Ritual for Restoration: A Spring Series of Facial Massage and Gua Sha

Philadelphia’s Award-Winning Holistic Esthetician and Healing Artist, Lynn Gallagher of LGHT Wellness presents "Ritual for Restoration", a series of ritualized facial-massage learning experiences in collaboration with Note to Self Wellness in Olde Kensington. With a decade of crafting her practice as a holistic facialist and multi-faceted healing artist, Lynn combines her expertise in holistic skincare, energy work, and a blend of eastern modalities to create this immersive series to guide you in rituals to restore your skin and spirit.

Ritual for Restoration is a four-part, stand-alone or packaged series to deepen your self-care practice utilizing skillful, mindful face massage and gua sha (a TCM treatment technique). Strengthen your relationship with your skin and rituals to restore a sense of relaxation. By immersing into this unique sensorial experience of self-massage and absorbing Lynn's decade of refined techniques, you will gain a profound connection with your skin by exploring how (facial) self-massage and gua sha impacts your blood, lymph, energetic systems, and connective tissue systems to improve your overall health.

Each 2 hour session is a mini-retreat for deep relaxation as Lynn leads you through gentle stretching and meditation. You will receive personalized care for your skin concerns while mastering proper techniques for facial massage modalities, specifically using gua sha boards to lift, tone, clarify, release tensions, impact the lymphatic system and feel radiant inside and out. This series is suggested as a package of 4 to immerse yourself and advance your skill and is appropriate for all levels. Tea, facial oil, mirrors and facial mist samples will be provided. Gua sha boards are available to purchase.
