Liliway Holistic Studio

Liliway Holistic Studio was founded by esthetician Liliana Gankevych and works from a suite in the Townsend Building on Broadway. The studio describes its approach as holistic, looking at the body, mind and spirit together and building personalized wellness plans aimed at preventative, healthier living.

Services fall into facial treatments, body treatments, consultations and integrative wellness coaching. Facials include an LPG Endermologie facial in 35 or 60 minute sessions, a customized holistic facial that uses manual lymphatic drainage and pressure-point massage with Biologique Recherche and MBR Cosmetics products, and a 90 minute signature facial that combines skin therapy with lymphatic, myofascial and pressure-point techniques, nervous system regulation and energy work. Body options include LPG Endermologie body sessions of 40 or 60 minutes, with packages available on request, and a signature body treatment that uses biodrainer technology with algae extracts, clays and targeted serums.

Consultations are the starting point for many clients. A first wellness consultation is a 60 minute private session, held in person or virtually, that includes intake and a lifestyle assessment, and follow-up wellness packages are discussed during it. A virtual consultation runs 50 minutes by secure video call with the founder and covers skin concerns, lifestyle and goals, an at-home routine, product selection and which in-studio treatments would suit.

Visiting is structured. New clients complete an intake form required by New York State regulations, and first-time clients pay a $50 reservation fee that is applied to the treatment. Every in-studio service begins with a 15 minute in-person consultation. Bookings go through a GlossGenius page, a valid credit card is required, and cancellations or changes need at least 24 hours' notice. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may mean rescheduling. On weekdays, enter through the Townsend Building and take the elevator to the 9th floor; on weekends and national holidays, enter through the St. James Building at 1133 Broadway and walk to the Townsend Building elevators.

Beyond appointments, the studio sells skincare, body care, hair care and lifestyle products and gift cards, and can recommend products that suit vegan or cruelty-free preferences. It publishes a journal covering skincare, body treatments, mental wellness, nutrition and seasonal advice, and hosts events and retreats, with early invitations open for sign-up.

Works from a body, mind and spirit view, building personalized holistic wellness plans aimed at preventative, healthier living, and holds that luxury and sustainability can coexist.

The studio describes itself as a private, by-referral space.
