A Sanctuary for the Over-Stimulated

Where Dermal Science Meets Nervous System Regulation.

Clinical skin recovery, somatic sculpting, and nervous system release held in one room.

The Rituals

Three levels of bespoke care.

A focused 60-minute reset, a full 90-minute immersion, or the advanced clinical layer once your skin barrier is strong enough.

Bespoke 60

£145 I 60 Mins

A precise, skin-led ritual for those who want visible results and targeted skin correction.

 

We begin with a short breathwork arrival to settle the nervous system, then move into clinical-grade formulations chosen specifically for what your skin is communicating that day. Congestion, inflammation, dehydration, barrier breakdown. Precise somatic handwork across the face, jaw, and neck with targeted TMJ release to clear surface tension and support the skin’s ability to absorb and repair.

 

You leave with skin that has genuinely been worked. Brighter, clearer, and more defined than when you walked in.

 

This is a skin-first session. If you are looking for deeper nervous system work and a full somatic experience, the Bespoke 90 or Signature Somatic Reset will serve you better.

Bespoke 90

£180 | 90 Minutes

This session follows no fixed protocol. Every element is read from what your body is holding that day and adapted accordingly.

 

We open with breathwork to drop the nervous system out of fight-or-flight, then move into a combination of clinical skin correction and somatic bodywork in whatever proportion your body needs that day. Some sessions call for deeper skin focus. Others call for extended somatic work across the jaw, TMJ, chest, shoulders, and brow. The session finds its own balance.

 

You leave having addressed both your skin and your nervous system. Not one at the expense of the other.

 

Most clients do not expect the exhale that comes from somewhere deeper than the lungs. The skin clears because the body has finally put something down.

Signature Somatic Reset

£250 | 90 Minutes

Some clients come for their skin. Others come because they cannot remember the last time their body felt quiet. The jaw that will not release. The sleep that does not restore. The shoulders that have been up around the ears for so long they have forgotten how to drop. The face that is holding everything the week has asked of you.

 

This session is built for all of it. It begins with the nervous system and works outward.

 

An extended breathwork arrival gives the body permission to put something down. The complete somatic protocol is then delivered across the chest, shoulders, jaw, TMJ, brow, and scalp. Nothing adapted out. Nothing shortened. Every session includes the full manual sequence from the base of the chest to the crown of the scalp. Lymphatic compression boots are available throughout the session to support the body’s natural drainage system and deepen the reset the hands have already begun.

 

You do not need to do anything. You simply receive.

In an initial QEEG brainwave assessment conducted in collaboration with applied neuroscientist Archie McAlpine of Archie McAlpine and Associates, a single session of this protocol recorded posterior alpha rising from 16.46% to 51.14%, a +21% improvement in frontal beta symmetry, and an observed shift in sleep-related markers, all measured using the Divergence Neuro QEEG platform. In plain terms: the brain moved measurably from a state of stress into a state of calm in just one session.

 

You will not need a study to tell you something shifted. You will feel it before you leave the room.

 

Limited to 4 sessions each week.

Advanced Bespoke

Structural tissue regeneration.

From £250 | 90 Minutes

Stressed, inflamed skin cannot heal under aggressive trauma. We only introduce this advanced tier once your skin barrier is fully resilient and your nervous system is prepared to support deep cellular renewal.

Reserved strictly for current clients, this session utilises microneedling or custom algae peels to target deep discolouration, scarring, and structural ageing. We flood the tissue with high-performance exosomes and concentrated serums, working in total harmony with your skin’s natural healing capacity.

Speak with me at your next appointment to discuss this tier.

The Pillars

Three principles behind every treatment.

Your skin cannot repair itself while your body is under chronic stress. These three pillars dictate how we read your skin, stop cellular inflammation, and reset your system.

Skin Barrier

We build a shield resilient enough to withstand high-cortisol travel, city pollution, and sleepless weeks. We treat for long-term health, not a temporary twenty-four-hour glow.

Nervous System First

The skin is a physical extension of your nervous system. By down-regulating stress signals and dropping your body out of fight-or-flight first, we halt inflammation at the cellular root.

Somatic Facial Therapy

No two treatments are repeated because no two days carry the same emotional load. We adapt our technique entirely to what your body is physically holding and communicating on the day.

In Their Words

Shifted skin,
settled nervous systems.

Corporate Recalibration

We bring the recovery to you.

Somatic facial therapy and nervous system workshops designed for high-pressure corporate teams. We teach your workforce practical, science-led techniques to release jaw constriction, lower cortisol, and instantly interrupt professional burnout.

The Residency

The missing piece of longevity.

Visiting specialist partnerships for luxury wellness retreats. We integrate our Somatic Face & Longevity Immersion into existing global programs, addressing the exact physical zone where deep mental and emotional stress is most visibly held.

