Restful rhythms to steer by
In the midst of lives frequently structured around endless to do lists, it’s easy to rush or neglect skincare regimens. Yet small changes of routine can have a profoundly positive impact.
Focused on the sense of touch and its capacity to soothe mind and body, Vasara now offers face massage treatments by co-founder Vasa, to facilitate a relaxed, mindful state of being.
Drawing on detailed knowledge of the musculature of the face, scalp and neck, our treatments rest on three principles - touch, ground, renew - to release tension and cultivate a mutually nurturing dialogue between you and your skin.
Hearten Face Massage Sequence
Created to foster a sense of openness and calm, our Hearten face massage sequence focuses on engendering comfort, using slow, melting and sculpting movements to help diminish stress and bring body and mind into harmony. Attention is given initially to the head, face, neck and shoulders, and to the lymphatic system; with gentle stretches to effect a sense of equilibrium and connection. These manual techniques encourage a lightness, relax the face posture, enhances and refreshes facial definition and allow you to wind down and to relish the resulting quietude and calm.
