What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of holistic healing practised for over 5,000 years. Rooted in the
understanding that true wellbeing comes from balance, Ayurveda works to harmonise the body, mind
and energy through natural therapies, botanical ingredients and intentional touch.
Rather than treating the skin in isolation, Ayurvedic philosophy views the face as a reflection of internal
balance. When circulation flows freely and the nervous system softens, the skin naturally regains vitality and radiance. Incorporating Marma points and energy work, these really a total experience.

What are Marma points?

Marma points are subtle energy points located throughout the body and face. In Ayurvedic tradition,
they are considered powerful gateways where physical tissue and vital energy meet.
Gentle stimulation of these points through mindful touch is believed to:

– Encourage healthy circulation

– Support lymphatic flow

– Release stored tension

– Calm the nervous system

– Restore energetic balance

My Philosophy

Beneath the surface

I really care

Each facial I offer is designed to be more than a facial. Through intentional touch, sculpting massage
and restorative care, your skin is nurtured while your nervous system softens.
Each facial includes:

– Cleanse – Exfoliation

– Intricate massage

– Marma points focus

– Tailored finishing
skincare

From there, your treatment deepens depending on your chosen duration — whether you are seeking
radiant glow, tension release or full ritual immersion.

Healing Beyond Skin Deep

At Anura, every facial is more than a ritual for the skin — it’s a full-bodied experience of energetic
alignment and inner calm. I believe that true beauty and vitality emerge when the body, mind and
energy are in harmony.
Through intentional touch, marma-inspired techniques and flowing massage, I gently guide energy
across the face, neck, shoulders and upper body. This is more than a massage — it’s a subtle transfer of
energy, where care, attention and presence meet you. Each movement carries love and intention,
inviting your nervous system to soften, tension to melt and your body to remember its natural state of
inner calm.

Energy is shared

I harness the principle that energy is shared: when I am centred, grounded and mindful, my frequency
naturally supports your own energy field. From this state of deep relaxation, your body releases stored
tension, circulation improves and your skin reflects the harmony within.
With each facial I offer, you receive more than products and procedure — you experience a holistic
practice of care, where intention, energy and touch create profound healing from the inside out. The
result is not just radiant skin but a return to balance, calm and clarity that lingers long after the facial
ends.

What do the Clients say?

"I had the Ayurvedic Holistic Facial (75 mins) at Anura today. This wasn’t just a facial, this was an incredible experience! As soon as you enter Anura, you’re hit with the delicious smell and beautiful decor. The room where you have the facial is so peaceful. Gemma made me feel so comfortable. I felt instantly relaxed as soon as the treatment began, Gemma’s touch is amazing! It’s the perfect way to help you just be in the moment and unwind. I feel so much calmer in myself after it, the perfect reset.
Thanks Gemma!"

"I visited to have The Ayurvedic Holistic Facial. Gemma had created a warm and relaxing atmosphere. As well as a facial, there was massaging of my arms, hands plus legs from knee down. All with relaxing oils. This is not just a treatment it is an experience. I was invited to set an intention and let go of something to leave out of my life, whilst doing breath exercises. I cannot recommend this enough. I felt very relaxed my body felt heavy. If you do not live near it is worth the journey."

"This was a wonderful place to visit. The premises was calming and welcoming. With a lot of thought put into small details, like seating and it being a quiet space. Gemma immediately made me feel relaxed and the treatment room was like going to another world where there are no worries. I've never had a facial before but I'm sure this was more than just a facial as she massaged my back, arms and hands. The time went so quickly. My skin felt so soft and refreshed afterwards. I would totally
recommend this."