Meet the Founder

One practitioner.
One person at a time.

My time spent navigating high-pressure corporate environments taught me exactly how sustained stress shows up in the face. I founded House of Kush-Kush to bridge the gap between advanced clinical skin protocols and somatic nervous system regulation. Every treatment is executed by me, personally. No team, no rotation, no script.

The Gift of Stillness

Ritual gift cards.

A considered gesture for someone holding too much. Valid across all somatic skin rituals in the studio.

Preparing & Recovering

Before & after the room.

Clear guidelines to protect your investment and optimise your skin’s response. Review the specifics for your treatment below.

Hydration: Drink water throughout the day. Stop caffeine at least 2 hours before your appointment.

Meals: Eat lightly 1 hour ahead so breathwork feels comfortable.

Arrival: Arrive 5 minutes early with a bare, freshly cleansed face (if possible).

Before: Pause active ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) for 5-7 days.

After & What to Expect:

Immediate Care: Do not wash your face or apply makeup/actives the evening after your ritual. Let the products rest overnight. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and heavy sweat for 24 hours. Apply SPF 50 daily.

Physical Reactions: Mild soreness in the jaw, temporary tenderness along the cheekbones, or slight swelling for 12 to 24 hours is normal after deep TMJ work. Minor surface breakouts can occur over the next 48 hours as stagnant fluid clears.

Systemic & Emotional Reactions: You may notice mild fatigue, increased urination, or an unexpected emotional release within 24 hours. Drink plenty of water to support your system.

Before: Pause retinoids, acids, and physical exfoliants for 5 to 7 days. Ensure there are no active, inflamed breakouts in the treatment area. Avoid sun exposure for 1 week prior.

After & What to Expect:

Immediate Care: Use barrier-repair creams only for 5 days. No actives, no makeup for 24 hours, and SPF 50 is strictly required. Avoid direct sun, heavy exercise, and saunas for 48 hours.

Physical Reactions: Expect mild to moderate redness similar to a sunburn for 12 to 24 hours, accompanied by tight, dry skin. Full skin regeneration occurs over 2 to 4 weeks.

Before: Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids for 5-7 days.

After & What to Expect:

Immediate Care: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and heavy sweat for 24 hours. Apply SPF 50 daily.

Physical Reactions: Temporary flushing or slight warmth in the skin for a few hours. Visible lifting and fluid reduction peak between 24 and 48 hours post-treatment.

Before: Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids for 5-7 days.

After & What to Expect:

Immediate Care: Use gentle, hydrating skincare only for 48 hours. Apply SPF 50 daily.

Physical Reactions: A prickling sensation when touching the skin is normal for the first 24 hours. Light flaking typically occurs between days 2 and 4. Do not peel or pick the skin. Fresh, renewed skin appears around day 7.

To protect your health and your skin, we cannot treat you if you have:

Active cold sores, viral skin infections, or open wounds on the face.

Oral surgery, tooth extractions, or dental implants within the last 15 days.

Facial injectable treatments (Botox, dermal fillers) in the last 15 days (or 3 weeks for deep masseter Botox).

Active fever, contagious illness, or unmanaged medical conditions.

Common Questions

Clear answers for your experience.

Traditional facials focus solely on the skin's surface. I treat the skin as part of an interconnected system. I combine advanced clinical protocols with somatic touch and breathwork to regulate your nervous system. You leave with a structural reset as well as visible skin results.

 

I begin signature rituals with guided breathwork and grounding. This down-regulates your nervous system, moving you from fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair. This state allows the facial tissue and skin to absorb treatment layers far more effectively.

Yes. I specialise in reactive skin and hyper-sensitive systems. Every ritual is entirely bespoke, and I conduct a thorough audit of your allergies before touching your skin.

 

Often, yes. Somatic touch and paced breath move stored tension out of the face and body, and emotional release frequently accompanies physical release. A quiet wave of processing in the 24 hours following your session is common, normal, and a sign that your system is clearing accumulated stress.

 

A single facial provides an immediate reset, but structural change, jaw tension relief, and skin longevity are built over time. To maintain cellular turnover and train the facial muscles to hold less stress, optimal results are achieved with a ritual every 4 to 6 weeks.

Scope of Practice

Somatic skin rituals, manual therapies, and breathwork are designed for nervous system regulation, skin health, and stress management. They do not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions, skin diseases, or psychological disorders.

Individual Results & Aftercare

Skin reactions, transient swelling, jaw tenderness, or emotional processing following a session are natural biological responses to deep manual work. Results vary based on individual lifestyle, health history, and strict compliance with published aftercare guidelines.

Health Consultation Form

All clients must complete a confidential health history form prior to treatment. Failure to disclose medical history, current medications, or recent cosmetic procedures releases the studio from liability for adverse reactions.
