I offer two different facial massage sessions - the Gentle Lift Facial and the Facial Release Massage. Both of these sessions are rooted in gentle, mindful touch and a deep respect for the body’s natural rhythms.
These treatments are deliberately light on products and focus much more on releasing tension, in the tissues but also emotionally, by calming the nervous system and gently stimulating the vagus nerve. The aim is to encourage the body’s natural capacity for rest and repair.
Whether you’re drawn to the soothing stillness of the Gentle Lift Facial or the restorative depth of Facial Release Massage, each session is tailored to meet you where you are, inviting softness, balance and ease.
A gentle, hands-only treatment to soften and ease
A deeply calming, hands-only facial massage designed to soften tension and gently lift both skin and spirit. Using traditional Ayurvedic techniques, this treatment soothes the nervous system, easing you from stress into balance and calm.
Working with light, nurturing touch across the face, jaw, neck and head helps release held tension, support healthy circulation and lymph flow, and encourage your skin’s natural vitality—leaving you feeling refreshed, grounded and quietly radiant.
I begin with a gentle organic flower water to cleanse and prepare your skin, and finish with a delicate facial oil chosen to suit your needs. If you prefer, the session can be completely product-free. No tools are used for this session, just light, nurturing touch.
Why people love the Gentle Lift Facial:
At your first session, we’ll talk briefly about your reasons for booking in, so I can tailor the treatment to your needs.
You’ll then be lying down on a massage couch for the session, with a blanket for warmth and extra pillows for comfort.
The Gentle Lift Facial is a deeply soothing, hands-only treatment designed to soothe your nervous system and help you fully unwind. No tools are used, and a gentle flower water to cleanse and a delicate facial oil to nourish are optional. It’s an ideal session for sensitive skin and anyone needing some gentle, light touch relaxation.
The Facial Release Massage is a powerful, bespoke session rooted in anatomy, using tools like facial gua sha and cups to help release tension in the face, neck and head. Each session includes a small selection of gentle products, along with soothing hot towels, to cleanse and nourish your skin. Deeply relaxing and especially supportive for anyone who holds tension in the jaw, neck, head or face.
I choose products that are very gentle on the skin, are organic where possible, made in an eco-conscious way and with as few ingredients as possible. I buy locally where possible or at least products made more widely in the UK. The emphasis in my facial massage sessions is on the massage itself and not on the products.
In the Facial Release Massage, we have a double cleanse using a very light facial cleansing oil followed by an organic flower water/hydrolat, and a delicately scented facial oil to nourish the skin. In the Gentle Lift Facial I do not have to use any products at all if preferred, or I simply use an organic flower water/hydrolat to cleanse the skin at the start and a beautiful facial oil to hydrate the skin at the end.
If you love the massage part of a facial and prefer fewer products used, this is a great treatment for you!
If you can, wear a vest top for your session. This helps me to work easily around your neck and décolletage area. Otherwise a round neck top or t-shirt would be fine.
This is very individual and depends why you’re coming. Some people like to have a session every few weeks as a way to support regular relaxation. Others might need more frequent weekly or fortnightly sessions if they’re experiencing a particularly stressful or overwhelming time, or are hoping to see some changes in their face. We can discuss this at your first session. I have a special deal on a course of six sessions; you can find details of that on my Prices page.
