Holistic Facials/skincare, Face Yoga/self care massage lessons, Facial Reflexology & Health coach in Aylsham, Norfolk
Hello, I’m Melissa Anderson, thank you for being here!
I grew up in the beautiful Shetland islands. In 2024 my family and I moved to Norfolk when my husband got a new job.
As I grow my client base in Norfolk I still travel “home” to Shetland to see my clients up there.
My background is in Health & Fitness, I worked in this industry for around 20 years. I also gained a Holistic health coach certificate as I have always believed in a whole person approach to wellness, addressing and supporting the mind, body and emotions.
I’ve always been passionate about taking care of myself by nourishing my body with good food, staying active, and as I’ve gotten older incorporating more relaxation and stress reducing practices. These have become essential for my mental health as much as my physical wellbeing. I’ve always believed that, where possible, prevention is better than cure.
I’ve really enjoyed my time in the fitness industry, and exercise is still important to me, but my true passion has always been in skin and facials. I loved going for facials myself and found them to be relaxing – yet often felt the massage element was far too short!
The feeling inspired me to create the kind of experience I always wished I could have. Fortunately, I discovered that the industry was changing since I’d first looked into this kind of career, and there was now more opportunity to train in Facial massage and other various holistic varieties of facials, and this opened up a world of new and exciting training opportunities.
It was while on maternity leave in 2019-2020 that all this started, I first got interested in Face Yoga and Gua Sha in a desperate attempt to keep me “fresh” while surviving a new life with twins! This quite quickly evolved into me being so curious I completed my FaceYoga teacher training, followed by Gua Sha courses, and it grew from there.
Over the years since I have trained in range of massage disciplines, including both traditional and adapted Gua Sha styles, Facial Cupping, Sculpting techniques and Buccal massage. I’ve also done Facial Reflexology courses; this allows me to support clients skin health and wellbeing on a deeper holistic level.
I continue to study and develop my knowledge in areas that will complement what I’m already trained in and will elevate my treatments.
From a skincare point of view, I practice Corneotherapy. This is a practice that focuses on repairing and maintaining the skin barrier. This over time improves the function of the skin, improving many skin conditions such as eczema, acne, rosacea, etc.
My goal is to help and support my clients to feel happy in their own skin and discover an inner confidence that allows the best version of themselves to shine through.
My goal is to help and support my clients to feel happy in their own skin and discover an inner confidence that allows the best version of themselves to shine through.
This is achieved through adding in Self-care lessons, for example Face yoga, Facial massage, Stretches and relaxation techniques that help you the individual to feel rejuvenated. These can be done in the comfort of your own home, from a distance too if you’re not local to me.
As well as the above I offer the following Holistic Facial treatments, mainly massage based, Gua Sha, Cupping, Sculpting and Buccal. I also practice Corneotherapy and offer Facial Reflexology.
In the treatment room every treatment I offer has a focus on the nervous system, activating your para sympathetic nervous system which allows your body to heal and regulate, promoting overall wellbeing and lowering stress levels.
The Holistic Facials I offer are more than just skin deep as they are beneficial to your mental health and overall wellbeing too. When you switch your nervous system into a parasympathtic state (known as "rest and digest") you allow for deep healing in the body where its required. It can help to manage stress and some mental health issues.
I also offer at home self-care tutorials and courses, so those of you that can't make it into the treatment room can establish a practice at home that will benefit you over time.
This is also good for treatment room clients as it will boost the results we can achieve when you come to see me.
I offer nutritional and supplement advice and general exercise and stretching routines as this is important too, it's all connected.
Nourishing your body and mind and keeping your moving body and flexible is key as well.
I hope to help people just feel happier in their own skin and body.
