OUR ETHOS

OUR ETHOS

At Soma + Skin, we believe that true beauty begins beneath the surface – within the nervous system, the body, and the emotions that shape our day-to-day experience. Our somatic facial massage practice is rooted in the deep connection between skin, soul, and self-awareness.

We specialise in tension release, nervous system regulation, and emotional wellbeing, using gentle, intuitive touch to guide the body toward safety, softness, and serenity. Our approach combines holistic skincare with somatic therapy, creating space for realignment and reconnection – inside and out.

Every session is a journey toward grounding, glow, and graceful aging, using only vegan, cruelty-free, and consciously chosen products that nourish the skin while honouring the planet.

More than a facial, this is an invitation to slow down, drop in, and experience what happens when care is given from the inside out. At Soma + Skin, skincare is self-care – and self-care is a return to wholeness.

TREATMENT

TREATMENT

Every facial at Soma + Skin begins with a gentle conversation—a space to pause, to listen, and to be heard. We take time to understand not just your skin, but your state of being: what you're holding, where you're tense, and what you truly need in the moment.

From there, we create a bespoke treatment – a blend of therapeutic touch, ancestral techniques, and somatic presence.

Rooted in tradition and guided by intuition, your session may include lymphatic drainage, Eastern European sculpting massage, somatic head massage, and focused breathwork. These rhythmic techniques ease facial tension, soften the jaw, and help soothe the nervous system into deep rest.

For those carrying deep jaw tension or emotional holding in the face, intraoral massage (performed with gloved hands inside the mouth) offers profound release – melting tension at its root and softening expression from within.

This is more than a facial. It’s a co-created ritual of care – for skin, fascia, breath, and being – designed to restore balance and reconnect you with yourself.

At Soma + Skin, you book time, not a specific treatment. We begin with a separate consultation (not part of your treatment time) to explore how you're feeling – physically, emotionally, and energetically – so that your session can unfold in response to what you need most.

THE GARDEN STUDIO

Tucked away in the heart of Sussex, our garden studio is a haven of stillness – a space where time slows and the outside world melts away. 

This is a space designed for rest, release, and reconnection – a cocoon for nervous system healing, emotional softening, and renewal.
