Kobido unfolds the face. It's a soft unwrapping, like opening a gift: the slip of a ribbon, a faint rustle of paper... you arrive home to yourself. Originating in Japan in the 15th century, this subtle energetic dance opens the face.
Madeleine's practice, Swan Light, has evolved from a deep commitment to the legacy of kobido face massage, blossoming into a distinct and refined offering.
Her personal relationship to the art of kobido centres on her understanding that to nurture the skin, we must first nurture the nervous system, and this requires an unfolding. Swan Light is an invitation to witness one's own inner landscape.

“A nervous system reset in the form of an incredibly relaxing, gentle, yet highly effective face massage that feels like a dance between practitioner and recipient.” (LC)
