Seasonal & Sensory Facials

Seasonal Facials

When you hear “probiotics,” your mind might immediately go to gut health—but did you know your skin has its own microbiome too? Just like your digestive system, your skin thrives when the right balance of bacteria is present. That’s where topical prebiotics and probiotics come in.

I’m excited to introduce this new facial treatment designed to restore harmony to your skin—especially if you're dealing with sensitivity, breakouts, dullness, or a compromised barrier.

This prebiotic and probiotic infused facial is perfect for balancing combination, acne prone and rosacea skin types.  It uses a combination of probiotic exfoliants, prebiotic serums and toners, plus a gentle probiotic mask for deep cleaning and nourishment from the inside out.  

Together, they help regulate oil production, strengthen the skin barrier, soothe reactivity, and boost your glow naturally.  For maximum results, use my new Prebiotic Face Mist and Prebiotics Jelly Serum between facials!

New! Probiotic Balance Facial

I'm bringing back this facial because so many of you have expressed concerns of age spots and sun damage that you would like to correct!

This brightening facial features multiple brightening products selected just for your skin type.  Over time, my brightening facial will fade dark spots and leave you with a more even skin tone.

Discontinue use of actives like retinol one week prior to appointment. Sunscreen with UVA/UVB broad spectrum protection is absolutely required for at least a week after this facial to avoid accelerated sun damage. For best results book every 4 weeks.  

New! Brightening Facial

Reduce wrinkles and age spots and plump with collagen peptides.  This facial will leave you feeling hydrated, moisturized and more youthful. If you have aging skin and would like to see results, this is for you. I start with deep but gentle cleansing and exfoliation, followed by facial massage, a firming mask, and end with targeted serums and deep moisturizing using our exclusive skincare products. Includes free hand massage treatment!

Age Rewind Facial

This facial uses the ancient technique of Gua Sha combined with Manual Lymphatic Drainage and facial pressure points, to gently detoxify your skin.  By moving lymph fluid through your facial tissues and down towards the lymph nodes, we release fluid buildup.  This release helps to depuff and tone the skin while allowing the flow of healthy lymph through your system. To enhance your results, I use a firming mask and infuse your skin with wonderful anti-aging and anti-inflammatory products based on your skin type.  Gentle and soothing, this facial is also ideal for sensitive clients and clients with chronic inflammatory issues (sinuses, acne, dryness).  

Gua Sha MLD Facial

My signature facial is what sets me apart and keeps my books full with clients!  I use facial oils and essential oils from Green Envee, combined with exfoliants and masks chosen for your specific skin type to soothe your body and mind.  Leave with your skin glowing and your senses calm and rejuvenated.  Enjoy an hour away from it all, just for you! 

Signature Aromatherapy Facial

This facial is a no talking sit back and relax while I melt away your day with relaxing gua sha facial. With massage throughout the service, relaxing essential oils and calming skin ingredients like chamomile, jojoba and jasmine. 

This relaxing facial includes the toning and detoxification of gua sha facial massage, warm towel hand wraps, hair combing with Gua Sha tools and a 10 minute Reiki session to complete your holistic self care.

It's not just a facial, it's time for you! 

Ultimate Relaxation Bundle

Natural Facials

This facial is designed to deeply cleanse, calm inflammation, and promote a balanced, clearer complexion. Perfect for those struggling with breakouts, congestion, or oily skin, this treatment combines deep cleansing with acids and enzymes to break down congestion.  Next gentle exfoliation and extractions if needed using a skin spatula or extraction swabs.  Soothing botanicals will relax and reduce redness to support skin healing. I also utilize High Frequency and Blue LED light therapy to target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing.  Enjoy a soothing mask with Cica and Tea Tree while I relax you with ice globe gua sha tools over the mask.  With regular visits and a quality home care routine you will see clearer skin and less breakouts!

I specialize in acne over 40, but all ages are welcome!  
Minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Purifying Acne Facial

My Oxygen Infusion Facial uses gentle pressurized air to deliver an exfoliating, skin-reviving serum—leaving your complexion instantly brighter, smoother, and more hydrated. It’s a perfect choice for dry, sensitive, or breakout-prone skin, and gives an immediate glow without harsh chemicals or downtime. 

The calming blend of aloe, hyaluronic acid, Lactic Acid, green tea, chamomile, and ceramides—will reduce redness and deeply replenish moisture. Your skin will feel fresh, calm, and radiant. 

MUST BOOK A PEEL PREP OR CONSULTATION FACIAL FIRST BEFORE BOOKING THIS TREATMENT

Oxygen Infusion Facial

For this facial I begin by cleansing your skin using Green Envee botanical oils to nourish and protect the skin barrier. After cleansing, I dermaplane your face using a surgical scalpel and Vahati ayurvedic oil.  This removes the light vellus hair on your skin as well as a gentle layer of skin for exfoliation that works even on the most sensitive skin types.  A gentle aloe mask with Turmeric & Matrixyl 3000 peptides will leave your skin toned and bright. I conclude the mask with calming Ice Globes to help cool your skins tissue down and reduce any redness present.

This facial is not recommended for your first ever facial or for clients who do not use SPF daily.

Dermaplaning Facial

Microchanneling, also known as Nanoneedling, is a gentle, no-downtime treatment perfect for sensitive skin and first time clients. Using a device with ultra-fine, silicone tips, this treatment creates microscopic channels in the outermost layer of your skin—enhancing the absorption of potent serums while naturally stimulating collagen and elastin production. This facial helps smooth texture, soften fine lines, and restore your skin’s radiant balance all without any actual needles penetrating the skin.

Select from the Revive + Glow Ampoule Booster or the Calm + Restore Ampoule Booster to tailor your results.

See smoother texture, brighter skin and an overall hydrated glow with no down time!

