The Centre de Sante has between five and nine people on staff, depending on the season. The Centre de Sante is a little like a guest house, or even a private house, and Blanchard has added hints of her Asian approach to spirituality. The small living room has Asian screens along with a fireplace and a television. The centre offers professional, personalized care. Blanchard herself is trained in several types of massage, including shiatsu, Swedish, mass-kinesthetics, reflexology and reiki.
Guests also have access to a dry sauna, steam cabinets and a Japanese hot tub.
They can take workshops in various lifestyle issues such as energy assessment and biorhythms. The algae wrap is a treatment for detoxifying and remineralizing the body. The customer is wrapped in a mud-like powder that's mixed with water and essential oils, and then packaged in foil and professional heating blankets. One cooks in the mummified state for about 20 minutes and then is escorted to a special therapeutic bathtub where jets of air blow off the clumps of seaweed. Simple, light, comfortable gear is recommended as well as clothing and footwear for walks, and a bathing suit and towel.
