Facials and Chinese Face Reading Victoria BC
Using a variety of face reading techniques Carley detects how emotions are affecting the skin and face. Identifying the root cause of the skin’s issues can create space to heal internal disharmonies, creating an external glow of health and happiness.
Skin concerns including acne, dullness, loss of tone, hormonal issues, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and facial tension can be addressed through individualized treatments such as: Gua Sha, Facial Reflexology, Dien Chan, auriculotherapy (ear seeds), massage, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine modalities, lymphatic drainage, and natural skin care products. These treatments are designed with care to address each individuals’ specific needs.
By alleviating and dispersing stagnation through massage and Gua Sha, you increase the flow of blood, lymph, Qi, energy, and prana, nourishing the skin and clearing energetic pathways.
Treatments will allow the nervous system to calm and relax, allowing the body to re-harmonize. Bringing movement to the skin improves circulation, creating a glow from within. Skin will appear lifted, toned, and contoured. This treatment is designed to address all skin concerns from within by tapping into our bodies’ own healing mechanisms.
We will work together to create an at home ritual to extend the effects of treatments, and to empower you to take your own care into your hands. Creating your own ritual should be simple but feel luxurious and bring you joy. Feeling good in your skin and luxuriating in your rituals will boost Qi energy and bring out your natural beauty. Skin care products can be discussed and product recommendations can be made. Simplicity is paramount. Sometimes you can find the best thing for your skin in your fridge. Where appropriate, at home rituals can and may include pranayama, mudra, meditation and movement.
Face Reading is a traditional Chinese medicine technique used for thousands of years to determine the health and wellbeing of the mind, body, and spirit.
This lineage and branch of Chinese Medicine suggests that physical ailments stem from the emotions not being expressed in a balanced way, or from emotional traumas not being released. Each feature and marking of the face is a representation of the story of your life, from the time in the womb to the present moment. Through analysis of facial features and markings, Carley can help unravel past issues and patterns, validate personality traits, and assist in finding a harmonization of your emotions.
The Five Elements are also represented on the face and physical body. By exploring the Five Elements and determining your dominant element, you can connect back to your true nature, embracing your strengths and becoming aligned with your purpose. A Face Reading is a transformative experience that helps connect you to your true nature and authentic self.
Being seen as you really are provides the power and validation for your own transformation and self-acceptance.
