-
Hey, are you comfortable?
-
Let me adjust the blanket
so you won't be cold.
-
There.
-
So today we have planned
the special facial
-
combined with immersive
guided meditations, that's it?
-
Good.
-
This is going to be a wonderfully
relaxing experience.
-
Shall we begin?
-
First I'm going to remove your makeup
-
before moving on to a deep cleanse.
-
And here we go...
-
Gently.
-
And now I will ask you
to close your eyes if you'd like,
-
and picture yourself walking
in a beautiful town,
-
on a cobbled street,
-
while listening to the horses' steps
-
and carriages around you.
-
You take a glimpse at elegant ladies
and gentlemen in their fancy outfits
-
greeting each other while heading
to a botanic park
-
or a cosy tea room.
-
Walking along the bow windows
of beautiful shops full of wonders
-
you stop off at a small shop
-
where you can enjoy a haircut and treatment
-
in a very soothing atmosphere...
-
So, this time I'm going to start at the back
-
and work my way to the front, alright?
-
Lovely.
-
So let's take a first strand...
-
And here we go.
-
Alright, another strand.
-
The length seems good to me.
-
It will be just fine for the hairstyle.
-
Good.
-
Now here...
-
Perfect.
-
Alright.
-
Now the left side.
-
Good.
-
On the right.
-
Let's keep going.
-
Alright.
-
Good.
-
And now, let's end on the front,
-
please allow me.
-
And here...
-
Good.
-
Lovely.
-
Just let me check the length.
-
Good.
-
Perfect.
-
Now time to start the waves.
-
So let's start with a first strand.
-
On this side.
-
Alright,
-
it looks hot enough.
-
Good.
-
Very good.
-
Now let me arrange it with a pin.
-
Here we go.
-
Good.
-
Now, second strand.
-
Very good.
-
And, a pin...
-
Good,
-
let's keep going.
-
Alright, for this one,
-
I'm going to slightly tease the hair,
-
for more volume.
-
Good.
-
Alright,
-
and now time for the last waves
-
just above the forehead
-
and we want these to be slightly tighter
-
than the others
-
so I'm going to use smaller tongs.
-
Alright? Lovely.
-
So, here we go.
-
You don't feel the heat?
-
Good.
-
Right.
-
And, last one...
-
And I'm done removing the makeup...
-
How does it feel?
-
Yes, it's like a fresh new start.
-
Now let's do a deep cleanse of your face
using a foam lotion.
-
It might be a bit surprising to start with
-
but it is a very pleasant feeling.
-
Ready?
-
And now, you're going to go back
further in time.
-
To the end of the 14th century.
-
It was an era of chivalry
and courageous deeds on battlefields.
-
Many knights have fought bravely
in this time
-
and you were one of them.
-
But every hero deserves some rest
and time to heal their wounds.
-
Imagine yourself in a camp,
-
in a quiet, warm, tent, after a harsh battle.
-
You can hear some gentle rain on the canvas
and, in the distance,
-
horses neighing and the voices of men
comforting each other.
-
A brazier gently burns at your side,
and you feel safe and protected.
-
Now allow me to assess your wounds.
-
It appears you have endured some hard times
-
but fortunately it does not seem so bad.
-
The healer won't be able to see you tonight.
-
She's tending to a lof of...
-
complicated wounds.
-
But she left me some remedies
-
and I've been trained to heal basic injuries
-
so I'll get you back on your feet.
-
Let me look at you.
-
Your neck.
-
This side...
-
Show me your arms please.
-
The other.
-
The shoulders...
-
No pain here?
-
Same? Good.
-
Any pain on the legs?
-
Nothing?
-
Good.
-
Let me see your head
-
and the back of your neck.
-
It is quite a vulnerable spot as well.
-
No, nothing here.
-
I see...
-
There's something here but it can wait a bit.
-
Quite obviously, your biggest wound
-
is this burn on your arm.
