On land or in water — an encounter with presence, movement and the body’s balance.

I like to begin a session by making contact with the present moment: often the words, the unspoken… then the breath, the sensations. The mind settles, and the treatment can begin — first on a physical level, then toward a more global experience of the self, where emotions, bodily awareness and thoughts meet. Carried by the fluid support of water or the stability of the earth, the body releases its tensions and moves, session after session, toward a more lasting emotional and somatic balance.

When the need arises, the session opens to interactivity, sometimes to play: spontaneous movements, stretches, self-immersions. This “thoughtless” movement, initiated by the body itself, releases accumulated energy and opens access to the deep memories held in the tissues.

TESTIMONIALS

“A sublime moment where the body unfolds — flight, a vortex of softness and lightness, total trust… Joy is reborn in this marvelous ritual… A moment in suspension where the infinitely small reigns… Thank you for this superb experience. Thank you Sophie for this moment of grace.”

“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…”

Stéphanie B.

"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!”
