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.

Madeleine's method facilitates an exceptional nervous system reset. Profound rest and regeneration. Clients observe that treatments not only refresh the face and skin, but provide clarity, spaciousness, and respite.

Swan Light reflects Madeleine's dedication to creating movement and subtle transformation in her clients' lives. This encompasses the individual as a whole. She believes in the body's innate capacity to heal, its resilience, and its inherent grace. She aims to support this with her application of kobido and care.

Madeleine's gifts lie in her deep energetic awareness and ability to read a client's skin in a truly unique and pointed way. Her refinement, precision and integrity create a container which provides visible aesthetic shifts, and the possibility for deeper reflection. Her unflinching approach suggests that we require an undoing before we can reach an integrated state.

Clients emerge with an exceedingly remarkable glow — a glow that is decidedly their own. Light from within, reflected out.

Treatments restore and maintain the volumes of the face. Skin and musculature are lifted, toned, aligned and sculpted. Lymphatic drainage provides a clearing that is both physiological and emotional. Fibroblasts are stimulated, supporting the production of collagen and elastin. Tissues are enlivened. The subtle bodies are nourished.

Swan Light offers a lift that is multidimensional and alchemical. A facelift for your entire being.

Testimonials

“A face massage with Swan Light is one of the most nurturing, luminous experiences you could dream of.

As delicate and precise as ballet, performed with the solemn reverence of a tea ceremony. It feels unbelievably lovely: rippling, swirling, rhythmic movements that have balanced my face (as well as relaxed my mind & detoxed my soul). I leave smelling of strawberries, and feeling aligned, sculpted and renewed, every time.

Madeleine is doing something very special and her devotion to her practice invites trust and softening.” (MR)

“Swan Light's kobido face massage is one of the best treatments I've ever had. 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.

Madeleine is a quiet, warm, professional, and highly skilled practitioner whose hands remain focused on your face for the full 70 minutes of your treatment; a rare treat indeed.

Whilst it is billed as a face massage I've learned it's so much more than this and that for me at least it has a similar effect to acupuncture on my body, mind, heart and spirit.

I emerge with an open, toned, relaxed yet lifted face on a skin and musculature level.

But surprisingly and what keeps me returning regularly is I emerge feeling like my load has been lightened, tension dissolved and resolved, layers of stress having been gently nudged to roll off and away.

Come if you want your skin and face to look better, return for the post treatment grounded calm and peace.” (LC)

“Swan Light is the most relaxing therapy I've ever tried, more so than any other modality.

Kobido has been a little like time travel, not in the sense that it is anti- or reverse-aging, which it certainly is, but because Madeleine's hands unearth memories and emotions that are long thought lost, for years or even decades.

The face is a cosmos in itself of bottled and forgotten things, feelings, I honestly didn't know were there.

I wish I could attend to this ritual on a daily basis. After the first session, I saw colours that hadn't previously existed to me.

I would highly recommend Swan Light not just for those looking to lift and smooth but anyone looking for some TLC and transcendence.” (JQ)
