Renee Cassleman

 

#COS-FT-10128928
Owner of "MetaMoreFaces"
 

 Renee gives more than just facials, hence the name MetaMoreFaces, She offers deep detoxification and relaxation. Her goal is to bring to the surface all the debris and residue that has built up over time. It is possible to relax your mask and to open up to the possibilities that come your way.

Her journey began when she opened a residential treatment facility, five years ago, called Mel's Therapeutic Home for Young Girls, who suffer from both mental illness and cognitive impairment. She realized how much stress and tension was held in ones expression and started to learn from experience where people were holding on and how each person basically needed deep relaxation and physical release in the face neck and head regions. She worked with her clients on their stressors by using yoga, meditation, massage, aromatherapy, visualization, affirmations and detoxification through diet and cleansing, which led her to this part of her journey.

She knew that as an esthetician, she was able to work on the head, neck and face regions of the body, allowing her access to the most overworked and stressed areas of the body. As a result, she has had the pleasure to help others, feel good as well as relax and renew. She have helped people with skin concerns, headaches, TMJ, mental fog, mental blocks, depression and the human metamorphosis.

There are four stages of the human metamorphosis. Each stage is complex and often creates physical stressors and tension. She has created four individual services to help people cope and move forward during these challenging phases of life.
