  • A focused facial ritual to restore what your skin is asking for.

    Rooted in Elemental Consultation, this Aveda facial begins by tuning into your current state—where you

    may be holding excess or feeling depleted across fire, water, earth, or air.

    Through an intuitive sensory journey of aroma and intentional touch, this treatment works to gently rebalance the skin and nervous system. Warmth softens, cool awakens, and breath anchors the experience.

    Cleansing, and deep hydration are layered with subtle hot and cold elements to support circulation and restore glow.

    A simple, effective return to balance—guided by nature, held with care. This pairs perfectly with the Nordic rest cycle.

    This offering is performed by a spa therapist.

  • A full-body exhale through the language of the elements.

    This immersive Aveda facial experience begins with grounding—feet warmed, breath slowed, and your elemental state gently explored. From there, your treatment is intuitively guided to bring balance where it is most needed.

    Depending on your daily element imbalance, the elemental rituals are woven into your facial:

    • Fire to activate and energize

    • Water to soothe and hydrate

    • Earth to ground and restore

    • Air to lift, open, and create space

    Aveda Botanical skincare, lymphatic techniques, and a deeply hydrating masque are paired with extended touch points, hand, arm, and scalp, to invite full-body stillness. Hot and cool therapies mirror our Nordic cycle, encouraging flow, release, and renewal.

    You leave feeling rebalanced, restored, and reconnected to yourself. Perfect pairing during an all-day Nordic cycle.
