Did you know that the skin and nervous system begin as one organ in the embryo? I create my treatments based on the understanding that stress informs the health of our skin. Vena Cava's signature facials invite a state of deep healing and stillness and are the loving culmination of years of experience and advanced training in both somatic bodywork and esthetics. Your bespoke facial will integrate luxury, organic, holistic skincare with lymphatic drainage, Thai herbal poultices, myofascial release, and craniosacral therapy. Other tools include Celluma LED light therapy, facial cupping, and gua sha. If you book a longer, 90 minute session, you may want to start the session face-down so we can work out restrictions in the upper shoulders and back with massage, cupping, and gua sha.
Perhaps you have sensitive skin and have had adverse reactions to facials. Maybe you want to age well but don't know where to start and don't want to go the route of injections and fillers. Or, you don't yet have a skincare routine, but you are ready to make that more profound condition with your body through the simple joy of a skincare practice. Or you may be anxious and stressed out (who isn't these days?!) and need next-level self-care. When you are ready for a transcendent facial beyond the skin's surface, I am here for you!
When tension unwinds through myofascial release and lymphatic drainage, most people notice a visible reduction in pimples, blackheads, congestion, puffiness, sagging, and under-eye circles. Cheekbones, jawlines, and jowls are defined and lifted. Clients often find that headaches, jaw, and sinus pain are eased with regular facials by relieving pressure and constriction on the nerves and blood vessels. Facial massage has the added benefit of improving bone density while releasing and toning facial massages through specific techniques that lift, tone, and smooth the tissue of the face. Skin is brighter and softer, and so is your spirit.
