Why Holistic Skincare?
A holistic approach simply means looking at and treating something as a whole, not just parts of it. The underlying philosophy is that the skin and body are interrelated and interdependent – balance, and thus health can only be achieved if all the parts are working properly. It means looking for the causes as opposed to just treating symptoms. It acknowledges that our environment and inner imbalances (physical, emotional, mental) can impact our skin health, thus, we consider all areas of life when the goal is to restore that balance.
Your skin health is more than what you see on the outside. You may know that your skin is the largest organ of the human body; therefore, it needs all the love and care you give your other organs. That is, skin care products won’t always solve your problems. Proper health starts on the inside, showing up on the outside. When blemishes or even rashes show up, your body is trying to send you a message. When targeting skin concerns, I approach them holistically, an ancient Eastern practice that recognizes the big picture beyond cleansers and moisturizers. This practice considers the lifestyle choices that energetically impact the health of your mind, body, and soul, and tangentially, the skin you’re in. Holistic skincare seeks to bring equilibrium between lifestyle, health and effectively relieve the skin of any “problems”—starting from within. My goal is to help guide every client towards healthy, balanced, happy skin.

This targeted treatment addresses concerns of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, scarring, sensitivity, and redness. Featuring the CO2LIFT® Carboxy gel mask– a medical-grade treatment that utilizes the powerful benefits of Carbon Dioxide to oxygenate the area applied to lift, tighten, and regenerate your skin. Carboxytherapy is a transdermal, non-invasive CO2 gel mask that uses carbon dioxide to regenerate the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, heal compromised skin, smooth texture, create even tone, and increase hydration by 117%. Clinically proven CO2LIFT® Pro utilizes the Bohr Principle. Creating a hyperbaric chamber within the skin, the CO2 stimulates the hemoglobin in the superficial capillaries to release oxygen and neutralize the CO2. Carbon dioxide, when delivered into the tissues, diffuses at the cutaneous and muscular microcirculatory levels, flooding oxygen-rich blood into the skin and tissues. Stimulating blood and lymph circulation and oxygenation while removing waste and inflammation to regenerate healthy, new skin tissue. While this mask sets for 45 minutes you'll relax and unwind with hand, arm, foot + leg massage. Followed by a serum infusion blend of peptides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and LED light therapy.
Results are noticeable after just one treatment, however, there is a cumulative effect, and 3-4 treatments are recommended once weekly, then once monthly to maintain results.

Skin Consultation
Add-Ons
Nourish | Soothe
$30- 30 mins
Facial Cupping is a TCM therapy that uses suction cups to stimulate the skin and muscles. The suction promotes increased blood and lymph circulation, which helps relieve muscle tension, and stimulates the facial cells that are responsible for collagen production.
This add-on is best paired with the Signature Balancing Facial, Botanical Wellness Facial, or the Express Facial. I do not recommend pairing this add-on with Dermaplaning.
Facial Cupping Add-On
$15- 15 mins
Facial Gua Sha is a TCM practice that translates in English to “scraping the pain away.” This practice has been adapted from a full-body vigorously detoxifying treatment to a beautifying relaxing ritual for the face, neck, and decolletage. Crystal stones are gently stroked across the skin to encourage lymphatic flow, increase circulation, and smooth + lift the skin.
This add-on is best paired with the Botanical Wellness Facial or the Express Facial. I do not recommend pairing this add-on with dermaplaning.
Gua Sha Add-On
$10- 10 mins
Facial Globes are chilled glass globes used to massage the skin at the end of a skincare treatment. These globes help to reduce skin inflammation, soothe redness, increase blood circulation, decrease puffiness around the eyes and boost collagen production.
This add-on can be paired with any skin care service, but especially pairs well with treatments that include Dermaplaning.
Facial Globe Massage Add-On
Hydrojelly Mask Add-On
$15- 20 mins
Hydrojelly masks start as powder that's activated with purified water for each use, creating a fluid "jelly" that's easily spread onto skin before solidifying for 15-20 minutes and becoming vacuum sealed to push beneficial ingredients deep into pores, then is removed easily with little residue remaining behind. Hydrojelly facials contain algae as an active ingredient to improve your skin's barrier function, along with a variety of other ingredients that help soothe, hydrate, plump, and brighten skin.
This add-on can be paired with any skin care service.
Heal | Support
$15- 10 mins
Honey tapping is a process where raw Mānuka honey is applied to the skin, followed by a kind of kneading, rolling, or patting motion. This technique improves the skin's health by stimulating circulation, which is important for wound healing, moving stagnant lymph, which detoxifies and depuffs the skin, leaving it looking toned and translucent. It also helps to exfoliate the skin but is not as intense or irritating as chemical peels, so even sensitive skins tolerate it well, and look radiant yet calm afterward.
This add-on can be paired with any skin care service.
Honey Tapping Add-On
$20- 20 min
LED Light therapy is a treatment that uses skin-safe, low-level light in different wavelengths and colors that penetrates into the skin to trigger its natural processes to repair the skin, boost collagen and fibroblast activity. A powerful enhancement that stimulates the healing process which soothes texture, redness, reduces inflammation and targets hyperpigmentation for an even and glowing skin tone.
This add-on can be paired with any skin care service.
LED Light Therapy Add-On
Complimentary
This complimentary add-on uses a glass electrode filled with argon or neon gas to deliver a low level of electricity to the surface of the skin. During the high frequency treatment, enriched oxygen molecules are produced that create an anti-bacterial action and a “natural” thermal tissue warming. This reaction helps your blood vessels push away toxins, while the cells in your skin are enriched with nutrients and hydrating volume. This in turn creates an increase in blood circulation and cell renewal that supports increased levels of collagen and elastin. The skin is left feeling instantly energized and noticeably softer after just one treatment.
High Frequency Add-On
Revitalize | Resurface
$20- 15 mins
Using an advanced serum with a blend of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, this is a powerful tool to improve skin hydration and elasticity, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This incredible peptide formula helps to detoxify the skin naturally and protect it from environmental free radicals. The combination of Hyaluronic acid for deep moisturizing and peptides for natural skin firming makes this an excellent serum that is suitable for all skin types.
Serum Infusion Add-On
$30- 30 mins
This exfoliating treatment is done using the dermaplaning technique to gently remove dead surface cells and vellus hair. This non-invasive treatment helps smooth the skin and brighten the complexion with no downtime. Dermaplaning is optimal for clients that have skin-specific concerns they want to address or looking for a painless alternative to waxing.
I wouldn’t recommend pairing this add-on with Gua Sha, Facial Cupping or High Frequency.
Dermaplaning Add-On
Herbal Polish Add-On
$15
A blend of four granulated Chinese herbs that contain naturally occurring AHA’s and skin softeners, providing a gentle physical and chemical exfoliation. Starting with a warm and nurturing oil massage and ending with our signature Neroli body cream. Enjoy adding this restorative treatment to any facial, which will be performed during the foot + leg portion of service.
