Face Care

Service Description

This goes beyond simple massage, given my long time passion for faces (drawing them incessantly, studying them under Al Ferasa/Roya system, enhancing their unique beauty through make-up etc). Your face is a unique imprint of your whole life experience that I get to touch and understand. Along with me, you get new insights into the ways your life influences your features and you receive a personalized therapeutic session according to your most pressing needs. My focus during a session like this can shift between: -Lymphatic drainage – if you deal with swollen areas, if I notice stagnation patterns, if you have reccuring headaches or pains -Fascial mobility – restrictive motions in the fascial network impacts all bodily systems and restoring mobility in this collagen-based structure is essential for healthy tissues. -Muscle tension release – the way we talk, eat and use face gestures sets in motion some tension patterns that might unconsciously affect our wellbeing. Rigidity, restriction and tension show up differently from person to person, but I noticed we all feel bliss when these tensions are massaged away. -Scalp massage – Our head/scalp holds a lot of tension from frowning, bad posture and mechanical stress and is often ignored in regular massages. Restoring flow and mobility in this area helps with the overall health of the scalp and hair follicles. -Relaxation strokes – our nervous system responds well to gentle touch and caring strokes. Sometimes you might need a softer approach filled with slow, conscious caress, to help the tissues soften and the mind quiet down and restore an overall sense of safety and security. -Shaping techniques – encompassing neck, face and head, the shaping techniques come in hand when there is a specific feature you’d like to change, such as a double chin, fine wrinkles, dowager’s hump, uneven jawline etc. This is not a dermato-cosmetic session - I will use only my bare hands or a non-comedogenic pure plant oil (sweet almond, sesame seed etc), I might use a gua-sha, but not scrubs, masks, lotions etc. This is for you if: -You’re comfortable enough to let me touch your face -You’re able to relax and melt into the feeling of having your face and head cared for -You struggle with puffiness, asymmetry or flatness in face tissues -You have issues with snoring, teeth grinding, jaw clenching or bad posture -You want to understand how your lifestyle impacts and imprints on your face
