Hello! I am Kathy Poel, Holistic Skin Care Practitioner.

Let's start with the facts about me:

I am a licensed esthetician trained as a medical skin care technician, with advanced training as a Holistic Skin Care practitioner. I trained under Elina Fedorova of Elina Organic Skin Care. I am a member of the Association of Holistic Skin Care Practitioners. Through that organization I have continued my education and training each year. I have provided training, mentoring and guidance to others who are also passionate about holistic skin care. It's been exciting to watch this industry grow and flourish.

As a Holistic Skin Care Practitioner, I combine the best of nature, science and technology. I can achieve powerful results non-invasively, and without the use of harmful chemicals. When a client comes in for a facial we talk about paying attention to toxic ingredients, as everything applied to the skin is absorbed systemically. As beauty comes from within, we work to balance internally, as well as externally, I gently provide guidance about diet, healthy lifestyle choices, and supplementation.

I love what I do because I get to be very creative.  What I do is so unique and customized to each person, and different each time. I feel like I have the opportunity to be an artist. Each treatment is unique for each client every time because your skin is always different every day. My client's faces are my canvas onto which I create beauty and health.

Another thing I love about my practice is the people - I really care about each client. I strive to give each person what they need; sometimes a person will need to be quiet, or chatty, or one then the other. Often people leave saying
"don't know why I get so relaxed, it's like I just had a massage." The facials I give are so beneficial for your face, but the experience affects the whole body and person.

I feel that organic skin care is important because our environment is so toxic right now. Diseases are so prevalent such as Autism, ADD, ADHD, Alzheimer's and Fibromyalgia. When people begin to pay attention to the food sources, how they are grown, GMO, hormones, pesticides, herbicides, food additives, and realize that when all of these are combined and layered on top of each other dis-ease begins. Even if someone can't afford organic food all the time, organic skin care is one thing that you can do everyday. You can use natural organic products on your skin, especially since we are achieving the same or better results as invasive procedures and toxic chemicals.

My facial treatments balance the system creatively and intuitively using customized protocols, as well as providing healing energy through healing touch. A treatment is relaxing, inducing feelings of peace tranquility, and calmness.
