My Journey to Barcelona

I'm Julien - Your Massage Therapist in Barcelona

My path to professional massage started at home in Évreux, Normandy - walking on my dad's back to ease his pain, then helping my sisters with their aches. What began as family care evolved into my profession.

At 20, I moved to Lille and learned professional techniques from an experienced mentor. Later, in a small village on the French Riviera, I discovered Thai massage at a local massage school. That discovery changed everything.

Wanting to master authentic Thai techniques, I traveled to Thailand and studied at TMC Massage School in Chiang Mai - from foundations through advanced therapy. I also trained at Shewa Spa in Bangkok, learning Thai foot reflexology from masters who've dedicated their lives to the craft.

Building Under Pressure Massage

I opened Under Pressure Massage in Barcelona in May 2015. After seven years at my first location, I moved to my current studio in 2022, a professional 5th-floor space at Ronda Universitat 7. The building houses psychologists and language schools, creating a quiet, professional environment focused on your well-being.

My Approach

Clear Communication

I explain exactly what each massage offers and how it works for your body. You'll know what to expect, the techniques I use, the pressure levels available and transparent pricing before you book.

Professional Boundaries

I'm a certified massage practitioner specialising in muscle tension and stress relief. My focus is professional massage work, 15+ years of French and Thai training applied to everyday tension, athletic recovery and relaxation.

Solo Practice

Every session is with me, Julien. You'll experience consistent technique, familiar hands and the same quality care each time. One practitioner means personalised attention that builds on what your body needs.