-
Our ennemy loves using fire
-
to try to scare us.
-
They fear our blades.
-
Cowards.
-
The healer left me some St John's wort ointment
-
which should be just what you need.
-
Wait a minute.
-
That would be the ointment and...
-
(unintelligible whispers)
-
That's enough.
-
I'll see about these later.
-
There, give me your arm.
-
Don't worry, it won't hurt at all.
-
You should feel instantly relieved
-
from the burning sensation.
-
I shall be very gentle, no pressure at all.
-
There.
-
Was this your first battle?
-
Well, you were impressive.
-
Very impressive indeed.
-
I believe this will not escape notice.
-
You saved the King's nephew
-
by risking your life,
-
which is quite an accomplishment.
-
Does it hurt?
-
Now I will bandage your arm
-
in order to prevent any friction
-
caused by your clothing or armour.
-
Now this is the delicate part.
-
It must be tight enough to stay in place
-
but not too tight or else you may loose
-
some sensation in your hand.
-
And this is not something we want right now.
-
How are you feeling?
-
Hungry?
-
Brenna?
-
Yes my lady?
-
Can you find us some warm food somewhere?
-
I'll go to the cook's tent,
-
I believe I saw some men
-
with some steaming bowls
-
a few minutes ago.
-
Thank you.
-
Another one.
-
The rain is starting again.
-
There.
-
I'm almost done removing what's left.
-
And there you are.
-
Now your face is ready for
a white clay mask.
-
This will purify, soften
and stimulate your skin.
-
Just let me prepare it.
-
It shouldn't be cold.
-
Let's start applying it...
-
Here.
-
Are you ready to travel in time again?
-
What about a Victorian fantasy?
-
Imagine some magnificent and roaring engines
-
flying high in the sky.
-
Brass and copper are sparkling
in the sun rays
-
or under the flame of whimsical lights.
-
You're longing to join
these heights above.
-
But for now, you're trying
to find your way
-
through busy streets
and clouds of steam,
-
listening to the rythm
of the town's huge clock.
-
You finally make it to an appointment
-
that will open the door
to many adventures...
-
As I said a couple of years ago
-
you often work with very noisy machines
-
so it's important to keep an eye
on your hearing as well.
-
Did you have any hearing troubles recently?
-
Any irritation?
-
Yes you often wear heavy gear
-
or helmets on your head,
-
it puts a bit of pressure on the skin.
-
We'll see what we can do about that.
-
For now let me have a look inside your ears,
-
I'm going to start here.
-
It might be a bit cold.
-
Here we go.
-
Very good,
-
let's see the other side.
-
There is a small blockage on this side,
-
not that much,
-
but I will clear it so it won't turn
-
into anything worse like
an infection or something.
-
And you may not think it
-
but you will probably feel like
your hearing is better.
-
Let's start with that if you don't mind.
-
I'm going to use this little spoon here.
-
I will be very gentle of course
but let me know if there is any discomfort.
-
Alright?
-
Wonderful.
-
Here we go, very gently.
-
And that's it.
-
How does it feel?
-
Wonderful.
-
And now let's have a look
at your skin
-
and see this irritation
you were talking about.
-
I will be very gentle again.
-
But let me know if you feel any pain.
-
It's right here is it?
-
Just on the helix.
-
Same on the other side.
-
It's not so bad.
-
I will massage this part of your ears
-
with a bit of soothing oil,
-
and I will give you a vial of it,
to take back home
-
so you can use it
whenever you feel you need to.
-
I'm going to start with the left ear.
-
Here we go.
-
The other...
-
There.
-
Does it feel any better?
-
Wonderful my dear.
-
So this is for you.
-
And there's nothing left.
-
And you have the most beautiful skin.
-
Now it's time to nourish it
-
so I will apply some oil
-
that I will choose according
to your skin type.
-
And then I will give you a
Gua Sha massage with crystal rollers.
-
Just one moment.
-
And here we go...
-
On the chin...
