How does a holistic facial work?
The Holistic Beauty Therapist uses gentle and precise manipulation on the connective tissue and muscles of the face, neck, shoulders and scalp. The connective tissue regains its elasticity and tension is released from the facial muscles, allowing them to lift up and out and leaving lines softened and wrinkles lessened.
