Holistic Skin Rituals by Laurel
I am a Certified Massage Therapist and Holistic Facialist with trainings from Jem Academy, Skin Obsessed Holistic Esthetics, and a variety of holistic therapies and facial massage techniques.
My holistic skin treatments are massage based and blend together multiple modalities to bring your inner glow to the surface.
Gua Sha
Facial gua sha is a combination of traditional gua sha based in Chinese Medicine, connective tissue manipulation and lymphatic drainage massage. Smooth gem stone tools are stroked across the skin in a variety of techniques to encourage lymphatic flow, increase circulation and release muscle and fascia tension. Regular gua sha greatly improves the health of the skin and results in a more sculpted and radiant appearance.
Facial Cupping
Cupping has been shown to boost the circulation of oxygen-rich blood.
Stimulates your skin cells to secrete and produce collagen.
Facial cupping helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
