Thank you so much for your kind words Laura. I’m so glad you enjoyed the Seasonal Ritual. I hope to welcome you back for another Pause whenever you’re next in Byron ✨

My facial with Marine was incredible.  Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The absolute best facial I've ever had! Thanks so much, Marine <3

I had the Japanese face massage, it was an amazing and relaxing experience.
Marine is so lovely and knowledgeable in skincare.
Highly recommend!!

Absolute moment of bliss, cannot recommend Marine’s facials enough! Will be back soon!

Excellent facial sculpting the best experience ever.

This ancestral technique works deeply on the facial muscles to release tension, improve circulation, and stimulate collagen and elastin production. It also supports lymphatic drainage, helping to flush out toxins and reduce puffiness.
A harmonious blend of energising and delicate movements, Kobido induces a profound state of relaxation. Signs of fatigue fade, facial contours are redefined, and the skin glows with vitality.
More than a facial, it’s a sensory ritual that awakens ‘ki’—the body’s vital energy—by stimulating acupressure points linked to internal organs. It soothes the nervous system, lifts the mood, and leaves you feeling both radiant and restored.

For best results, we recommend a series of treatments every two weeks for 8 weeks, followed by monthly sessions to maintain the benefits.


Kobido Face Massage ~ Sculpting, energising, Qi-balancing

Face Massages

This is a slow, intuitive ritual designed to meet you where you are—physically, emotionally, energetically. Rooted in cyclical wisdom, your treatment is tailored to your current hormonal or life phase: menstruation, ovulation, postpartum, menopause, or beyond.

Each session is unique, blending natural, effective skincare with massage techniques to support your skin and system. Depending on your inner season, I may weave in:

• Sculpting massage to uplift and boost radiance
• Gentle lymphatic drainage to de-puff and detoxify
• Optional buccal massage to release jaw tension
• A replenishing mask
• Tools like gua sha, cups, ridoki, or quartz mushrooms

Your décolletage, shoulders, neck, arms, and scalp are lovingly treated, inviting deep rest and nervous system balance.

You’ll leave glowing, grounded, and gently transformed.

Before your session: A personalised form will be sent to guide your treatment according to your cycle or hormonal phase.

The Seasonal Ritual

Facials

Buccal massage is an advanced facial technique that works from both inside and outside the mouth to release deep tension in the jaw and facial muscles. By gently massaging the inner cheeks with gloved hands, it helps improve circulation, reduce puffiness, relieve jaw tightness, and sculpt the face naturally.

Buccal massage

A game changer when it comes to reducing redness and evening out skin tone, this soothing, strengthening and refining mask is a perfect skin pick-me-up. A wonderful mineral rich drink from the outside-in.
