THE ANCESTRAL LIFTING FACIAL
Meet your senses with this unique treatment that goes back in time where ‘savoir-faire’ and dexterity come together.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
While hydrating yourself with our signature drink, you will tell Coralie your concerns and/or wishes. You will fill up our confidential form and for your own use, photos of your posture, mobility and face are taken to help identify your imbalances, understand how to fix them and track your results.
You will then lie down in a luxury French linen bed, getting ready to welcome a unique experience into your life. All your senses are stimulated for total immersion and deeper introspection: your taste with our herbal tea, your sight with our candle-lit or dimly lit room, your smell with our Botanical products and incenses, your hearing with our guided meditation or music to a vibratory rate and your touch with our treatment. Coralie will also help you to relax and breathe deeply before starting to work.
*Please note that the treatment is made from your upper body to head, scalp included, therefore I recommend you wash your hair after instead of before our appointment. Also, come without makeup to allow more treatment time.
**FACE SCULPTÉ Facial massages are safe and do not injure the skin or facial tissues.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
-
Fever Anytime you have a fever, whether from a cold, the flu or some other infection, you should not get a massage. Massage increases circulation which may, in turn, help the infection increase the severity of the fever and the infection.
-
Contagious Diseases/Herpes If you have an infectious disease you are putting your therapist and even your therapist’s other clients at risk of getting it. Please be considerate to your therapist and cancel your massage if you come down with a contagious condition.
-
Blood Clots Massage can loosen blood clots. This could be dangerous because the clot could migrate to the brain, lungs or heart. If you are aware of any blood clots, consult your doctor before the massage to ensure they will not be affected by massage therapy.
-
Heart disease or the presence of a pacemaker
-
Pregnancy
-
Kidney Conditions or Liver Conditions Massage can increase strain on both the liver and kidney if they are not functioning normally. This occurs because massage increases blood flow, increasing the movement of waste through the body. If you are experiencing a health problem with either your kidney or liver it is likely that massage will not be appropriate for you. Talk to a health care professional to see if massage will aggravate any kidney or liver condition.

Cancer Though massage is good at relieving some of the discomfort caused by cancer, it should only be given by someone trained to work with cancer patients. The patient should obtain a release form from his/her doctor to get treatment.
