Ways to work together

This is for you if

  • You take care of your family, your work, and everyone around you, and your body is keeping the score.
  • You have tried massage, therapy, and specialists, and the relief never seems to last.
  • Your pain, sleep, or mood seems to shift with your cycle, and no one has connected the dots.
  • You are ready to invest in something that changes how you feel, not just another appointment.

You do not have to explain yourself here. You are a woman in a room made for women.

I read the body through touch

When my hands meet a muscle, I can often feel how you use it every day. The leg you balance on. The hip you hold a little higher. The shoulder that braces before you even notice.

Your body keeps a quiet record of how you live. I have spent years learning to listen to it, and that listening shapes every session.

You are not handed a routine. You are met where your body actually is.

Your body was never meant to heal in a straight line

Your body moves in seasons. Your cycle has an inner winter, spring, summer, and autumn, and it echoes the moon and the year around you. Healing follows a curve, too. We work with those rhythms, not against them.

What your body is holding

We listen for what has been stored in your tissue and what your body has been trying to say.

Posture from the ground up

We restore your foundation, from your feet to your center, so your posture can return without forcing it.

Fascia, habits, and presence

As your fascia softens and your daily habits shift, the way you carry yourself begins to change.

Movement in flow

You learn to move in curves and waves, so your body realigns with nature instead of against it.

Hi, I’m Mar

I’m Martine Chantal Breau, a Certified Massage Therapist (CAMTC) and the founder of Her Femina Studio. I work only with women.

I learned what massage can do at ten years old, when a scoliosis diagnosis brought daily headaches and pain, and massage was what finally brought relief.

I built this studio for the woman who takes care of everyone and is ready to be taken care of, deeply and consistently.

Questions women often ask

Is Her Femina Studio only for women?

Yes. Her Femina Studio is a women only studio in Encinitas. The space, the scheduling, and the work are built for women, so you never have to explain your cycle, your body, or your boundaries.

Why does my tension come back after every massage?

One session can soften what you are holding, and then daily life loads it right back on. Lasting change usually needs steady care, nervous system support, and a rhythm your body can trust. That is why many women move from a single session into The Curve.

What is somatic massage?

Somatic massage pays attention to the connection between your body, your nervous system, and what you have been carrying emotionally. At Her Femina Studio it blends myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, and calm, steady touch that helps your body feel safe enough to let go.

Where do I start?

Most women begin with a 90 minute session so you can feel the work before choosing a longer path.

Where are you located?

171 Saxony Rd Suite 207, Encinitas, CA 92024. Women come from across North County San Diego. We are open Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
