THE CONVERSATION

WITH

RHIAN TRUMAN
CELEBRITY FACIALIST

At The Collective, our retreats are all about pressing pause—reviving the body, rebalancing the mind, and reigniting the soul. Having experienced your beautiful treatments first-hand, Rhian, we instantly thought of you to support us in giving our women on retreat the most fabulous restorative facials and holistic treatments. Having recently served as resident facialist at SOHO farmhouse and set to start her next residency at Marbella Club, we are in for a treat. You bring such a calming, grounded energy, and you always leave us feeling radiant, relaxed and deeply cared for. We’re so excited to have you join us for our October retreat.

RHIAN, YOUR WORK GOES FAR BEYOND SURFACE-LEVEL SKINCARE—THERE’S A HOLISTIC, INTUITIVE QUALITY TO YOUR TREATMENTS. ON THE COLLECTIVE’S RETREAT, HOW WILL YOU CREATE YOUR BESPOKE TREATMENTS THAT SUPPORT OUR AIM TO TRULY RESTORE BODY, MIND AND SOUL?

Thank you—what a beautiful intention to hold for this retreat. For me, it all begins with tuning in. I’ll be meeting each woman exactly where she is in that moment, whether she’s needing calm, release, grounding or a sense of lightness. My treatments are always a blend of technique and intuition—listening to what the skin is saying, but also what the body and energy are asking for. The retreat environment gives space for deeper care, and I’ll be drawing on that to create truly nurturing, restorative treatments which will leave the skin glowing

RED MAGAZINE RECENTLY LISTED YOU UNDER ‘THE FACIALISTS USING ALCHEMY AND INTUITION TO SETTLE SKIN AND SOULS’. WE LOVE THIS DESCRIPTION OF YOUR WORK AND VERY MUCH AGREE WITH IT! WE KNOW YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS BUT WHAT TREATMENTS ARE YOU LOVING GIVING AT THE MOMENT?

That was a lovely article to read, I’m glad you enjoyed it. The skin can be like a jigsaw, so every client you see will be experiencing different concerns. I see this as a small challenge to work with my clients to improve the skin. For me it never gets old creating a personalised clear and simple Skincare Plan with a variety of products and tips for the individual to follow step by step. Then when I’m lucky enough to treat them again, you can visually notice the progression in the skin, which I find very rewarding.

MANY OF YOUR SIGNATURE TREATMENTS INCLUDE SCULPTING MASSAGE, LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE, AND INTUITIVE TOUCH. WHAT ROLE DO THESE TECHNIQUES PLAY IN RELEASING NOT JUST TENSION, BUT EMOTIONAL OR ENERGETIC STAGNATION?

These techniques are so much more than skin-deep. We hold so much in the face and neck—clenched jaws, furrowed brows, puffiness from stress or fatigue. Through sculpting and lymphatic massage, we gently shift that energy, clear stagnation and encourage the body’s natural flow to return. It’s not unusual for clients to say they feel emotionally lighter afterwards, as if something’s been released—not just physically, but energetically, too.

THE COLLECTIVE X RHIAN TRUMAN HAVE CREATED BEAUTIFUL HOLISTIC FACIAL TREATMENTS, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE?

The Holistic Sculpt and Glow Skin Ritual which is a dreamy 90 minutes and offers an overall soul soothing reset for tired skin, busy minds, jaw tension and stress.

Each treatment begins with an intuitive assessment of your skin, allowing me to create a bespoke facial tailored uniquely to you. Focusing on deep hydration, massage, lymphatic drainage, and acupressure, this facial nurtures your skin and encourages a full reset- both inside and out.

Blended seamlessly with a therapeutic Indian Head Massage rooted in ancient Ayurvedic healing traditions, this treatment works to improve circulation, melt away tension, and invite immediate relaxation.

You'll emerge from the treatment cabin—set alone with serene views and a gentle breeze- feeling restored, radiant, and deeply at peace.

I am so looking forward to meeting you on retreat and treating your skin.

YOU OFTEN SAY THAT SKIN REFLECTS WHAT’S GOING ON INTERNALLY—STRESS, DIET, HORMONES, SLEEP. HOW DO YOU TAILOR YOUR FACIALS TO MEET SOMEONE WHERE THEY ARE, ESPECIALLY DURING A RETREAT WHEN THOSE INTERNAL RHYTHMS ARE SHIFTING?

Yes, our skin tells the story of how we’ve been living and feeling. On retreat, people are transitioning from the pace of everyday life into a slower rhythm, and that shift can bring a lot to the surface—emotionally and physically. I always begin by checking in, both verbally and through gentle touch, to see what the skin needs that day. Some days it’s all about calming and soothing, others it’s about stimulating and energising. I never follow a script—each treatment is as unique as the person receiving it.

“Our skin tells the story of how we’ve been living and feeling.”

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE UNEXPECTED BENEFITS YOUR CLIENTS EXPERIENCE AFTER A TRULY HOLISTIC FACIAL ON RETREAT—BEYOND GLOWING SKIN?

The glow is lovely, of course—but I often hear things like, “I feel like I’ve just had a reset,” or “I didn’t realise how much I needed that.” There’s something powerful about being cared for in a safe, quiet space. People often leave feeling clearer, more grounded, more in touch with themselves. It’s like their nervous system exhales. It’s not just about beauty—it’s about restoration.

HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE SENSORY ELEMENTS—LIKE SCENT, SOUND, OR BREATH—INTO YOUR TREATMENTS TO HELP GUESTS DEEPLY RELAX AND DROP INTO STILLNESS?

I always want the treatment space to feel like a cocoon—somewhere you can fully let go. I use grounding essential oils depending on what someone needs (perhaps rose for comfort or eucalyptus for clarity), and I often invite a few deep breaths together to begin. Sometimes soft music, sometimes silence—it really depends on what creates the most spaciousness for that person. The senses are such a gateway into the body, and using them mindfully can be incredibly powerful for nervous system support.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO’S LOVED THEIR FACIAL ON RETREAT AND WANTS TO KEEP THAT SENSE OF CARE AND RADIANCE GOING WHEN THEY RETURN HOME?

Keep it simple, and keep it consistent. You don’t need a bathroom full of products—just a few good ones you really enjoy using. But more than that, treat your skincare routine as a ritual, not a chore. A few mindful minutes with your hands, your breath, and your intention can make such a difference. It’s about remembering how it felt to be cared for, and offering that to yourself a little each day.

FINALLY, WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO OFFERING—ENERGETICALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY—ON THIS RETREAT?

I’m genuinely so excited to be part of this special retreat. I know Claire and I have treated her skin many times over the years and worked with Aurelia when it was just starting to giving facials in Liberty and other beautiful destinations. 🩵

I love the opportunity to work deeply, to slow down, and to offer truly tailored treatments. But personally, I’m also looking forward to the connection—the shared moments, the conversations, the energy of a group of women coming together to rest and restore. It’s always an honour to hold space for people in that way, and I’m really grateful to be joining you all.

Rhian, thank you for bringing your warmth, and magic hands to The Collective. We know your treatments will be more than just moments of care—they’ll be moments of true healing. We can’t wait for our women to experience your presence, and leave not only glowing, but feeling more whole.
