Signature Treatments at Unfiltered Beauty
Neck & Jaw Relief
50 min- $160
A focused treatment designed to release tension where it commonly accumulates—through the neck, jaw, and surrounding facial muscles. The session begins with therapeutic neck work to soften muscular tightness and support healthy lymphatic flow. Because the fascia connects the neck, shoulders, and face, easing restriction here helps relieve pressure that can contribute to jaw tension.
The treatment continues with targeted facial massage, followed by gentle intra-oral pressure points and buccal techniques inside the mouth to access deeper muscles that cannot be reached externally. These techniques help release jaw clenching, improve circulation, and restore mobility to the facial muscles.
Ideal for clients experiencing jaw tightness, facial tension, or those seeking quick, focused relief and relaxation.
Facial and Massage Combo
90 minutes - $225
A rejuvenating 90-minute experience combining a 30-minute back massage with a customized 60-minute facial, enhanced with extended massage techniques for deeper relaxation.
Prenatal option available—please note at booking.

Reviews
I recently had my first ever facial with Lorena.
It was and incredible experience. She was curious about my skin regiment and how I respond to products. As someone with sensitive skin and who has had very little experience in the facial world this made me relax and drop into the care. I really appreciated how she told me what she was doing and what products she used and their benefits. I also fell asleep and snored soooo it was clearly a deep and rejuvenating session. I'm an active birth doula who rarely gets to focus on myself so l'm grateful for the opportunity to reset.
Thank you Lorena! If your pregnant or not this is who to see for your prenatal massage and skin care

Lorena gave me a TMJ massage/Facial and it literally de puffed my face! I struggle with PCOS so l've always had a round/fuller look to me and after the session, my face not only was glowing but looked slimmer.
During our session, Lorena also was saying affirmations that resonated with me. She encourages me to give myself love and take care of me. So grateful for you Lorena
Dina
Husband just called me and said it was one of the best, if not the best massage he’s ever had. You’re so amazing! He said you were so intuitive and that is so special. I agree!
Laila O
Lorena has been working on me for the last 15 + years. She is absolutely amazing and strong! The only downside to her massages is when it's over.
Favorite massage therapist ever!
Cynthia
Lorena's prenatal massages have been a fantastic addition to my pregnancy. Lorena has a magical touch, a calming presence and is very professional. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs to de-stress and rejuvenate!

Lorena is an amazing practitioner! She kept me comfortable throughout my pregnancy with her pre natal massages, which was a feat considering how miserable I usually was! On top of that I truly trust her with my skin. I went in for a facial and she took the time to educate me on what she was using, why and what I truly needed instead of using the opportunity to upsell me on products. Love her and will never stop recommending her!
