soul skin
MAKE SOUL SPACE X THE SKIN SCULPTRESS
A half day retreat to fully exhale.
Let your nervous system settle, your body soften and your skin glow.
01.11.26 | 1pm - 4pm | Salt Studios, East Twickenham
Sound familiar?
Your jaw is clenched before you've even noticed. Your shoulders live somewhere up near your ears. You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't quite reach, and lately it's started to show on your face.
Soul skin is an afternoon to put all of that down. There's no experience needed and nothing to get right. You'll move a little, rest a lot, and be properly looked after from the moment you arrive.
It's a small group on purpose, so there's room to breathe and room to be seen.
Your afternoon includes:
Guided Qigong
Yin yoga and fascia release
Energy work
Immersive sound bath
Facial massage and skincare
Nourishing tea and time to connect
Leave feeling calmer, lighter, restored and glowing.
Outside in, inside out
What you carry inside shows up on the outside, and what you hold in your body lives deeper than skin. Katy and Bex both work with body and soul. They just start from different ends and meet you in the middle.
Katy starts with your nervous system, the part of you that decides whether it's safe to let go.
Through movement, energy and sound, she helps your body shift out of coping mode and into rest, and that ease shows up everywhere, your face included.
Guided Qigong
Slow, flowing movement to get energy moving and bring you back into your body.
Yin yoga and energy work
Long, supported holds to soften the body and settle the nervous system. Gentle hands-on Reiki while you rest in your yin poses, so your system can finally stand down.
Sound bath
Lie back, wrapped in sound, with nowhere to be.
Bex starts with touch. She works with fascia, the web of connective tissue where stress and emotion quietly get held.
Her work reaches far deeper than skin, so as your face and jaw soften, something inside tends to soften with it.
Fascia release and mobility
Bex will use fascia based Sarga silks, focusing on your hips and legs, using slow, supported pressure to help ease tension and create a sense of space in the body.
Facial massage and skincare
As you relax into your sound bath, Bex will finish with gentle work on your face and jaw, giving you a moment to soften and settle.
How the afternoon unfolds
Your hosts
Katy
Make Soul Space
Katy spent over a decade in corporate marketing until burnout and a back injury stopped her in her tracks. Qigong and somatic work helped her find her way back into her body. Now she offers trauma-informed Reiki, Qigong, breathwork and somatic release, and leads the studio at Salt. Reiki runs in the family: her grandmother was a Reiki master.
Bex
The Skin Sculptress
Bex is the founder of The Skin Sculptress, working between Richmond and Broadstairs. Her holistic facial and body treatments go beneath the surface, using fascia release, buccal sculpting, lymphatic work and jaw release massage to release the tension our faces and bodies quietly carry. Her work is as much about how you feel as how you look, and she brings real care and intuition to every treatment.

Yes, gently. Everyone receives one to one Reiki from Katy, body fascia release from Bex, and a facial massage during the sound bath. We'll always check in first, and you can say no to anything at any point.
