  • International Authority in Advanced Facial Massage & Education

  • Creator of the Signature Therapeutic & Corrective Facial Massage (TCFM)
    CIDESCO, ITEC, CIBTAC, and BABTAC Certified | 20+ Years in Esthetics, Facial Massage & Education

  • Growing up in Hong Kong, I was immersed in a culture that values precision, discipline, and the art of refined touch. My career began in world-renowned wellness institutions, where I learned to integrate meticulous technique with a deep understanding of facial structure. From there, I spent years traveling across Europe and Asia, studying under master practitioners and gathering methods that elevate facial massage into a true corrective art.

  • With over 20 years of experience, having touched 30,000+ faces and trained 5,000+ specialists worldwide, I developed my Signature Therapeutic & Corrective Facial Massage (TCFM). This method is the culmination of my global training—designed to sculpt, realign, and restore the face by working with deep muscular tension, circulation, and structural balance.

Q&A

Q&A with Katerina – Founder of Sublime Escape & Facial Massage School

You’ve traveled the world and trained in different countries. How does this influence your approach at Sublime Escape?

​

Growing up in Hong Kong and working across Europe and Asia, I’ve learned that true facial transformation comes from understanding the deeper layers of the face, not just surface treatments. I’ve gathered techniques from masters in different parts of the world and refined them into my Signature Therapeutic & Corrective Facial Massage (TCFM)—which is the foundation of what we offer at Sublime Escape today.

​

Are you currently accepting guests?

​

At this time, I am fully focused on mentoring my team, growing the business, and expanding my Facial Massage School. While I am no longer taking guests personally, my hand-selected, highly trained specialists provide the same level of expert care and technique that I have built my reputation on.

​

How do I know your team provides the same level of expertise?

​

I personally train and mentor every specialist at Sublime Escape in the exact techniques I have developed over my 20+ years of experience. My team does not just learn protocols—they understand how to assess facial structure, release deep tension, and create lasting change. This ensures that every guest receives a treatment that is both precise and results-driven.

​

What makes Sublime Escape different from other facial spas?

​

Sublime Escape is not just a spa—it’s a holistic wellness sanctuary where we go beyond traditional facials. We specialize in advanced facial massage, deep muscular release, and sculpting techniques that improve not only the skin but also facial structure, tension, and overall well-being. Our approach is rooted in science, skill, and decades of hands-on expertise.

​

I don’t see a long list of facials on your menu. Why is that?

​

Instead of offering generic facials, we believe in customization. Every face is unique, and instead of guests trying to guess what’s best for their skin, our specialists assess and tailor each session based on individual needs. This eliminates the guesswork and ensures each treatment is highly effective.

​

Do you offer memberships or packages?

​

Yes! Because consistency is key for facial transformation, we offer memberships and treatment packages to support long-term results. You can explore them online or ask about them after your session.

​

Do you teach your techniques to other professionals?

​

Absolutely! Through my Facial Massage School, I train estheticians and massage therapists in my Signature Buccal and Therapeutic & Corrective Facial Massage (TCFM) techniques. My goal is to help practitioners elevate their skills and build a thriving business through hands-on expertise.

​

How often should I come in for treatments?

​

For the best results, we recommend:

  • Phase 1 (Corrective Work): Every 2-3 weeks for 5-10 sessions to see significant changes.

  • Phase 2 (Maintenance): Once every 4 weeks to maintain and continue improvement.

  • If you wait over 5-6 weeks, results may start to reset, and we’ll need to rebuild progress.

​

What can I expect after a session?

 

After your treatment, you may feel:
✔ Deep relaxation as tension is released from your face, jaw, and neck.
✔ A sculpted, lifted appearance with more defined facial contours.
✔ Emotional release (our techniques work on deep facial muscles that hold stress).
✔ Increased circulation and a natural glow and truly so much more

Our specialists will also provide personalized home care recommendations to extend your results between sessions.
