Wellness Studio
[oh - LAY - loo]
A calm, unhurried state of simply being. The quiet act of existing in the present moment. A pause to rest your mind.
This is the space you are invited into.
This is the essence of what Marie-Lynn holds for you. A studio built not around doing, but around allowing.

Offerings
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is an effective and non-invasive therapy practice with clothes on. A gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system — the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord — CST support the body’s natural healing processes and has been proven efficient to improve and treat a wide range of medical problems as migraines, injuries, sleep challenges, post surgery, chronic pain, anxiety, TMJ/jaw issue, PTSD, ... to only name a few.
BIODYNAMIC FASCIAL INTEGRATION
Biodynamic fascial integration (BFI) is an osteopathic-inspired manual therapy approach that treats the body as an interconnected whole rather than isolated parts. It combines several specialized modalities including fascial mobilization, visceral mobilization (organ tissue), and cranio-facsial therapy. By calming the nervous system and restoring natural biotensegrity, BFI aims to resolve chronic pain, improve mobility, reduce stress and help the body release deep, long-held physical and emotional tension. No force is apply to create releases; instead, a gentle attunement into the subtle body let the tissue‘s natural response guide the treatment.
MASSAGE THERAPY
Hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues- including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Aiming to treat musculoskeletal conditions, manage chronic pain, and assist with injury rehabilitation. Also used to alleviate acute pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

Client Testimonials
“The ONLY time ANY practitioner has asked me about or considered the physical impact on me of labor-delivery of my two children (now ages 34 and 36). That has been totally removed from my recall when I’ve ever been asked for medical history. This was quite a profound question, considering I am now 73 yrs old”

She actively listens to what your concerns are and adjusts her approach accordingly. I remember feeling instantly comfortable with her and have drifted off during our sessions on more than one occasion (I normally don’t fall asleep during treatments).
