Holistic facials, sculptural facial massage, and Ayurvedic skin health in Portland, Oregon.
There are different ways to care for your skin, and the right place to begin depends on what you're looking for.
At Marma, you can come for a deeply restorative facial, work more specifically with facial tension and definition, or take a broader look at your skin through the lens of Ayurveda. Each service is personalized to you, with thoughtful hands-on care, carefully chosen botanicals, and an understanding that skin is part of a much bigger picture.
Services at Marma
Services
New Client Facial
For a more complete picture of your skin and where to begin.
New to Marma? This is an opportunity to slow down, look at your skin more closely, and understand what may be contributing to what you're experiencing. Your appointment includes a thoughtful consultation, skin analysis, a customized facial, and personalized recommendations to guide your care at home.
Ideal if you're navigating ongoing skin concerns, feeling overwhelmed by products, or looking for a more thoughtful approach than another routine or quick fix.
Sculpting Buccal Facial
A natural approach to facial renewal and well-aging.
This specialized, non-invasive treatment combines sculptural facial massage, intraoral buccal massage, and manual lymphatic drainage to work with facial muscles, fascia, and superficial tissues. Paired with luxury botanical skincare, each treatment is tailored to support facial mobility, circulation, definition, and the release of accumulated tension.
As tension eases and circulation improves, the face can appear more lifted, rested, and refreshed. It's an approach to aging that works with your natural anatomy rather than against it, while offering space to slow down, unwind, and reconnect with a sense of ease.
A good fit if you're noticing facial tension, puffiness, changes in definition, or looking for a more natural, hands-on approach to well-aging.
Holistic Facial
For skin that needs thoughtful, personalized care.
A restorative, customized facial that supports your skin barrier, hydration, circulation, and overall skin health. Manual lymphatic drainage, intentional marma points, and botanical skincare are woven into the treatment according to what your skin needs that day.
A good place to begin if your skin feels depleted, congested, sensitive, or simply ready for more considered care.
Ayurvedic Consultations & Follow-Ups
For understanding your skin in the context of your whole health.
Ayurveda offers a different way to understand your skin, looking beyond surface symptoms to explore the role of digestion, sleep, stress, nourishment, and daily rhythms. Your initial consultation includes a personalized plan with practical recommendations for skincare, lifestyle, and seasonal routines. Follow-up sessions give us space to revisit what's working, address questions, and adjust your approach as your needs change.
Ideal if you're navigating persistent skin concerns, hormonal changes, or looking for a more connected, sustainable approach to skin health.
Getting a facial at Marma with Nicole is being cared for at the deepest level. This is a healer who understands care and nurturing that reaches into the heart of you. The ritual of the experience allowed me to rest and receive completely as Nicole went through a calming process of cleansing, nourishing and hydrating. My skin looks absolutely stunning after my visits, and me heart feels lifted. This is the best self-care you can give yourself.
B.L.A little about my approach
As a licensed holistic esthetician and Ayurvedic Practitioner, my work brings together holistic esthetics, Ayurvedic principles, sculptural facial massage, and nervous system-centered care.
My training includes holistic esthetics, NeoLifting® professional certification, Ayurvedic study and clinical experience in Kerala, India, and years of teaching yoga, meditation, and Yoga Nidra.
I approach each treatment with curiosity rather than a formula. I'm interested in how the skin, facial muscles, fascia, lymphatic system, and nervous system relate to one another—and in finding the right combination of hands-on techniques, botanical skincare, and practical guidance for the person in front of me.
The aim isn't to chase perfection or fight the natural process of aging. It's to support healthy skin, encourage ease and vitality, and make caring for yourself feel like something nourishing.