New! Microchanneling Facial

This facial bundle includes everything needed to treat acne prone skin, oily skin and even combination skin.  If you struggle with inflamed acne and constant breakouts, this series of deep treatments will help kill bacteria with deep cleaning using AHA's and BHA's plus high frequency.  The addition of blue light and a detoxifying mask will calm inflammation and soothe the skin.  And a final boost of oxygen using a pressurized serum spray that leaves your skin barrier calm and hydrated.  

This bundle also sets you in the right direction with a full size home care kit just for you!  This ensures your results last and you see improvement with proper home care.  It's the perfect reset button for your troubled skin!

Barrier Repair Facial Bundle

Specialty Facials

This facial is for anyone wanting to begin a series of chemical peels. Because not everyone is a candidate for a chemical peel, this appointment is specifically to go over your skin health history and see if you are a candidate for a peel series. This appointment includes a full consultation and a 60 minute custom facial which will include several light acids to prep your skin and check for any reactions.  I like to also call this a "mini peel". If it is determined you are a candidate, you will then be able to purchase my 4 peel package. If it is determined that you are not a candidate for chemical peels, we will simply book you for more gentle facials in the future if you desire. 

Peel Prep Facial-Book First

The FloraEssence Peel is a plant-powered treatment designed to smooth texture, brighten tone, and support your skin’s natural repair process. This gentle yet effective peel uses a blend of 15% lactic acid, 3% mandelic acid, 2% hibiscus flower extract, amino acids, and other chirally-correct ingredients to exfoliate, hydrate, and boost cell turnover.

Perfect for combination, dry, sensitive, and mature skin types, this peel targets fine lines, poor elasticity, dullness, and rough texture—revealing a fresh, radiant complexion with minimal downtime.  Safe for first time peelers and summer peels.

Key Benefits:
• Refines skin texture
• Boosts hydration
• Improves elasticity
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Enhances radiance

Nurturing and effective, the FloraEssence Peel brings visible, healthy results in a single session.  For even more amazing results, we recommend a series of 4 peels spaced 2 weeks apart.

This treatment does not include steam, 10 minute massage or extra towels. 

New! FloraEssence Hydrating Peel

A combination of 15% Pomegranate Enzyme, 8.5% Lactic Acid, 8% Mandelic Acid, 1.5% Malic Acid, 2% Goji, 2% Alpha-Arbutin to treat oily, combination, blemish prone skin and hyperpigmentation.

An exfoliating peel with enzymatic + alpha hydroxy acids with mega antioxidant potency and transformative results. Pomegranate + Malic Acid work synergistically to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, promote cell turnover, brighten complexion and unclog pores.

An ideal treatment for hyperpigmentation, oily + acne prone skin. Vitamin C from Goji Fruit and other hydrating “jelly” ingredients level up this plant based peel in delivering a mega brightening boost.

This treatment does not include steam, 10 minute massage or extra towels. 

New! Pomegranate Brightening Peel

Experience the next level of skin rejuvenation with Liquid Microneedling—a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen, smooths fine lines, reduces acne and inflammation and enhances overall skin radiance. 

Unlike traditional microneedling, this advanced formula uses 30,000 plant-based micro-spicules from sea sponges to deliver powerful (EGF) epidermal growth factors deep into the skin, promoting cell regeneration.  There is no downtime, bleeding or complications that can come from traditional microneedling pens. 

Ideal for improving texture, elasticity, and overall clarity, this treatment leaves your skin refreshed, firmer, and more youthful. 

Safe for all skin types except those with moderate to severe rosacea, those with fish or iodine allergies.

Treatment may cause slight redness and discomfort for up to 72 hours as the spicules dissolve and shed at the cellar level.  It feels like a sunburn.  SPF 30+ is required daily following this treatment.

New! Natural Sea Sponge Peel - Level 1

Indulge in a milk chocolate experience with nourishing cleansers, invigorating scrubs and a mask that can only be described as chocolate frosting heaven!  This brightening peel uses 15% Lactic Acid to remove dead skin cells while your scenes escape to a cocoa paradise.  

Must be off all retinols and actives 2 weeks prior to service.
Must use SPF 30+ for at least 10 days post treatment to avoid accelerated damage.

New! Milk Chocolate Peel

Advanced Treatments

A Reiki meditation before you depart is the perfect way to balance your mind and body at the end of your facial service.  This 10-minute meditation is based on balancing the chakra centers of your body to help balance your nervous system.  I use crystals and sound therapies to enhance the experience and guide you in and out of your reiki session.  You only need to breathe and connect with your inner voice.  Set aside any tension you may be holding on to and leave a better version of you!  Feel refreshed, rejuvenated and glow from the inside out - this is what it truly means to offer holistic esthetics services.  It's true self care.  

Note:  Reiki is considered non-denominational and open to all faiths and belief systems.

10 Minute Reiki Meditation Add On

Tweeze Only - No Tint
This is an add on only service to offer a quick tweezing to shape your brows and create a more tidy eyebrow look.

Brow Clean Up

A deeply relaxing treatment using a Gua Sha comb to gently stimulate the scalp, boost circulation, and release tension. This ritual encourages healthy hair growth, calms the nervous system, and pairs beautifully with facials or lash lifts for a full-body reset.

Gua Sha Scalp Combing 

Microchanneling is a NEEDLE-LESS option for glowing results without any pain or downtime.  Instead of needles, microchanneling devices use a pyramid tip that is much smaller and simply creates microscopic channels in the skin which provide a more effiecient route for concentrated serums to penetrate the skin directly.  Adding this to your facial will enhance long term results as well as provide an immediate smoothing glow to refresh your skin!  Perfect for all skin types including sensitive or acne.

For optimal results I recommend this treatment every 2-4 weeks for 4 treatments.
