I discovered the ancient art of Japanese Face Massage in 2005 during a trip to the Far East. It was the most deeply relaxing facial I had ever experienced, concentrating on stimulating blood flow to the skin through acupressure and deep facial massage to restore firmness, radiance and a natural glow to the face. There are several forms of this unique massage using various techniques, strokes and speed so I decided to find out more. I initially completed my anatomy and groundwork studies becoming a qualified Swedish Massage therapist in 2011 before going on to study the art of Japanese Face Massage enabling me to indulge my passion for the rejuvenating effect these ancient techniques can have on the skin and muscular structure of the face. A number of sessions on a regular basis can be particularly beneficial, as the muscles tighten and the appearance of the skin begins to improve becoming clearer and more radiant. The application of gentle pressure to the tsubos or pressure points along the facial meridians is said to stimulate and balance energy flow within the body thereby creating radiance within the face. After experiencing this deeply relaxing treatment, many clients report feeling as though they have had a full body massage such is the effect on the whole body of acupressure to the body's meridians, resulting a truly 'holistic' experience to be enjoyed by both men and women. After extensive research, I introduced facial beauty treatments, using a range of luxurious plant based products, rich in natural and organic ingredients infused with essential oils which are especially kind to the skin, cruelty free, friendly to the environment and based on renewable ingredients. The formulations have been created to work in harmony with the skin’s metabolism, with sensitivity to the needs of individual skin types and conditions. In 2020 I launched my own skincare brand
SK-INtuition to ensure that only the most beneficial, natural, pure and effective ingredients were included. My Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm and my Skin Boosting Facial Serum are both available to order on my website. I am currently working on a Moisturising Balm to complete 3 simple steps CLEANSE, TREAT, NOURISH. After completing further studies in London in 2012, I obtained a Diploma from the Instituto de Reflexologia, Barcelona gaining a deeper understanding of facial reflexology. Based on my knowledge and experience, I have now created a single luxurious 90 minute treatment combining a pampering SkinSense cosmetic facial with the deeply relaxing Japanese Face Massage bringing a new and holistic approach to health and beauty. I also offer Thai Yoga Massage, Swedish Massage (hands and hands free for a deeper treatment), Warm Bamboo Massage, Aroma Massage, Pregnancy Massage and bespoke massages to suit your individual preference.
