About Me
Founder of Skin & Sage — A Journey in Beauty, Healing & Soul Work
I’m Natasha McCrystal, a Beauty and Massage Therapist with over 30 years of experience in the skin and wellness industry. My professional journey has taken me from owning multi-award-winning day spas and skin clinics across South Perth, Mandurah, and Dunsborough — to building a new kind of space: one that honours both science and soul.
Throughout my career, I’ve specialised in corrective skin care, mature and hormonal skin, and lifting and firming treatments. But I’ve always known that true beauty is more than skin deep. Underneath every skin condition is a story — emotional, energetic, or spiritual — waiting to be seen, heard, and gently released.
My own story began in an unlikely place. My very first boss ran what looked like a conventional beauty and massage clinic. But behind the scenes, it was so much more. It was there I first witnessed the power of touch to heal on emotional and spiritual levels. It became clear that this was my path: to bridge the visible world of beauty with the invisible work of healing and soul connection.
Alongside my career in skin and bodywork, I studied counselling, energy medicine, and spiritual healing. I became a Reiki Master, intuitive guide, and teacher of self-awareness. Over time, I developed my own method—The Skin & Sage Protocol—a layered, integrative approach to healing that supports the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.
Today, I work one-on-one with women seeking more than just a facial. My clinic is a sacred space to receive healing touch, release trauma, reconnect with the self, and reclaim beauty from the inside out. I also teach others—both clients and therapists—how to integrate plant medicine, self-care, and intuitive wisdom into their lives and businesses. Whether you arrive for a skin treatment, a reiki session, or Soul School, my intention is always the same:
to help you feel seen, held, and remembered… as whole.
The Skin & Sage Philosophy
Beauty is more than skin deep. It’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
At Skin & Sage, we believe that true beauty and wellbeing come from healing all layers of the self—not just the skin we see, but the story that lives beneath it. Our treatments are not just facials or massages. They are rituals. They are reset points. They are safe spaces for your body, mind, and spirit to return home.
We work across four core pillars of healing—each one deeply supported by the wisdom of plant medicine and the ancient art of energetic touch:
Physical
This is where we begin—with the body. With your skin, your muscles, your nervous system.
Our facials and massage treatments are designed to lift, tone, correct and nourish the skin, but they do much more. They soothe a busy nervous system, reconnect you to your physical self, and restore confidence in your body’s wisdom. For those who’ve experienced trauma, touch is a powerful modality to ground and stabilise—rebuilding trust and presence in a safe, nurturing way.
We use healing massage techniques, lymphatic drainage, intuitive hands, and high-quality essential oils that penetrate deeply into the skin’s layers, supporting cellular regeneration and emotional calm simultaneously.
Mental
The stories we tell ourselves shape our reality. In our mental layer, we work with coaching, counselling, and guided self-inquiry to identify the beliefs, behaviours, and inner narratives that may no longer serve you. Whether you’re ready for personal change, navigating transition, or want to align your outer life with your inner truth, these sessions help create clarity and momentum.
Emotional
The skin often reflects what the heart carries.
Our emotions live not only in our minds—but in our cells, our posture, our breath, and yes, in our skin. Through gentle talk therapy, breathwork, intuitive healing, and the vibrational medicine of essential oils, we support the emotional body to soften, release, and reset. This is where deep transformation occurs.
Spiritual
At the highest layer, we connect to your soul. This work may include Reiki, spiritual healing, soul retrieval, Akashic records, or intuitive guidance to reconnect you to your purpose, power, and spiritual gifts.
This is not about dogma or belief systems—it’s about energy, truth, and alignment.
It’s about clearing old karmic residue, accessing past lives or soul contracts, and anchoring more of your higher self into your everyday life.
