/hō′lē b ei/ -- n. an expression of holy being

We honor the body as holy by trusting in its innate intelligence to heal and create beautiful skin on its own.

When we honor the physical body as well as the emotional and mental states of being human as holy, then we can truly be integrated.

—Marie Emma Graves, The Brooklyn Herborium

    Integrative Therapies focus on moving the skin from a place of dysfunction to a place of function. Integrative Therapies offer a service pinpointed towards a specific need to either break a dysfunctional feedback loop and turn it around, elicit an immune response to clean up tertiary conditions, or to provide ongoing support to improve the skin’s resiliency and vitality.

    Our offerings include services that are indicated for conditions that involve topical congestion, dehydration, irritation, redness, reactivity, vascular stagnation, glandular stagnation, the microbiome, structural integrity, damaged skin, scars, wrinkles, dry patches, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma, fine lines, elasticity, etc. If you're not sure which therapy would best benefit you, please reach out via phone or email to ask any questions you may have.

    Integrative Therapies are included in Level 2 and Level 3 Functional Facials or can be booked as a stand-alone service {$169}. Series of 6 are available.

    1. Integrative Therapy for Barrier Repair is helpful for those who experience symptoms related to the skin’s natural barrier and its oil and water balance. Barrier repair is highly recommended if you get any type of dermatitis or have a mottled texture just below the surface of the skin and should be considered in cases of oily patches, enlarged pores, chapped skin, and dry (flakey) patches.

    2. Integrative Therapy for Biome Rehabilitation is appropriate for anyone who is experiencing symptoms related to biome integrity. Symptoms include pimples with pus, uneven textured areas, and large, inflamed, painful welts that tend towards infections. Got Acne? Support the Biome.

    3. Integrative Therapy for Congestion and Dehydration softens hardened debris in the skin and is especially useful for those who experience tight areas, “dino skin,” blackheads, or fine lines and are looking for buoyancy and freshness in their skin. Alone, it relieves dehydration and prepares the skin to receive extractions at a future time. When added to a Functional Facial, it allows heavily congested skin to experience a deep pore cleanse.

    4. Integrative Therapy to Reduce Redness and Reactivity is for clients of all ages who want to improve the appearance skin that has been afflicted with past conditions that may have resulted in hyper-pigmentation, red spots, uneven skin texture, and scars. This therapy is only suitable for when the skin is functioning optimally—we do not perform this treatment if the skin is currently experiencing an immune response.

    5. The Integrative Therapy for Damaged Skin is helpful for those who want to improve the appearance of skin that has been afflicted with past conditions that may have resulted in hyper-pigmentation, red spots, distended capillaries, uneven skin texture, and scars. This therapy is only suitable for when the skin is functioning optimally—we do not perform this treatment if the skin is currently experiencing an immune response.


    6. Integrative Therapy to Maintain Radiance at Every Age is for clients of all ages who want to maintain their radiance while improving the appearance of past conditions that may have resulted in loss of elasticity, dark spots, hyper-pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. This therapy is suitable for anyone, though most beneficial when the skin is functioning optimally.

    Body-Mind Alignment addresses the nervous system with facial massage, sound therapy, and energy work.

    When your body and mind are in alignment, you are able to tune into the energetic hum of the universe. In this state of alignment, you release your mind’s grip on the physical world, allowing the flow of energy to pass around and through you, finding specifically the areas where you need a tune-up and delivering them instantaneous healing love and a subtle body pep talk.

    The deeply satisfying and relaxing process of Body-Mind Alignment is a gentle Facial Point Stimulation massage that activates the body’s parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest) as it guides your brain to find deeper rhythms that lead to Theta (conscious visualization) through Delta (a subconscious state where spontaneous healing is known to occur) states, creating an unhindered bridge between your physical being and your mind.

    While you contentedly relax in this state, we stimulate specific points (similar to reflexology) to give a gentle, energetic nudge to each of your body systems.

    All of this is punctuated with Grounding Energy (similar to reiki), mantras, abundant use of incredible crystals, and sound healing with our Elemental Balancing Bells. You will also get very specific self-care recommendations to help you grow out of your current concerns and conditions.

    Though all of our services contain elements of Body-Mind Alignment, the stand-alone service is a unique experience in self-love and self-care. Body-Mind Alignment can be added to a Level I Functional Facial to make it a Level II Functional Facial or added to a Level II Functional Facial to make it a Level III Functional Facial.
