New to the list of offerings at Annabelle’s Ouranos Wellbeing Spa is a facial treatment known as ‘The Method’. Developed by London-based celebrity facialist Anastasia Achilleos, this facial is so much more than a facial—it is a holistic approach to wellness and beautification for both men and women. During the ninety-minute session, you will rest face-up on a soothing matt filled with warm water; your therapist will tuck your hands under the matt for added comfort. Soothing music creates a meditative atmosphere. The facial begins not with the face, but with the feet—they are softly rubbed as the legs are gently shaken, setting up your body for the rest of the treatment. Next comes a deep muscle release of the back, neck, shoulders, and arms. The goal is to align the central nervous system and release tension in connective tissues, yielding a relaxed and youthful feeling and appearance. Turning to the face, the therapist prepares a combination of organic plant extracts and essential oils to treat your specific needs. Therapeutic techniques such as extraction, masking, lifting and sculpting, and lymphatic drainage are employed. The entire face is attended to, leading to reduction in eye fatigue, relief of sinus pressure, relaxation of the jaw, and rejuvenation of the skin. Our therapist has been trained by Anastasia herself to perform the techniques she perfected over 20 years of practice. Try it and you’ll see why she has developed a devoted following among film actors and other celebrities.
