Katherine Tonkinson

As an award-winning holistic therapist and skincare specialist with over 20 years of experience, I run busy clinics in London, Berkshire, and Cornwall. My journey began in September 2004 at Grayshott Spa in Surrey, followed by roles at Coworth Park Hotel in Sunningdale and Cliveden House and Spa in Taplow. I have since held key positions, including Head of Holistic Therapy at the prestigious Cardinal Clinic in Windsor and Training Director for renowned Swiss skincare brands Swiss Bellefontaine and La Vallée Spa.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working independently and alongside medical professionals, assisting a diverse clientele, from celebrities and VIPs to individuals seeking balance and relaxation. I am highly sought after for my innovative approach and commitment to excellence, having been awarded the BABTAC & CIBTAC Holistic Therapist 2019 and the BABTAC & CIBTAC Innovator 2017 awards.

My holistic approach integrates proven techniques from aromatherapy, reflexology, and various global massage modalities to address physical discomfort, manage stress and promote overall wellbeing, leaving clients feeling confident and rejuvenated.

As a skilled facialist I specialise in using medical-grade products to deliver exceptional skincare results. Each facial is tailored to your specific needs on the day of your visit, ensuring a personalised experience every time. I incorporate advanced techniques such as natural facelift massage, buccal massage, manual lymphatic drainage, collagen masks, chemical peels and LED therapy to rejuvenate and restore the skin's vitality. My goal is to provide visible improvements, promoting healthy, radiant skin while addressing concerns ranging from anti-aging to complexion clarity.

Whether you're looking to relieve stress, ease muscle tension, or indulge in a moment of self-care, my aim is to ensure you leave feeling relaxed, revitalised and empowered in your own body.

Whether you seek rejuvenation, hydration or relaxation, my facials provide a holistic approach to skincare, leaving your complexion radiant and revitalised.

The Revitalising Facial
The revitalising facial is designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. It begins with a double cleanse and gentle exfoliation to remove impurities and prepare the skin.

Next, a relaxing facial massage promotes circulation, followed by the application of a customised mask. While the mask works, you can enjoy a soothing scalp, foot, or hand massage.

The facial concludes with the application of serum, moisturiser, eye cream and SPF, leaving your skin glowing, protected, and beautifully refreshed.

Discover the advanced rejuvenating effects of Buccal Massage. This unique treatment combines therapeutic techniques to relax and sculpt the face, beginning with a double cleanse and gentle exfoliation to purify the skin.

It includes both external facial massage and specialised intraoral massage techniques which gently manipulate the facial muscles to release tension and enhance the contour of the face. This dual approach helps reduce fine lines, improve muscle tone and stimulate lymphatic drainage.

A collagen mask is then applied to deeply hydrate and revitalize your skin. While the mask works you can enjoy a soothing scalp, foot, or hand massage.

The facial concludes with the application of serum, moisturiser, eye cream and SPF, leaving your skin lifted, radiant and beautifully refreshed.

The Natural Lift & Glow Facial
Experience a deeply rejuvenating facial that enhances your natural beauty and promotes relaxation. The treatment begins with a thorough cleanse and exfoliation using hot towels to gently purify and prepare the skin.

Natural Facelift Massage techniques follow, stimulating circulation and lifting facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Next, the first of two masks is applied, a nourishing cream mask is massaged in using lymphatic drainage techniques to promote detoxification, followed by a collagen mask to deeply hydrate and revitalize your skin.

1 hour 50 minutes - £325.00

Chemical Peel
Revitalise your skin with a Chemical Peel treatment, designed to enhance skin texture and tone while promoting a radiant complexion. This treatment involves the application of a carefully formulated acid that lowers the pH of the skin, loosening the bonds between dead skin cells. This process encourages exfoliation, allowing superficial layers of dead skin to peel away and reveal a smoother, more luminous surface beneath. In addition to improving overall appearance, chemical peels can help thicken the epidermis, increase dermal volume and stimulate collagen production, promoting long-term skin health. Experience a rejuvenating treatment that has been valued since ancient times, when Cleopatra famously used sour milk for her skin. Discover the benefits of modern chemical peels to unveil a more radiant you.

ScarWork Massage
ScarWork is a gentle, non-invasive therapy focused on improving the health and appearance of both new and old scars. Concentrating on the underlying layers of the scar, this treatment stimulates the fascia and any adhesions formed, helping to mobilise and soften thicker tissue resulting from surgeries or accidents. Clients often notice that their scars feel softer, smoother and more pliable after each session.

Utilising specialised techniques, ScarWork adapts to treat a range of scars effectively. The massage progresses gently through the layers of tissue, from the surface of the skin to the deeper fascia and muscles, promoting optimal recovery at a pace tailored to each individual. This approach is rarely painful, and many clients experience incremental improvements with each visit.

ScarWork not only supports physical healing but also enhances emotional well-being by providing a calming environment, essential for the body to enter its "renew and repair" mode. It’s suitable for scars of any age, as your body continually renews cells, allowing even decades-old scar tissue to respond positively to treatment. Recommended by surgeons, this therapy alleviates tightness, reduces sensitivity and pain and improves mobility, making it an invaluable option for anyone looking to enhance their healing journey.
50 minutes - £145.00

Manual Lymphatic Massage
Experience the gentle benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage, a specialised therapy that stimulates lymph flow to enhance your body’s natural detoxification processes. This non-invasive technique uses light, rhythmic strokes to reduce swelling, remove toxins and promote overall wellness.

MLD is particularly effective for post-surgery recovery, chronic conditions and fluid retention. Enjoy a deeply relaxing experience that not only alleviates discomfort but also helps restore balance within the body, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and revitalised.
