Pause

After the flowing movements of facial massage, my hands become still.

I gently hold your head, letting you rest in that stillness. Often, by this point, you’re asleep.

My Reiki training influences what I bring to this moment. There is tenderness in this touch, along with intentions that reach beyond the skin. Each person is different, and so is what I feel drawn to offer. Sometimes calm, sometimes renewed energy, sometimes simply love.

These moments mean a lot to me, and are as much a part of Pause as the massage itself.

One year in Byron, pausing with you.

Thank you for your trust, for the moments we’ve shared, and for recommending Pause to the people you love. Your support has meant so much to me.

To celebrate, I’m giving away The Seasonal Pause, a 90-minute treatment valued at $240, tailored to your skin, your season of life and how you’re feeling.

Some shifts can be felt in a single treatment. Others unfold through consistency.

A Series of Six is an invitation to return regularly—to support lymphatic flow, soften held tension and nurture the skin’s natural vitality over time.

Purchase five treatments upfront and receive your sixth as a gift.

Available for Kobido Face Massage and The Seasonal Ritual.
Packages are valid for six months, with optional add-ons available separately.

Purchase your series through Fresha or in the studio. ♡

From 6 July to 3 August, Pause will be taking a little break while I head back to France with my family.

If you’ve been meaning to book a treatment or redeem a gift voucher, there are still a few appointments available before I leave.

Thank you, as always, for your trust and support.

I look forward to welcoming you back from Tuesday 4 August, rested and ready for a new season.

With love,
Marine ♥︎
