Facials rise to new heights – Rebalancing Mind, Body and Soul
To experience a facial with Su-Man is to move beyond what you may have experienced previously and enter sublime heights of balancing your chi – or energy. Su-Man’s background in dancing has evidently provided her with vast insight into the body, which she has elegantly applied to her facials allowing for a deep rebalancing taking place for your mind, body and emotional nature. Also gifted with experience of shiatsu, pilates, and oriental facials, a facial suddenly becomes a transformative experience where an opening of energy imbalances and distortions surfaces on all levels through Su-Man’s expert touch, and guidance imparted. If you have any skincare concerns that are troubling you, rest assured you will find your answer here, as I did. It is all a question of balance, I was told, as I discovered that despite my dry skin, I might be using too much moisturizer, too often, thus blocking the pores from receiving the nourishment I was applying. The blocked pores were quickly remedied with extractions, and I was relieved to know that there was a solution to the uneven bumpy skin surface I had been experiencing. The solution came within the facial, following such I was almost unrecognizable. My skin felt softer, younger, smoother, and truly sublime!
As I lay on the massage bed, I was treated to some very deep shoulder massages with heavenly scented oils. I was delighted to discuss my lifestyle, and be advised of a routine that would lift my physicality to a much healthier balanced mode of living. The key words that seemed repeated, and thus integrated deeply in my psyche were “Little and often is best” for exercise, to keep the energy flowing, and also the same applying to skincare. Su-Man wears little makeup, and on a daily basis avoids foundation, which she feels is simply to cover up the skin. If your skin were beautifully healthy and glowing, why would you wish to cover it up?
Su-Man uses her own blissfully scented product range for her facials. The scents are beautifully combined, and I particularly loved the cherry scented products. The textures of each product are exquisite and highly compatible for the skin with their gentle formulations, which are sourced from her native Taiwan.
The tension in my body, mind and emotions began to melt away quickly through the unique massage techniques, restoring my equilibrium. Tension in the body is a factor that causes lack of vitality and thus beauty for our face and body. Issues that are deeply buried rise to see the light of the day, thus healing of imbalances is profound.
The overall experience is one of a deep awakening that allows you to reconnect to your body and understand the true meaning of beauty, which is the glow from the uninterrupted flow of chi energy. Whatever you have suppressed within you may find its way to the surface, find its form once again either through tension relief and rebalancing, or words that flow from the long distant past where you finally remember where the tension originated, allowing even deeper transformative insights that allow for a deep release. My own insights surfaced from my childhood dream of becoming a professional ballerina, and as we talked, I finally understood that it was absolutely perfect that this did not fully manifest as a reality in my life. I was destined to become a writer and provide movement of words that dance on the page, enveloping the reader in my deep inner world of poetic writing and my deep desire to allow my experiences to open others and touch their lives. My words are alive, and dance myriad patterns across each page, weaving their sensory expression, so you feel you were there also.
