Meet Paula, Your Facialist
Paula, founder of Advanced Face, brings over 20 years of expertise in holistic, beauty, and therapeutic practices. Based on Auckland’s North Shore with her husband and their re-homed dog, Rufus, Paula’s dedication to wellness and creativity extends into her free time, where she enjoys painting, writing, hiking, and a side passion for confectionery and baking.
Paula’s wellness journey began in her teens with meditation and a natural gift for healing touch. Trained at AUT and the New Zealand College of Massage, she started as a Holistic and Beauty Therapist, later becoming one of Auckland’s first Corporate Massage Therapists in 2001. In 2009, she opened her first clinic, Integral Massage Therapy, in Albany, specialising in deeply relaxing, Lomi-Lomi inspired massage, as well as Therapeutic, Pregnancy, Sports, and Hot Stone Massage, with a focus on relieving headaches, migraines, and TMJ jaw pain. She has worked with students at the New Zealand College of Massage, and led workshops for Beauty and Massage Therapists.
In 2020, Paula was attuned as a Reiki Master, and established Attuned Self, offering in-person, distance Reiki and online community group meditations. Following a spine injury in 2023, she refined her massage therapy skills towards face massage, founding Advanced Face, specialising in holistic facial sculpting, TMJD relief, and deeply relaxing head massage.
Paula extends her healing philosophy worldwide through guided meditations and Reiki on a leading wellness app, practises daily Self-Reiki, and continues to love channeling Reiki with local clients.
