Althea Wellness

Althea Wellness is a specialised massage and facial treatment studio at 3 Deodar Dr, Burleigh Heads. The Gold Coast venue focuses on lymphatic drainage massage and buccal facial massage, with sessions shaped around each client’s body, concerns and wellness goals.

The atmosphere is calm and nurturing, giving clients space to slow down, release tension and reconnect with how the body feels. Treatments are delivered by Stella, a qualified Beauty Therapist who specialises in lymphatic drainage and buccal techniques. The approach is considered and personal, with care placed on comfort, intention and individual needs.

Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle, rhythmic movements rather than the firmer pressure associated with some traditional massage styles. The treatment is designed to encourage lymph flow, support the body’s natural processes and help reduce the feeling of fluid retention, puffiness or bloating. Clients may also seek this style of massage to support recovery, ease tension, assist with swelling after injury or surgery, or create a calmer sense of physical wellbeing.

The lymphatic buccal facial massage combines facial sculpting with lymphatic techniques. Buccal work reaches the muscles inside the cheeks, while the broader facial massage is intended to help lift, define and de-puff the face through hands-on treatment. It can suit clients focused on facial tension, jaw tightness or a refreshed feeling without relying on cosmetic procedures.

For a more comprehensive session, the Detox & Sculpt treatment brings together full-face and body work. It combines lymphatic drainage massage with buccal facial massage as a coordinated wellness treatment, making it suitable for clients seeking both facial and body-focused care in one appointment.

Althea Wellness suits people looking for a quiet, one-to-one treatment environment rather than a conventional beauty salon or fitness setting. It may appeal to clients managing everyday tension, facial puffiness, jaw discomfort, bloating or a general sense of heaviness. Treatment suitability can vary according to individual health circumstances, so relevant concerns are best discussed when an appointment is arranged.

Located in Burleigh Heads, the studio offers a focused menu of specialist services rather than a broad spa program. Each treatment is centred on measured touch, body awareness and a restorative experience, with the intention of helping clients feel lighter, calmer and more connected to daily movement.
