Treatments:

Add ons:

  • Gong Sound Healing This sound healing experience supports nervous system regulation, stress relief, and emotional balance by gently guiding you into a restorative, parasympathetic state.

  • Craniosacral therapy can be added to any treatment. This gentle, hands-on technique focuses on releasing tension in the body, particularly in the head, neck, and spine, to support the nervous system and promote deep relaxation. By using light touch, it helps to balance the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This therapy can reduce stress, improve overall wellbeing, and enhance the benefits of your treatment by encouraging a sense of calm and alignment throughout your body. *No additional fee when added to the Rejuvenate facial treatment.

    “My Holistic Facial with Amanda was so much more than any facial I’ve had before. Not only did she cleanse and treat my skin with the best products and led treatment but she also gave me a sound bath with singing bowls and tuning forks. She did lymphatic drainage and sent me home with great tips on how to do it myself. We’ve set up a program to really treat my acne scarring and texture and I can really feel the difference already. I leave feeling relaxed and renewed and she takes the extra time to create an environment that’s safe and loving!”

    “Today I received sound healing, honey tapping, intraoral massage, finished by the lymph drainage massage & more sound healing. I have been wanting to try intraoral for awhile due to my tight jaw. Amanda had the nicest and lightest touch while still feeling the massage. She made time to make me feel very relaxed before doing the actual intraoral. Her space was filled with great smells and subtle visual stimulations. I look forward to coming back for more sessions!”

    “I had the honor of meeting Amanda at esthetician trainings. She had a warming presence about her; Very nurturing and inviting. I experienced Amanda’s Sound bath facial. I knew I wanted to book a facial with her by how passionate she is about techniques.

    It was the most therapeutic/ result driven experience I have encountered as a licensed esthetician in a long time! I am so happy I met her. I will be making my four hour drives to see her a staple in my routine.”

    "I’m a high stress person who has a LOT of issues relaxing. I have such a hard time shutting my brain off. Amanda had me so relaxed I was a puddle of floating happiness. After we finished the sound healing and I was dressed again I started pouring sweat. Like needing to wipe my hands on my pants. The toxic energy that was moved through and out of my body was that noticeable. I had quite a full work day scheduled after my time with Amanda and I noticed that I never felt panicked or worried about during that day. I am looking forward to more sessions to continue healing my body."

    "Such an overall beautiful experience. From the moment I came in, everything felt very personalized. It was a facial experience I’ve never had before. Amanda is very intuitive and knew how to help me as her client. My skin felt amazing. I usually finish facials super red but my skin was in great condition. The soothing touch and flow was exactly what my nervous system needed. We finished our facial talking and sharing together and it felt so human to share that connection and not be rushed out of the door. I know Amanda will go very far! Thank you!"

    "I’ve now had two holistic facials with Amanda and I think the things that have stood out the most to me are her gentle approach and nurturing nature. I came to Amanda with inflamed skin and we have focused on really soothing the skin with lymphatic drainage, LED, and all around healing products. I’m happy to report that my skin has come a long way since our first facial about a month ago. On top of that, Amanda’s sound healing abilities always allow me to experience a state of deep relaxation and comfort in times of chaos. I was new to sound healing and it’s now become a must for me in our facials! Amanda truly cares about you and will cater the experience to you so it can be everything you need it to be. Can’t wait to be on her table again!" -

    “This was my very first facial ever and I feel like I hit the jackpot! Amanda was calm, patient and caring. She’s very knowledgeable and walked me through everything we’d be doing. She incorporates a lot of sculpting massage, including upper back, shoulders and chest, which felt wonderful and relaxing but also very much in alignment with a long term holistic approach to address my areas of concern. In addition to lots of other steps there was also honey tapping which I loved! And then I was lucky enough to be able to relax and integrate my treatment while receiving an incredible sound bath. I could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone and I will definitely be seeing her again!”

    “Wow, what an incredible experience. This was my first time working with Amanda. What a lovely and friendly gal. I immediately felt like I was in the best hands! I had a facial with sound healing, sculpting massage and the LED light. The sound healing was an absolute dream! I felt like I was transported to a different world. And her facial massage!! To die for! I never fall asleep during facials but I secretly think I mighta had a lil snooze!! She was incredible worth a try especially if you’ve only had med spa facials this is a whole new world of relaxation!! Her space is perfect to get you in the right headspace and feel safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to go back!”

    “I received my first treatment from Amanda, a lymphatic drain holistic facial and intra-oral massage with sound healing.... No other way to describe the experience than AMAZING! Her studio on Burnet Rd has an incredibly peaceful and inviting vibe. The sound healing guided me into a state where my body was completely at rest and separate from my head. All of the facial techniques Amanda used were so healing, and I felt completely open to everything she used. I have already scheduled my next service and 100% recommend Amanda and all of her services.”

    “Book yourself a service with Amanda!!! Do yourself a favor and get the intraoral massage. A little odd, I know, but I had crazy tension in my mouth and I didn't even realize it. Not only did I leave her feeling sooo relaxed - she literally made the stress melt off my face, neck, and shoulders - but my skin looks great! I haven't worn make up since my appointment! On top of the amazing services, she has THE BEST energy. As a mama in the thicccc of it, I needed someone to take care of me and she did!!! I cannot wait for my next treatment with her.”
