Specialty Facials
-
Lymphatic Drainage Facial
75 min | $190
This facial starts with the benefits of a basic facial for the surface of the skin with a cleanse, gentle exfoliation, hydration and nourishment with a customized mask and high vibe skincare products but ends with Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) which is gentle but effective and which gives you the same benefits from the inside out. MLD cleanses and exfoliates the internal soft tissues by cleaning and filtering out toxins and dead cells, hydrates and nourishes by bringing in fresh fluids and oxygen. When lymph flow is slow or obstructed it can slow the natural detoxification process and cause puffiness, skin irritations and dull complexion. Physical manipulation of the lymph nodes helps speed up this process which improves the skin’s appearance as well as decreases feelings of stress which results in improving your overall wellbeing. MLD is a wonderful treatment for anyone but especially those with acne, rosacea, puffiness or high stress.
-
Connective Tissue Facial
75 min | $190
Connective Tissue (CT) is a technique that has both beauty and therapeutic benefits. It is not a massage but rather a gentle, lifting manipulation of the skin that creates space, releases tension and creates flow and a flood of nutrients for healthy tissues. Our connective tissue is an intricate matrix that communicates, transports, binds structures, repairs and protects. By manipulating the CT, it is supportive to its functions which include regeneration of collagen + elastin and reducing inflammation while it has a profound lifting effect creating a natural facelift with immediate results. To top it all off, CT manipulation sends you into a deeply relaxed state so critical for our bodies to rest and repair. This facial includes cleanse, exfoliation then the focus is CT manipulation from the clavicle all the way to the crown of the head, finished with customized products.

FAQs

The studio is in a house that has been converted to a business property. It features various beauty and wellness practitioners. Though we do share a bathroom, the massage and consultation room is 100% private. My space also features a waiting room if you need to accompany a minor.
-
You are welcome to park on the street or you may turn on Dundas Ln. to find parking located behind the house. If you choose to park in the driveway, please be courteous to leave enough room for other cars.
Please use the FRONT entrance. If you park in the driveway, you will need to walk around using the street or the gravel path on the side of the house.
From there, come on in and get comfortable in the waiting room. I look forward to seeing you soon!
-

No. While I understand the convenience of insurance coverage, I choose not to bill insurance for a variety of reasons. Insurance billing is complicated and limited. Being a "self-pay" practice allows clients the freedom to choose the frequency of care that fits their needs, while allowing me the time to focus on each appointment without distractions.
I, however, do accept HSA and FSA. I recommend checking with your provider first to see if they cover my services. Some of my clients choose to seek reimbursement from their insurance provider. For those clients, I can provide a receipt with all appointments and fees. -
In the event that you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I ask that you please give at least 24 hours notice before the beginning of your appointment or you may be charged a cancellation fee of $50.

"Lymphatic Drainage Massage" is a bit misleading. Using the pressure needed to perform massage is actually too much to stimulate the lymphatic system.
While you will see "Lymphatic Drainage Massage" a few places on my website, it is to help people looking online for this service. The correct term is Manual Lymphatic Drainage.Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a light, repetitive manual technique that follows the specific pathways of the lymphatic system.
When searching for lymphatic drainage services, be sure to seek out Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapists.
Certified MLD therapists play a crucial role in promoting health and well-being through our specialized skills and knowledge. We undergo extensive training that equips us with the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and the lymphatic system. This training ensures I can effectively perform the techniques required for MLD while understanding individual client needs.
The certification of MLD therapists is vital for ensuring safe, effective, and personalized care. It not only enhances the therapeutic outcomes for clients but also fosters confidence in the healing process.
I am certified in MLD through The Academy of Lymphatic Studies and have advanced lymphatic training through ASTECC.

My practice uses the brands In Fiore, Laurel Whole Plant Organics, Linné Botanicals and Wildling Beauty.

These products focus on supporting the baseline functions of the skin while actively repairing and preventing damage and imbalance.

This depends on your skin goals. To maintain a healthy glow and keep the skin regenerating at an optimal rate, coming in every 6-10 weeks is ideal. If you are trying to manage an active skin disorder, every 4-8 weeks until managed.
