CANCELLATION POLICY If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I require at least 24 hours notice from the time of your appointment. Please send a text message to 07305386311 or email marta@artemisiaholistics.com. If an appointment is missed or cancelled without 24 hours notice, the full amount of the treatment will be charged. If the appointment is rescheduled or cancelled with at least 24 hours notice from the time of the appointment, the deposit payment will transfer to the new appointment or be refunded using the same payment method. For late arrivals, I allow a 20-minute grace period, which time will be subtracted from your session. After 20 minutes, the appointment is considered missed/cancelled, and you will be charged the full amount of the treatment. Sometimes, things happen, and I appreciate that each situation is unique, but as a small business, cancellations and rescheduled appointments affect me significantly. Therefore, I ask that you give me as much notice as possible.
DISCLAIMER The physical results of a gua sha facial can differ from person to person, as they depend on factors like overall health, lifestyle, posture, and skincare habits. You will receive an email with personalised aftercare advice to help you maintain the benefits of facial massage. Understanding and incorporating holistic lifestyle changes can improve and maintain the benefits of the treatment for longer. Staying hydrated, eating well, and sticking to a regular skincare routine can significantly impact how your skin reacts to treatments. However, posture, facial expressions, and habits like frowning or clenching your jaw often can lead to tension and contribute to wrinkles over time. Therefore, individual results may vary, and I can't guarantee specific outcomes. Facial treatments are intended for relaxation and general wellness purposes only. They are no substitute for medical treatment, dermatological care, or professional healthcare advice. Please consult your doctor if you have any skin conditions, allergies, injuries, or medical concerns. Clients assume full responsibility for their health and well-being during and after the session.
The Gua Sha Facial
Where health and beauty meet
Ideal for anyone with skin lacking vitality, signs of ageing, back tension, and feeling stuck or lethargic.
Experience this unique holistic facial that treats the back, shoulders, neck, scalp, and face.
Firm scraping motions on the upper back muscles support blood flow and clear obstructions in the connective tissue. During this part of the protocol, red marks (called sha) might appear on your back. This is blood coming from the tissue bed, not bruising, and the marks usually fade away within 4 to 5 days. Gentle scraping motions on the face stimulate blood circulation, which enhances the delivery of essential nutrients to your skin cells and helps increase the absorption of skincare products.
Swedish massage's gentle and rhythmic movements contrast the more vigorous Gua sha technique, inducing profound relaxation, easing tension, and reducing stress levels. Indian head massage, from Ayurvedic practices, focuses on releasing tension and promoting balance in the head, neck, and shoulders, areas prone to tension and stress. This element of the treatment provides an indulgent and deeply relaxing experience.
Benefits include stress reduction and relaxation, stimulation of blood flow, helping bring fresh nutrients to the skin, scalp and hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth, and helping you feel revitalised.
The Ultimate Gua Sha Facial combines Ecology in Motion™ Facial Gua Sha, Swedish massage, and Indian head massage. It includes a gentle deep cleanse with a hot towel, and all organic skincare products are carefully chosen for your skin needs.
