Session structure and timing
The Nervous System Reset Facial is booked as a 150-minute session that begins with a 30-minute intentional talk therapy consultation over a warm cup of tea. During that time we explore skin concerns, lifestyle, nutrition, and emotional stressors so the rest of the treatment can be paced to your needs and comfort.
After consultation the facial is fully customized and typically includes a deep double cleanse, steam, a tailored exfoliating mask, extractions where appropriate, and a soothing healing mask. Energetic bodywork—using intuitive touch, light pressure points, and grounding techniques—is woven into the treatment to help regulate the nervous system while skincare protocols proceed.
Customization and skin protocols
Customization is driven by the initial consultation and ongoing communication during the session. Product choices, mask strength, extraction timing and pressure are adjusted to your skin’s current condition and tolerance, with the goal of balancing effective care and client comfort rather than pursuing a single cosmetic outcome.
This treatment requires a 150-minute appointment and costs $300; those planning to fit it into a workday will find the Castro’s transit access convenient, with Market Street Muni service and evening timing suitable for after-work self-care. Allow extra time for arrival and reflection in the treatment room.
Nervous-system focused energetic bodywork
Energetic bodywork is integrated through intuitive touch, light pressure point work, and grounding techniques described during the consultation. These approaches are intended to create a calm staging for the facial itself; they are applied alongside the physical skincare steps rather than replacing them, maintaining a balance between skin protocols and nervous-system regulation.
Clients come seeking more than a typical glow—this session is aimed at those wanting to pause, breathe, and be held. The Castro District location makes it practical for after-work appointments, and nearby landmarks like Castro Theatre or Mission Dolores Park help guests plan timing before or after neighborhood activities.
