What is it?

scratch therapy

/skrætʃ ˈθer.ə.pi/ n.

  1. Light, rhythmic scratching and tracing across the scalp, back and arms, using a mix of soft tools and gentle nails — the kind of touch that can trigger the tingling sensation ASMR is known for.
  2. A way to ease the body out of fight-or-flight and into deep rest. No deep pressure, nothing assumed: every session starts with a conversation about what you love and what to avoid.

Plate I · The sensations

Where you’ll feel it

Every escape is built from the same gentle techniques. Longer escapes give each one more time — and add a few more.

Your visit

A quiet room, at your pace

The low-lit treatment room: a bed with a checked blanket, leaf shadows on the wall, an olive tree and a table of tools.

  1. Before

    A conversation first

    We talk through your comfort level — pressure, texture, areas you love and areas to avoid entirely. Everything is customised, nothing is assumed.

  2. During

    The session

    Lying comfortably in a low-lit, quiet room, you’ll feel slow, rhythmic scratching and tracing using a mix of soft tools and gentle nails — building the tingling, full-body calm ASMR is known for.

  3. After

    The settle

    Many clients drift into a meditative, half-asleep state by the end. We leave a few quiet minutes at the close of every session so you can settle before heading back out into the day.

Our story

“We started this because we couldn’t find it anywhere else.”

We came across scratch therapy the way a lot of people do — scrolling through TikTok late at night and landing on videos of back scratching. Watching them was enough to make us fall asleep on the spot.
