“The more I learn, experience and observe, the more I see the connection between mind, body and soul, working holistically just makes sense”
“From the very start I knew that hands-on treatments had benefits beyond the results of the treamtents themselves. I realised the importance of therapeutic touch for peoples well-being” – Melanie
In the busy switched on world we live in, its absolutely vital to our wellbeing for us to take time to relax and allow our nervous system to calm. I believe we will never truly achieve lasting change or results while our systems are on high alert. That is why relaxation is at the forefront of the facials I offer. We all need some quiet time to reset and a relaxing, restorative, nurturing facial is an excellent way to do that.
