SUPPORTIVE SKINCARE

“

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

Functional Facials

75 min | $175
The purpose of a functional facial is to meet the skin where it is at and gently nudge it into a place where it is getting its basic needs met so that it functions more optimally.

These needs are met by providing ample amounts of natural oils and water (lubrication and hydration), giving the body what it needs for good cellular communication (including metabolism, energy and elimination) as well as the building blocks for good structural integrity. Many skin dysfunctions are the direct result of deficiencies—either internally or on the surface. The Between You & The Moon products work in harmony with the natural processes of your skin to get those needs met in order to achieve equanimity. Our products aim to improve the functioning of your skin from the outside in, not just control, suppress, or cover-up a problem.

A Functional Facial includes:

  • Holistic consultation with analysis

  • Cleansing

  • Steaming with herbs (as appropriate)

  • Manual removal of debris (extractions, including milia as appropriate)

  • Customized, hand-blended treatment mask

  • Treatment massage to promote overall vitality (Facial Point Stimulation & Lymphatic Drainage)

Integrative Therapies

Integrative Therapies offers 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.

Integrative Therapies are included in Level 2 and Level 3 Functional Facials or they can be booked as stand-alone services {$175}. Series of 6 are available.

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.

  • Suitable for anyone who experiences symptoms related to the skin’s oil and water balance. This may include: Oily patches, enlarged pores, chapped skin, and dry (flakey) patches.

  • 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.

  • This therapy 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.

  • The Holistic Therapy for Reducing Redness and Reactivity can be helpful to anyone who wants to support the way their skin cells communicate. Clients with over-reactivity, such as inflammation, rosacea, a tendency towards hives and eczema have benefitted from this therapy.

  • 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.

  • 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

60 min | $175
Relax your nervous system and boost your lymph circulation in a heartbeat, resulting in a juicy glow inside out. 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.

Sacred Journey

60 min | $150
Journey outside the boundaries of your physical world-both inward and beyond the external world-within this deeply relaxing one-hour service.

Each individual journey begins with 5 minutes of breath work during a neck and shoulder massage and moves into a unique Facial Point Stimulation Protocol (similar to an acupressure massage) to entice the parasympathetic nervous system and align the mind with a more rhythmic brain state.

Precious stones and crystals are placed within chakra energy zones as you are bathed in sound with Elemental Balancing Bells (E.B.B.). You may choose to either bask in the bliss of melodic healing or be led through a guided meditation. Energy is then gathered and released as you come back, more balanced and in alignment with your true self.
