In treatment: Fingertip foot-and-facial

Treatment: Metamorphic Technique with Tsuboki facial massage.

Expert: Vivacious Frenchwoman Axelle Bonaparte is a trained life coach who is skilled in delicate tapping treatments the Metamorphic Technique and Tsuboki. Her wisdom is delivered free with the therapies.

Experience: Metamorphic focuses on the feet and hands, while Tsuboki is a Japanese facial technique. Both involve super-fast fingertip massage, featherlight tapping and stroking. Blissful is an understatement.

Science: The hands, feet and face contain many nerve endings and spinal reflex points. Working on them is said to release debilitating patterns of physical behaviour and emotional blocks by freeing the flow of energy through the body. It might sound hippie-dippy but the results can be dramatic.

Results: Glowing skin, tranquil sleep and a magical ability to suddenly get things done are just some benefits of an hour-and-a-half with Axelle.
