Cin 1981, contagious smilevery long black hair and a model silhouette. Passing through Milan for a series of training courses dedicated to his method MiracleTouchthe Brazilian masseuse Renata França took the time for an interview with us. We asked her how she became the most sought-after body expert in the worldwith its body massages booked well in advance even by top models Victoria’s Secret before the shows.
The secrets of reshaping body massage according to beauty guru Renata França
Renata França, who has a reputation like a rock star in the world of massage, it was built from scratch and he made his own approach to lymphatic drainage and body contouring a code recognized and exported all over the world. A success born from a simple but radical promise: see and feel the change from the first session (an hour of pure pleasure, among other things, given that for Renata França, relaxation remains a key element of her signature massage). Here is his story.
What are the strong points of the exclusive MiracleTouch?
«First of all, ours treatment involves the whole body and is not limited to just the legs or just the abdomen: it would make no sense to move the lymph only in one section and exclude the other. After an hour the client notices the result: the swelling is reducedthe abdomen deflates, the shapes are remodeled, but above all the internal state changes: less stress, more serenity.”
«Massage – and not just mine – activates the production of feel-good hormones. If we add to this a redefined and lightened silhouette, happiness is total. Even more so for today’s women, who, between hormonal changes, cycles of medications, and hectic lives, often tend to retain liquids and feel perpetually bloated.”
Before international success, what did you dream of doing with your life?
«As a girl I dreamed of being a journalist. I come from a simple family, but I had a passion for magazines and writing.”
Then, however, he enters the world of massage. What happens in that moment?
«I started to working in a French spa inside a luxury hotel in Sao Paulo. There I understood something very powerful: People’s bodies change mood when touched in the right way. People thanked me after the classic relaxing and decontracting massages, as if they came back to life.”
When did you realize that you could invent “classic” lymphatic drainage?
«Clients were often disappointed after the lymphatic drainage treatmentbecause they did not see immediate and tangible changes. In fact the The limit of lymphatic drainage is that it works gradually and imperceptible and this can create a sort of discouragement in those looking for a visible result. That’s where I felt the need to evolve the method.”
«I wondered if it was It is possible to combine drainage with the gestures of a more intense, more perceptible remodeling massage. I sat with my head down studying and studying. I immersed myself inanatomy, in the functioning of lymphatic and muscular system. And then I started testing, correcting, iterating. The body taught more than books.”
Do you remember the moment when the method took shape?
“Yes. One of the first customers, an elegant and demanding Italian woman, told me that the The result was incredible, almost miraculous. It was confirmation that I was going in the right direction. That’s where the name came from MiracleTouch for my signature body massage.”
When did you realize that the method was proving successful?
«When word of mouth from my clients became unmanageable. I worked from dawn until late at night, up to 12 clients a day, often at home, one appointment after another. Then it arrived the cover up Vogue Brazil and everything exploded. I understood that I had to train other people and I started with my sister: I could no longer keep up with the requests alone. Then, the t bookings arrivedtreatment before the Victoria’s Secret fashion shows».
Every time, ideally, treat yourself to a treatment MiracleTouch?
«Nothing prevents you from giving it to yourself when you need it, but to my clients I always repeat that it’s like the gym: you can’t think about going to train when it happens and believe that your body will remain toned and strong. You need a plan, you need a structure. For those who have the time and possibility, one treatment per week would be optimal. Not only will you get a redesigned body with less cellulite, but you will sleep better, you will be more serene and motivated. And ours MiracleTouch it is also perfect in the immediate postpartum period: how many new mothers thank us for how they feel after giving birth!”.
