Somatic Glow From Within: The Facial That Goes Nervous-System Deep
Let’s be real.
There are plenty of those boring facials in Calgary that clean your skin… and then there is THIS facial that changes your ENTIRE energy field.
If you’ve ever laid back in a facial before, hoping to relax but found your mind racing with to-do lists, jaw clenched like you’re still in that meeting with your annoying boss last week, then wondering why you feel the same after as you did before - then I am glad you found me!
This is not your average “steam and go” facial.
This is the kind of facial that makes you forget the entire world outside even exists.
The kind of treatment where you leave your job, your spouse & your kids, (and your overactive brain) at the door - and walk out feeling like the most relaxed and amazing version of yourself… inside and out.
Allow me to introduce you to your new obsession: The Somatic Glow From Within Facial in Calgary.
90 minutes of pure, intentional bliss.
Equal parts science, skincare, and soul-level reset.
Covered under most extended health benefit plans.
Only at Gelous Spa in SW Calgary - a zen den for women who want deep, meaningful results that aren’t just skin deep.
Because You Deserve More Than Just Another Surface Level Facial.
You deserve more than a facial that just leaves you shiny and clean.
You deserve to tackle the stress that’s been living in your body rent free all this time.
The tightness in your jaw?
The tension behind your eyes?
Your shoulders carrying the weight of it all?
Let’s be real - it’s not just about your skin either.
It’s about what’s underneath it.
The emotions. The stress. The unspoken responsibilities. The need to hold it all together for everyone.
That’s why this facial isn’t just skincare or just massage.
It’s somatic care.
It’s energetic.
It’s a facial for women who want results, and rest.
And the truth is, most of us are walking around in a constant state of fight-or-flight. When your nervous system is activated, your skin mirrors that stress: premature aging, dullness, tension, and inflammation.
Your face tells the story of your life - but what if it could also reflect your healing?
That’s exactly what this treatment helps you achieve.
What to Expect From Start to Finish
From the moment you arrive at Gelous Spa - nestled in the heart of SW Calgary with easy parking and a warm, welcoming energy - you're held.
You’ll be welcomed into a quiet, cozy Zen room where the lights are soft, the scent of essential oils calms your breath, and every inch of the experience has been designed to help your mind, body and soul let go.
I begin with intention. A moment to connect. You’ll be guided into relaxation with grounding breathwork and chakra balancing to align your energy field before the facial even begins.
Every product used is carefully chosen based on your skin, mood, and energetic state. Every step is an invitation for your body to remember what it’s like to feel safe again.
Clients often say: “It felt like time stopped.”
Because for 90 minutes - it does.
The Link Between Trauma, Facial Tension & Aging
Did you know your face holds memories?
Every expression, every forced smile or held back emotion can imprint into the muscles of your face. Over time, the effects show up as deep lines, jaw pain, tightness around the eyes, and even recurring breakouts or puffiness.
This is where somatic healing steps in. By working with your nervous system through massage, breath, and energy techniques, we’re not just softening the muscles - we’re helping your body release the emotional charge behind them.
That’s why women often cry during this facial. Or laugh. Or suddenly feel light.
Because the release is real. And it shows up not just in your skin - but in your mind, body AND soul.
A Look Inside the Healing Tools Used
Aromatherapy
Each session is enhanced with intentional scents that support nervous system regulation. Chosen for you!
Sound Bath Healing
The frequencies used are specifically chosen to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and clear energetic blockages. Think of it like a tune-up for your soul.
Vagus Nerve Massage
This gentle touch work helps to activate your body’s natural calming system, reducing inflammation and encouraging a deep state of safety. It’s like flipping your inner healing switch.
OxyGeneo
This next level technology. Think of OxyGeneo® as the triple-threat of facials - exfoliating, oxygenating, and infusing active ingredients all at once. It’s like giving your skin a workout, a deep breath, and a nutrient-packed smoothie in one go.
Unlike traditional microdermabrasion or peels that can feel harsh for some, OxyGeneo is gentle yet powerful, using patented technology to trigger your skin’s natural oxygenation process from within. This boosts circulation, encourages collagen production, and allows your skin to absorb the active ingredients more effectively.
It’s the perfect way to prep the skin for the deeper energetic and somatic work that follows. Because when your skin is fully oxygenated and nourished, your entire body responds better to healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really covered by insurance?
Yes! As this treatment mostly includes therapeutic massage and somatic techniques, many extended health plans cover it under massage therapy. You’ll receive a detailed receipt for submission or direct bill for most insurers.
What if I’ve never done a facial like this before?
Perfect. This isn’t a fluff+go facial. It’s a gentle but powerful experience that combines skincare with healing. Whether you’ve had dozens of facials or none at all, this will feel very different - in the best way.
Do I need to prepare anything before I come?
Just bring your lovely self. It helps to come hydrated and avoid wearing make up - so there is extra time for pampering!
Will I break out?
Most clients leave with skin that looks calm and glowing, but everyone’s skin is different. We always tailor the products and techniques to your unique skin needs.
How often should I come?
Think of this like therapy for your skin and your soul. Once a month is ideal for long-term results - but even one session will leave a mark on your nervous system for a while.