-
The nose...
-
The cheeks...
-
The forehead...
-
And now the rollers.
-
I heated them up a little bit
so they are nice and warm.
-
Here we go.
-
And now, close your eyes again
-
and let's visit a distant future
on a far, far away planet.
-
A low, constant and deep hum
wraps you like a warm sound blanket.
-
Everywhere you can see
little colourful lights
-
and while you gaze at the stars
by a small window looking into space,
-
you realize how much
there is still to explore.
-
No more borders,
-
no more limits.
-
Your mind starts to wander
at all the possibilities yet to come
-
as you feel sheltered...
-
Alright, let me start with your face.
-
Let me see.
-
This cheek first.
-
There's a small red spot here.
-
Your chin...
-
The other cheek...
-
Your forehead...
-
There's another red spot here.
-
Does it hurt when I touch it?
-
Alright.
-
Let me see your ears.
-
The other one.
-
Alright, your neck...
-
Again, a red spot, just here.
-
This side...
-
Alright let me see your hands.
-
Between the fingers...
-
A red spot again.
-
The other one.
-
Alright, I see nothing on this one.
-
Good.
-
Let's have a look at your scalp.
-
On the front first.
-
At the back...
-
Alright.
-
On this side...
-
No I see nothing on your scalp,
-
it's perfectly fine.
-
But I'm going to have a closer look
-
at these red spots here and there.
-
I'm pretty sure I can find some samplers
here.
-
Oh, it was still vacuumed.
-
Good.
-
In perfect condition.
-
(unintelligible whispers)
-
Now I'm going to take a bit
-
of the superficial cells on these red spots.
-
Don't worry it's going to be
totally painless.
-
Let me start here.
-
I'm going to gently,
-
very gently,
-
scratch the spot.
-
A second one, in the neck.
-
Again, very gently.
-
And, between your fingers please.
-
And, back into the sampler.
-
Now let's shake it a bit.
-
How was it?
-
Yes, the rollers would make
anyone sleepy.
-
Now while the oil finishes
penetrating your skin
-
to leave it moisturized and smooth
-
I will gently massage your scalp
with a hair balm.
-
Let me sit behind you.
-
There, let's start.
-
We're going to end our small
guided meditations with a final one.
-
And we're going back to the past again...
-
This one is all about comfort and cosiness.
-
Picture yourself in your fanciest outfit
-
coming back from a ball
-
where you had the best time of your life.
-
You think again about the bright candles
all around,
-
the flower scent in the air,
-
and the sound of rustling fabrics
on the dancing floor.
-
There were gentlemen, lords and earls
everywhere around...
-
Ladies, princesses, and maybe even the Queen.
-
Knowing you'll spend your night dreaming
about shiny dresses and spirited music,
-
you allow a friend help you slowly slip
from a festive mood to a sweet sleepiness.
-
Very good.
-
Now there's no way you're going to bed
-
with such an intricate hairstyle.
-
Did you do it yourself?
-
I see.
-
Well, let's start by taking the hair pins off.
-
So, let' see...
-
Good.
-
And these two pretty combs.
-
Good.
-
Now let's give it a good brush
-
so you don't add more knots during the night.
-
Let me start at the back.
-
Now, on this side.
-
And the other...
-
Perfect.
-
Now would you like your hair
-
to be curly in the morning?
-
If so I could use fabric stripes
-
just like mines.
-
I have a few left,
-
and they're made of silk
-
so very comfortable to sleep with.
-
I could put 3
on each side of your hairline
-
and the curls will frame your face
in the loveliest way.
-
Good.
-
And here we go.
-
On this side.
-
Good.
-
Now let's braid the rest of your hair.
-
So...
-
One,
-
two,
-
and three strands.
-
And now, you are very welcome
to fall asleep.
-
I'm just going to spray a bit of lavender
and orange blossom mist all around you,
-
and make sure you are snug and cosy.
-
There.
-
Have a wonderful sleep.
