The human face is like a living imagination that becomes visible. It is a direct manifestation of an individual's essential being. ~ Johannes W. Rohen, M.D.

Gemstone Facials

These complete spa facials offer your senses a palate of fragrances and textures from Mother Earth—an antidote to "nature deficit disorder." They begin with an herbal/aromatherapy footbath, and include gemstone-charged compress water with Dead Sea salts. The facials continue with cleansing, herb-infused steam, and a customized clay mask; the treatment concludes with face, decollete and hand massage with moisturizing finishes.

How many of us are able to distinguish between odors of noon and midnight, or of winter and summer, or of a windy spell and a still one? If man is so generally less happy in the cities than in the country, it is because all these variations and nuances of smell and sound are less clearly marked and lost in the general monotony of gray walls and cement pavements. ~ Lin Yutang

Anne's Inspiration Facial

The healing and balancing energies of the earth's mineral kingdom are paired with the elevated vibrations of message and gem-charged water. The inherent subtle energies of the gemstone wands used in facial massage/lymph drainage restore calm and strengthen both the skin and the spirit. Dead Sea salts and clays from volcanic ash, sea bed and earth deeply cleanse, purify and replenish the skin's precious nutrients. Fragrant aromatherapy compresses encourage the breath, vitalize the skin and warm the spirit. Organic/biodynamic preparations are chosen according to your skin condition.
