Skincare at Pace of Space
At Pace of Space in Leuven, I offer skincare for those who know: true care goes beyond the surface.
What I do is not about perfecting, fixing, or pushing.
It's about remembering. Reconnecting.
Letting your skin - and nervous system - exhale.
My approach is both scientific and intuitive.
Grounded in skin physiology, stress regulation, and nervous system awareness.
But also guided by presence, touch, rhythm and the soft intelligence of your body.
Your skin is not separate from your life
Your skin is not just a layer… it’s a sensory, hormonal, immune-responsive organ.
It communicates with your nervous system, your gut, your hormones, your emotions.
When you're under chronic stress, your body releases hormones that:
weakens the skin barrier (leading to sensitivity, dryness or flare-ups)
alters oil production (causing breakouts or dullness)
slows down collagen synthesis (accelerating aging and reducing resilience)
That’s why a facial is not so interesting when it treats the skin in isolation.
It is much richer when it supports the whole system. Your skin, your breath, your fascia, your nervous system… to move back into balance.
What I do (and what I don’t)
In my treatments, I use only what your skin can recognize:
Plant oils, hydrosols, enzymes, and minerals that support your skin’s natural pH (4.5–5.5).
I protect the microbiome — the invisible ecosystem of beneficial bacteria — and avoid stripping or over-exfoliating.
My work includes:
Strengthening the skin’s barrier function
Stimulating lymphatic flow through gentle massage
Working with fascia and connective tissue
Supporting self-healing instead of overriding it
And when desired, I weave in astrology, seasonal rhythms and cycles, for those who feel nourished by that extra information.
You don't have to explain your tiredness
Quite some of the people who come to me are sensitive, often overwhelmed.
They don’t want more information.
They long to feel again.
They (and mostly their bodies) want to stop performing and start receiving.
In my treatment space, there’s no pressure to explain.
You don’t need a polished version of yourself.
You are allowed to be quiet, raw, unsure.
I listen through my hands.
I ask questions your body understands.
And I offer touch that reminds your whole being: you are safe here.
Sessions & soulcare
Alongside facials, I offer some different other approaches:
Face the Stars: a soulful skincare course blending astrology, self-massage, seasonal herbs and ritual
Visible from within: 1:1 guidance for women who want to be seen, without burning out
Seasonal Skin Sessions: treatments tailored to the shifts in light, hormones, mood and skin texture across the year
These are not for quick fixes.
These are for people who want to come home to their bodies, in the mirror and in their lives.
