custom organic facials
Each treatment is as unique as you are, and includes many layers of deliciousness.
We will begin each treatment talking about what your goals are and how your skin has been doing so that we can tailor the session to your needs. While each session is unique and customized to your needs and requests, I do follow a multi-phased approach to cleanse, detox, exfoliate, treat, nourish, massage the face and neck. After analyzing your skin's unique needs, I custom blend the ingredients and treatments for each individual facial. All of my skin and body care products are liposome encapsulated for optimum transdermal delivery, achieving the deepest therapeutic effects. Their bioenergetic properties are totally unique.
My skin therapies benefit every skin type, from oily and acne prone to ultra dry and aging skin. I also provide specialized treatments for teenagers, pregnant women, and people with conditions such as sun damage, dark spots, and rosacea. I work with men and women of all ages.
Your treatments will evolve as your skin improves with each corrective herbal treatment. A facial can include steam, vacuum, extractions, plant based peels, exfoliation, treatment serum, light therapy, nourishing masks, crystal-free diamond microdermabrasion, galvanic penetration, ultrasonic massage, Gemstone Elixirs, LED, laser treatment, massage, and more. Price includes all serums, masks, and techniques listed above.
I love using the latest technologies because my clients see greater results since these technologies work to deliver the nutrition and healing power of the products deep into the skin. Below are some of the technologies we can add into your facial.
High Frequency
The use of High Frequency is very effective in killing germs and bacteria on the face and in reducing inflammation and in controlling the spread of acne. It has antiseptic effects on the skin and closes the pores following extraction. It also sanitizes and closes open blemishes and lesions. Normal skin can also benefit from the use of high frequency which can tone, tighten and stimulate collagen.
Galvanic
Galvanic Current is a non-invasive direct current that is either positively or negatively charged. It is used for deep cleansing of congested skin or to provide a deeper delivery of nutrients into the skin. Galvanic Current is an effective anti-aging tool, used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin and sun damaged skin. It is completely painless and safe with no side effects.
Microcurrent
Microcurrent treatments lift, strengthen and tighten and tone the skin. Generally a series of treatments 2-3 times each week for ten weeks, then monthly, can show positive results. Microcurrent can also be used to deeply penetrate serums. Microcurrent is effective for deep penetration of serums for hydrating skin, reduction in facial laxity, raising brows, tightening jaw lines, reducing sub-mental chin laxity and overall toning of facial muscles.
Crystal-Free Diamond Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion has been scientifically and histologically proven to improve the appearance of the stratum corneum and stimulate underlying tissue. There is little pain, discomfort and virtually no down time for the client. Use of diamond crusted tips are preferable over crystals which can become embedded in the skin or inhaled by the practitioner or client. Benefits of microderm can include reduction in T-zone oiliness, tighter skin, smoother texture and possible temporary reduction in pore size. Mircrodermabrasion is effective for light scarring, dyschromias, hyperpigmentation, rough texture and fine lines.
My face was not aging gracefully. By age 60 I had large pores, age spots and spider veins. Kathy began her wonderful facials on me and I saw results! Friends and family started telling me how much younger I looked – they still do. My face has a healthy glow and the redness, brown spots and pores are barely noticeable.

Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic technology is effective when trying to deeply cleanse or penetrate a product. It is effective for skin with rosacea, sensitive skin, skin in need of deep cleansing and skin that will benefit from deep product penetration.
Laser
There are many types of lasers used in skin care. I use the LaserStim, a deep penetrating cold laser therapy. This laser provides highly targeted treatments with its patented technology combining both electrical stimulation and cold laser therapy. It can identify damaged cells and stimulate mitochondria accelerating the production of ATP. It is highly effective in transforming damaged cells into healthy ones with no side effects and no downtime. Healthy cells translate into younger and firmer looking skin for you.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
IPL is a non-ablative or non-vaporizing treatment of skin cells to address skin irregularities. Generally, four to six 20-minute treatments at three week intervals are recommended to see improvements. IPL is is effective in the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, skin texture improvement, shrinkage of pore size, reduction of dyschromias, distended capillaries, rosacea and in fine lines and wrinkles.
Light Emitting Diode (LED)
LED technology involves non-thermal, non-ablative interaction of light delivered through tiny light-emitting diodes that activate skin cells through photo modulation. LED enhances the production of new collagen. The red light is beneficial for skin rejuvenation, the blue light anti-bacterial and an effective treatment for acne, rosacea and psoriasis, the amber light for anti-aging benefits and the green light for reduction in the appearance of hyperpigmentation. LED is effective for sun damaged skin, mild acne, erythema, sunburns, collagen boosting and pain reduction, stretch marks, eczema, and enhanced wound healing.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
As we grow older more toxins are trapped and build up in our cells. Body fluids become thicker, our constant renewal process slows down and self-cleaning become more difficult. The lymphatic system plays a fundamental role in clearing immune debris from the tissues of the body. Effective liver restoration and tissue detoxification is dependent on the immune and lymphatic systems. Poor lymphatic function promotes toxin accumulate. Lymphatic Drainage Computerised Air Pressure Massage delivers a light rhythmic pumping movement via a specially designed body suit that effectively reduces water retention and creates instant centimeter loss as well as improving vascular and lymphatic circulation, resulting in detoxification and oxygenation of the tissues. We can provide this along with your facial, or as a separate service.
