Venustus : The Sydney Facial That Transcends Skin Deep

Relauncher Venustus

If you’re craving more than just another facial, Venustus in Paddington offers a transformative experience that blends skincare, healing, and soul-level restoration. This isn’t just a day spa — it’s a modern-day temple to wellbeing.

A Boutique Spa with a Cult Following

Tucked into Sydney’s Oxford Street’s charming chaos, Venustus has quietly become a wellness institution over the past 30 years. Founded by Jeannie Bourke, the space has built a loyal clientele that includes creatives, CEOs, and those in the know — all seeking something deeper than the standard spa offering.

From the moment you walk through the door, you feel it: the space is intentionally charged. Crystals are embedded into the walls, ancient rituals infuse the treatments, and every detail is designed to help you ground, release, and reconnect.

My Facial Experience: Healing Meets High Performance

I booked in for a facial, expecting a luxurious hour of pampering. What I got was a deeply intuitive, multi-sensory experience.

My treatment began with grounding breathwork, followed by gentle bodywork and the application of handcrafted oils. The therapist worked with extraordinary intuition, adapting the entire treatment to what my skin (and mood) needed that day.

Products used were natural, ethically sourced, and often custom-made in-house. Every step was layered with intention — from massage techniques that released jaw tension, to crystal tools that calmed inflammation, to the soothing rhythm of sound vibrations playing in the background.

This was more than skin-deep — it was energetic alignment.

Why Venustus Is Different

What sets Venustus apart isn’t just its product philosophy or treatment menu — it’s the sacred energy behind it all.

  • Treatments incorporate breathwork, bodywork, sound healing, and intention.

  • The team are trained in both beauty and energy work — a rare hybrid.

  • Everything, from the interiors to the oils, supports nervous system regulation and deep restoration.

You leave glowing, yes. But more than that, you leave lighter.


In a city saturated with facials and wellness spaces, Venustus Beauty Lab stands out by going within. It’s not just about skincare — it’s about soul-care.

If you’re in Sydney and seeking something elevated — something energetically aligned, exquisitely delivered, and unforgettable — this is it.
