Massage & body treatments
The ancestral wisdom of touch, at the heart of care
ĀPANUA | Massage & Body Care was born from the meeting of two heritages, two cultures and two visions deeply connected to life: the Mā'ohi culture of Polynesia and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.
From HONONUA , rooted in the relationship to the land, the elements, the living and the Mā'ohi traditions, to ĀPAVEDA , inspired by Wisdom & Ayurvedic Wellness, a unique approach to the body, touch and well-being was born.
ĀPANUA thus becomes a space for encounter and transmission, where these two wisdoms respond to each other without merging. The elements, breath, movement, touch, rituals, and presence become so many paths to return to the body and reconnect with oneself.
ĀPANUA is one of the experiences of the QUINTESSENCE ECOSYSTEM .

The Therapeutic Art of Tibetan Singing Bowls
Exploring the therapeutic potential of sound and vibrations
SOVAÏÏ METHOD is a sound and vibrational approach to well-being, which explores the power of sound, frequencies and vibrations through an immersive approach inspired by the art of Tibetan singing bowls.
At the heart of the method, vibrations become a true support for presence. Sound accompanies the body, emotions and sensations, while silence opens a space for integration, listening and reconnection to oneself.
Through three sound experiences: RESET , ALIGN and RELEASE , SOVAÏÏ offers different entry points towards well-being: recovering, regaining balance or letting go of what needs to be released.

ĀQUANUA | HELD IN WATER. REBORN IN FLOW.
Watsu® & Aquatic Therapy Moorea
Healing born from the sacred embrace of water
Born in continuity with the art of touch developed at ĀPANUA | Massages Moorea , ĀQUANUA | Watsu ® Aquatic Therapy – Moorea offers a unique approach to well-being where water becomes a true space for care and reconnection.
At the heart of this experience lies Watsu, a deep aquatic practice that combines with the art of aquatic massage. In the water, touch, movement, and breath synchronize to create an experience of profound relaxation and letting go.
Each session becomes a profound sensory and therapeutic experience. The water amplifies the benefits of touch and naturally extends ĀPANUA 's holistic philosophy: reharmonizing the body, mind, and vital energy.

INFORMATION | MY WATSU® JOURNEY
I validated the Watsu® Basic, Watsu® 1 – Transition Flow and Watsu® 2 trainings with Carlos del Pino, co-founder and instructor of Watsu® and Tantsu, and Keli Procopio, Watsu® instructor and international trainer, at the Polynesia Watsu Center in Moorea.
I am currently finalizing my journey towards becoming a Watsu® Provider, with the support of my sponsor, Keli Procopio, and awaiting the signing of my contract with the WABA (Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association). This step will allow me to officially offer Watsu® sessions within the ĀQUANUA universe, in accordance with the requirements for this status.
I then wish to continue my development towards the status of Watsu® Practitioner, which involves additional hours of training and practice as well as validation of the corresponding WABA requirements. This ongoing training demonstrates my commitment to developing a rigorous, attentive, and caring practice, dedicated to your well-being in the water.

Mauruuur roa for this moment Vahinerii 🌺
I was fortunate enough to receive a massage from Vahinerii, a Polynesian masseuse trained in India, and the experience was exceptional. From the very first minutes, she was able to detect and release all the muscle tension I had accumulated due to stress.
Her technique, blending gentleness, precision, and a true mastery of Indian teachings, completely relieved my pain. You can tell she knows the body perfectly, its points of tension, and that she works with a soothing and caring energy.
I left feeling deeply relaxed, light, and aligned — a true reset for body and mind.
If you're looking for a treatment that's therapeutic, pampering, and performed by a passionate professional, I recommend her without hesitation. A true gem in Moorea 🌺
I had a very high-quality massage with Vahinerii!

A truly comprehensive and highly professional approach.
The setting is perfect and very peaceful.
