Senzeo Massothérapie

Rachel Blanchard and Hervé Saint-Ouen, enthusiasts of anatomy, physiology and health, are the owners of Senzeo Massothérapie, a clinic located at 2377 Rosemont Boulevard. “I wanted to open a business related to the human body. It was something that interested me a lot,” recalls Rachel. She explains that her massage therapist friend would often talk about her passion for the field. That’s what got Rachel to enrol in a massage therapy class.

It was in that class that Rachel met Hervé, a Frenchman who came to Canada to study massage therapy, since it’s not very popular in France. The two quickly developed a natural chemistry. “It was clear, in our minds, that we wanted to work together at the end of our training.” So, in 2009, they started to build their own customer base, operating in the large apartment that they had uncovered and furnished to practice massage therapy. “It quickly grew,” recalls Rachel. “We had to hire someone. We had children. We had to move to the clinic’s current location.”
