On land or in water, I like to start a private session by making contact with the reality of the moment, through the breath awareness… Listening to our breath cycles, we quiet the mind, we dive into ourselves getting in touch with our own sensitivity.

The treatment can begin. First we engage at the physical matter with simple body sensations, to potentially shift to a broaden holistic experience of one’s ‘body mind emotion’ .

Supported by the fluid nature of Water or grounded by the firmness of Earth, each session offers various benefits from experiencing Well being, body tension release towards emotional balance, as we work more specific assets like spine liberation and neck relief, reduction in articulation’s pain.

Tailor made Waterness journey™ sessions are efficient for water traumas and phobias, anxiety and trust issues by creating a bond of healthy intimacy and support. Waterness Journey™ sessions can also be interactive, playful. The receiver is invited, if he wishes to, to express his creativity by any free movement. The therapeutic dimension arises from the power of the body in finding a form of healing, by liberating the spontaneous impulse which lead into ‘no mind’ movement. The fluid and natural forms that the giver initiates in the receiver body, also support self-regulation into physical and emotional equilibrium.

Floating in 35degrees water is beneficial during pregnancy as the body relaxes, lower back gentle releases with adapted moves, while the mother explores a similar environment as the foetus.

Water treatment will improve for all, the breath capacity and can be shared from adolescents to elder people.

Traditional Ayurvedic massage reduce pain and increase sleep, it alignes the body at deep levels, harmonising with Chavutti powerful long stroke or enveloping qualities of Abhyanga.

By touching, by listening, by following one’s breath, we gather together sacred spaces that offer opportunities to observe and release holding patterns and limiting beliefs. In an environment of intimacy and confidence, we commune beyond words, dancing in the space between bodies & breaths.

Just like the moon reflects the light on us … this therapeutic approach aims at bringing awareness onto the healing power that exist in each of us, supported by powerful warm water and warm oil therapies, in their own specific qualities.

“This is the second time I’ve had the chance to receive this Chavutti massage from Sophie Costes. Each time the relaxation is complete: the penetrating movement of the feet, delicate and precise, brings an unequalled sense of well-being. Tensions can finally let go, giving way to deep replenishment…”

“If I had to choose something to soothe my body and my mind it would always be a chavutti session with Sophie. I can´t hide my passion for this type of body work which gets to the deep layers of the body in the most natural progression and rhythm. Held by the warmth of the oils and the right pressure in the skin, sliding and uniting the body, I feel waves of pleasure and release. You can´t believe all this is done with the feet, which seem to have the perfect shape and texture e to help me let go into stillness and confidence. I could have one every day and never get tired!”

“Offering your body a chavutti massage with Sophie is a wonderful gift. This massage combines depth, amplitude and precision. Her feet know where to go, and Sophie’s listening allows a surprising reading and understanding of your body. All of this carried by her gentleness and kindness — you will be transported into a state of deep relaxation and letting go. I highly recommend it!”
