what kinds of exercises can people do? When and how? How often do you recommend doing them?
I’d say that everyone needs to find their own balance. I often come across people who exercise out of a sense of obligation. Start by finding an activity that suits you so you can treat it as a hobby rather than a chore.
Then, the key is to adopt a healthy lifestyle—it’s a virtuous cycle!
Mix it up according to your schedule: Strength training + cardio + yoga, three times a week, is a healthy foundation.
Personalized guidance from a professional helps optimize your results and prevent injuries.
Whether it’s in a gym, outdoors, at home, alone or with friends, whatever your age may be, don’t hesitate—get moving! Take the time for your health and pay attention to the signs from your body: always prioritize safe practices, yes, it’s important!
Thank you to all our readers, and thank you to How to Spa for this wonderful collaboration.
See you soon!
Pauline, Sports Coach “

Relaxation and Its Scents
Chers lecteurs d’How To Spa,
In all of our relaxation tutorials, you’ll find recommended products to help you recharge. These include scented candles, home fragrances and sprays, and cosmetics in a variety of scents. All have been carefully selected to help you achieve your desired effect: relaxation, energization, or detox.
Because in the spa environment, stimulating the senses—including the sense of smell—is essential to promoting relaxation. These products all contain natural ingredients that will soothe your mind through their scents.
In fact, teams of neurologists have proven that the sense of smell—a primary and complex sense—is directly linked to emotions. An example of how this is applied? Patty Canac, a renowned expert in the perfume industry, has been working for several years with medical experts to develop olfactotherapy, a method that uses scent to help patients with language and memory disorders.
Certain flowers and citrus fruits are known for their calming effects, such as lavender, bergamot, mandarin, ylang-ylang, vanilla, jasmine, and lotus.
Spicier, more masculine scents can have an energizing effect, such as ginger, cinnamon, oud, or Scots pine.
Finally, certain specific citrus fruits and spices are known for their detoxifying effects, such as lemon, sage, verbena, peppermint, and juniper.
Among our many products we recommend, here are our favorites:
The Water of Bangalore from Five Worlds
For an ultra-relaxing effect, try Cinq Mondes’ Bengalore water—spray it on your pillow before going to sleep. We’ve rarely experienced such a pleasant effect on the mind. All the tension in your temples, eyes, and neck seems to melt away thanks to a comforting and soothing scent of vanilla and cardamom.
Available at: https://www.cinqmondes.com/eau-de-bengalore.html
Natura Brasil’s Pitanga Shower Gel
For an energizing experience during your daily shower, nothing beats Natura Brasil’s Pitanga Shower Gel. Combined with our self-massage techniques, you’ll love letting yourself be swept away by the refreshing scent of Pitanga, a tropical plant native to Brazil.
Available at: https://www.naturabrasil.fr/fr/product/prd-38302/ekos-gelee-douche-exfoliante-pitanga
“Inner Strength Roller Ball” by Aromatherapy Associates
To clear your mind of all negative thoughts, try this roll-on from Aromatherapy Associates: the “Inner Strength Roller Ball.” Sage and frankincense will work on your mind to boost your positivity.
Available at: https://www.aromatherapyassociates.com/usa/inner-strength-roller-ball.html
So relax, and let yourself be swept away by its invigorating scents!

Charlotte Sugier and her team welcome you to this one-of-a-kind wellness center.
First, step into the store’s relaxing atmosphere, where you’ll find scrub stations and a stunning oil bar. There, you can freely sample their relaxing, energizing, or mind-cleansing scents.
