🌟 Bienvenue à Pascale Costanzo, Québec, Canada !
Nous sommes heureux de vous accueillir en tant que compétitrice au Championnat canadien de massage thaïlandais et oriental 2026.

Pascale Costanzo est massothérapeute certifiée et kinésithérapeute. Elle exerce à Sainte-Thérèse, au Québec, où elle a fondé Ubuntu-Wellness. Au cœur de sa pratique se trouve une intention profonde : aider les femmes à reconnecter avec leur corps. Par le toucher conscient, le mouvement, les bercements, les étirements et des techniques inspirées notamment du massage suédois et thaïlandais, Pascale crée des soins qui invitent à ralentir, à se déposer et à retrouver un sentiment de sécurité et de connexion avec soi.
Sa passion pour la massothérapie l’a également menée vers les compétitions nationales et internationales. En 2026, elle s’est classée 4e en catégorie Wellness au Championnat canadien, 4e en Freestyle Western et 5e en Wellness au Championnat européen de massage à Paris, puis 3e en Wellness à Cherokee, en Caroline du Nord. Elle avait également remporté deux médailles de bronze au championnat 7 Wonders à Riviera Maya en 2025.
Pour Pascale, la massothérapie va bien au-delà du travail sur le corps. C’est une façon de créer un espace où chaque femme peut se déposer, se retrouver et revenir pleinement habiter son corps.

Nous avons hâte de vous retrouver à Montréal !
