Happy New Year! I hope you’re easing into 2019 comfortably and making an effort to do nice things for yourself more frequently.

I want to give a quick update regarding my service offerings. The best news- no price increases this year! Thanks to your many referrals, business is growing and I can absorb this year’s rent increase. It means a lot to me that you trust me enough to send friends and family my way. Thank you!

I’ve been dealing with some joint and tendon issues in my hands- the thumbs in particular. I was hoping my break would provide enough time off for things to calm down and heal but it didn’t have much of an impact. I’m sorry to say I just can’t do reflexology for the time being. I really enjoy providing this service so I didn’t come to this decision lightly. I do offer a shorter version of it in two facial treatments- Revitalizing Sandalwood & Hibiscus Facial and Organic Nirvana Facial. If you’re looking for full reflexology sessions, my office mate Joe Lizana offers it. Check out his website for more information.

In other news, I have been, and will continue to be adding more peel options to help you (and me!) cheat father time a bit longer. I’m declaring war on sun-damage and hyperpigmentation! Check the peel section of the facial page for more information.

Lastly, I am working hard to balance seeing clients, keeping up with my manufacturing production and shipping schedule, and taking care of my deaf, paralyzed dog. Some weeks will have more availability than others for these reasons, so I appreciate your patience during unusually busy times when my schedule fills up fast and you can’t get in exactly when you prefer. Don’t forget you can always text me (it’s the fastest way to get a response) to see if I’ve had cancellations or to be put on a cancellation list. Thanks for understanding!

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Hello! First, a little news- I’m starting this blog to keep you up to date with news, since I’m a total failure at doing it via social media. I am not a fan of social media in general and as the owner of two very small but growing businesses, I can barely manage as it is without worrying about facebook, instagram, twitter, etc… I tried to hire someone to do it but quickly realized they couldn’t post anything if I didn’t provide them with content. So now, if you want to know what’s new, check here first. I’ll try to get to social media occasionally, but this will be the first place I’ll post anything relevant.

Now for the good stuff- I’ve just updated the website with 2 new organic facials and 2 new peels.

• The Revitalizing Sandalwood & Hibiscus Facial is for dry, devitalized, mature and hyperpigmented skin.
• Healing Lotus & Dandelion Root Facial is for sensitive, inflamed or active acne conditions.
• Glycolic Acid Peel- One of the first peels I ever used professionally was glycolic acid MANY years ago and I’ve kind of rediscovered this peel recently. It’s just fabulous for so many skin conditions because it can be used on almost any skin type, depending on how long skin is exposed to it. This can be done as a peel only or you can add this peel to any other facial at half price.
• Organic Green Papaya, Willow Bark & Vitamin C Enzyme Peel is a natural and highly active peel, depending on how long skin is exposed so it’s easy to customize for almost any skin type, including acneic, mature, sun-damaged and hyperpigmented skin. It is very smoothing, helps brighten dull or hyperpigmented skin and heals breakouts fast, thanks to naturally occurring salicylic acid in white willow bark. This peel is featured in Revitalizing Sandalwood & Hibiscus Facial, Brightening Vitamin C & Honey Facial and Healing Lotus & Dandelion Root Facial. You can also add this peel to any other facial at half price.

I’ve also created this handy, dandy chart for your convenience since I know it can be a little overwhelming to have so many choices. I hope you’ll find it helpful. Click the chart to enlarge.

See you soon!
