About

Ritual Self Care is operated by Nissa Valdez from the ground level of a carriage house behind a red brick home in Minneapolis. Clients enter through the door on the right at the bottom of the driveway. Appointments are offered Monday through Friday, and all services can be combined. The 90-minute session is listed at $180 plus sales tax, and ashiatsu can also be paired with Manual Lymph Drainage, a facial, or the Honey Glow Facial.

Facials are built around each client's skin, goals and health history, including current or past cancer treatment. Clients can choose a session length rather than a fixed menu service. A 60-minute facial is listed at $165, and a 90-minute version at $205, with options for three-session series. Facial Rejuvenation is a 105-minute session at $235 that adds extended advanced massage, head and neck lymph drainage and high-potency products. First-time clients can book the 90-minute Initial Facial at $200, which includes a consultation and a home care plan with product samples. The plant-based Abundant Harvest mask, blended during the facial, can be added for $15.

Oncology massage and esthetics is adapted for people who are receiving or have finished cancer treatment, and it is also offered as part of palliative care. The practice describes experience working with people before, during and after treatment. Oncology massage is listed at $140 for 60 minutes, $165 for 75 minutes and $180 for 90 minutes, plus sales tax, and the oncology facial is listed at $155 for 60 minutes.

Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique focused on the lymphatic system, and the work follows the teaching of the Vodder School. Sessions are listed at $110 for 45 minutes, $140 for 60 minutes and $180 for 90 minutes, plus sales tax. The initial session is 60 minutes at $165 and includes a consultation about health history, goals and concerns. The studio notes that this work is most effective when sessions happen one to three times per week. Holistic coaching is offered over Zoom, and clients apply through a form on the website.

Products include the be loved line of body balms, soaps and lotion bars, made with plants from the owner's garden infused in raw, unrefined butters and oils, along with honey products from a local beekeeper. The facial product lines are plant-based, sustainably grown, and free from petroleum and synthetic fragrance. Gift cards are sold as digital eGift cards in set amounts or a custom amount, and as physical cards mailed to the buyer or recipient.

Ritual Self Care takes a holistic approach to skin and body care, looking at the whole system, and selects non-toxic product options with client health in mind.
