The company's curriculum spans 10+ massage technique specializations — including Californian, Swedish, Vodder lymphatic drainage, Kobido, Tibetan bowl, Amma seated, deep tissue/sports, Thai, Ayurvedic, and prenatal massage — and culminates in three recognized credentialing pathways: CAP Esthétique Cosmétique & Parfumerie, the private Masseur Bien-Être certification, and the state-recognized RNCP Titre Intervenant Spa et Bien-être co-issued with CF Création & Éducation and CCI Ille-et-Vilaine. Training is delivered at 10 physical academies across major French cities (Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Marseille, Nice, Paris, Strasbourg, Toulouse) and via a digital learning platform providing 1-year access to 10+ video courses. Temana is Qualiopi-certified and registered as a training center under number 73 31 05775 31.

The company trains 2,000+ learners per year and operates with ~20 administrative staff and a network of 30+ freelance/contract trainers. Revenue is generated primarily through per-course tuition fees for certifications and skill modules, supplemented by recurring e-learning subscriptions, customized corporate on-site training, and weekend venue rental of the Toulouse facility to third-party training organizations. Distribution runs direct-to-consumer through temana.fr and the physical academies, with public funding channels (CPF, CPF de transition, CSP, PSE/PDV, Agefice, Fifpl, FAFCEA, France Travail) and Oney Bank installment payments (3x/4x) supporting enrollment affordability. Marketing is executed through a blog, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, an email newsletter, a referral program, and a maintained 4.9-star Google rating.

Temana is a privately held EURL (single-member limited liability company) wholly controlled by its founder Sandra Marin, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or external funding. The company signals forward intent to expand operations beyond France into additional European geographies, supported by its RNCP-recognized credentials, which are portable across EU member states. Adjacent ecosystem activity includes a graduate practitioner network, a referral partnership with wellness product brand Nandara, and an accommodation partnership with Appart'City for traveling learners.
