Our Day Spa Staff

Masseur — Marie Alexis

Marie Alexis, Masseur This dancer, choreographer and dance pedagogue studied Contemporary Dance in Zurich and London. This resulted in an intensive research of the human body and the effect of movement on the body, mind and soul. The desire to apply the results of her searchings in a therapeutic way led her to train in classical massage and develop her own technique. In her project “re-naissance, creative therapy bodywork,” she wishes to express and share that which is important to her: a healthy, creative rapport with her own body and ....life.

She imparts her treatments, coaching, group work and performance projects.with her fresh optimism, warmth, sensitivity and heart and soul. Marie Alexis is active in various artistic engagements. Her keen interest in philosophy, psychology and social themes flows naturally into all her activities.

Specialised Aloe Vera Consultant/Facial treatment Specialist — Karola Chançai

Karola Chanai A personal and significant experience brought the german hobby journalist into contact with the Aloe Vera plant which was unknown to her at the time. The single parenting mother of an adolescent son, who has been trained in image technology, began concerning herself seriously with topics such as health, wellness and nutrition after undergoing a rather rapid and somewhat miraculous healing from a long standing chronique ailment with Aloe Vera which occurred after applying it as a food supplement.

Karola Chançai acquired her specialisation in Aloe Vera and massage practices in a number of further trainings. She now enjoys sharing her skills with people who are interested in boosting their immune system, preventing illness and to whom wellbeing and maintaining full vitality are of utmost importance.
