Introducing a new treatment with a difference
Ecology in motion - Facial Gua Sha
Have you ever wondered why traditional facials always begin with you lying on your back?
The truth is, the face and body are intricately connected, and what manifests on the face often reflects imbalances within the body. That’s where this unique treatment comes in—a blend of traditional Chinese medicine and modern techniques that goes far beyond a simple beauty treatment.
We begin by addressing your body’s energy flow, with a gentle massage on your back and shoulders. You’ll experience the deep, soothing warmth of a herb-filled body poultice as it’s rolled along your back, melting tension away. This ancient technique, combined with the use of a Chinese spoon, targets areas of stagnation and blockages, revealing "sha"—red marks that indicate the rise of heat to the surface, signalling inflammation within the body. These marks, which may last up to four days before disappearing, are a natural part of the healing process.
Once your body is in harmony, it’s time to turn our attention to your face. Using Gua Sha stones and deeply relaxing facial massage (along with my nourishing facial oil) will restore universal motion to the tissue, unlocking a radiant glow and rejuvenating your complexion and inner wellbeing. Prepare for a profound sense of relaxation that echoes throughout your entire body…
While you’ll notice immediate improvements after just one session, a course of treatments is recommended to achieve lasting results.
