You’re tired. Tired of trying every product, every new trend, and still waking up to the same stubborn breakouts, dryness, or dull skin. It’s frustrating—and it’s not your fault.

“Most skincare treats symptoms, not the source. “

I get it. That’s why I don’t just treat your skin—I heal it.
Real beauty starts where quick fixes end, and that’s what i’m here to give you.

I bet when you think of the beauty industry, you think of cosmetics, aesthetics and superficial facials…

Facials, treatments for the sensitive skin on your face, are typically performed ONLY for their cosmetic value- to make you look good.
But there is another approach to beauty, one that is gaining in popularity quickly, and for good reason. and It is the holistic approach, where the condition of your skin is considered within the context of your whole being.

What is Holistic Skin Care?

Holistic skin care isn’t about masking problems—it’s about resolving them. Stress, hormones, and poor sleep don’t just show up in your mood; they show up on your skin. I design treatments that work with your body’s rhythms to bring your skin back into balance. The result is a glow that comes from the inside out.

you need a plan that sees the bigger picture your skin is a part of”

Holistic skincare isn’t about masking flaws—it’s about healing them. Whether it’s dryness, acne, or signs of aging, the goal is to strengthen and repair your skin from the inside out. Because true beauty isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about balance, nourishment, and lasting results.

Stress, hormones, and poor sleep not only just show up in your mood; they show up on your skin. Holistic skin care treatments are designed specifically for you and work with your body’s rhythms to bring your skin back into balance. The result isA glow that comes from the inside out. You don’t need another product—you need a plan that sees the bigger picture.

Why Holistic Facials Work

Holistic facials aren’t about scrubbing and poking until your skin glows. The focus is not on trying to removing what annoys you, but rather feeding your skin exactly what it needs to thrive.

"Your skin deserves to be fed, not coated."

Holistic Healthcare always use organic ingredients like plant stem cells and adaptogens—natural powerhouses that boost circulation, detoxify, and repair. Think turmeric for calming inflammation, Ashwagandha for stress relief, and rosehip oil for deep hydration. It’s skincare that adapts to your needs, whether that’s calming rosacea, hydrating dry patches, or smoothing out fine lines.

Massage techniques like lymphatic drainage flush toxins, reduce puffiness, and stimulate blood flow to give your skin a natural glow. Facial marma point therapy works on energy channels to release tension and balance your body’s internal flow. It’s science and self-care combined.

Your Skin Works Hard—Let’s Help It Recover

Your skin does more than look pretty. It protects you. It senses the world. It shows you when something’s off inside.

But life doesn’t make it easy. Pollution clogs your pores, stress triggers inflammation, and harsh products can strip away your skin’s natural defenses. Before you know it, you’re left with redness, irritation, or dehydration.

Your skin is a living, breathing microbiome that regenerates itself approximately every 27 days. It’s always adapting to protect you, and my job is to support that process. I take the time to look at the whole picture—hydration, hormones, diet, and stress—then create a plan that helps your skin heal for good.

Ayurvedic Skin Care is not a new trend - It’s Ancient Wisdom That Works

It sees skin issues as signs of imbalance, whether that’s too much heat, dryness, or congestion.

"No two fingerprints are alike—and neither are skin treatments."

I use Ayurvedic herbs and techniques to calm inflammation, detoxify, and energize. From turmeric to Ashwagandha, every ingredient is chosen to work with your body’s natural rhythms. Imagine using herbs not just as skincare but as medicine for your skin—balancing oil production, boosting collagen, and brightening dull spots naturally.

Ayurveda also recognizes the connection between emotions and skin health. Stress can lead to flare-ups, hormonal shifts, and irritation. That’s why treatments include stress-relieving techniques like aromatherapy and marma point therapy, helping you feel better inside and out.

I also work with your unique dosha type—your Ayurvedic constitution based on the elements of fire, air, and earth. Whether your skin needs cooling, nourishing, or energizing, I customize treatments that match your needs, leaving you balanced and radiant.

Daily Rituals for Healthy Skin

Beautiful skin isn’t a quick fix—it’s the result of daily rituals that nourish both body and soul. At The Priestess Spa, we believe skincare doesn’t end at the spa door. It continues through mindful habits and intentional self-care.

Hydrate with Purpose
Start your morning with warm lemon water to awaken digestion and detoxify. Carry herbal teas infused with mint, rose, or chamomile to calm inflammation and keep your body—and skin—hydrated throughout the day.
Eat to Glow
Incorporate Ayurvedic superfoods like turmeric, ghee, and sesame seeds into your meals to promote collagen production and reduce inflammation. Dark leafy greens, berries, and omega-rich seeds are also staples for glowing skin.
Sleep Deeply
Beauty sleep isn’t just a saying—your skin repairs itself overnight. Create a calming bedtime ritual with lavender essential oil or herbal teas like tulsi to promote restful sleep and aid skin regeneration.
De-Stress Mindfully
Stress shows up on your skin, so it’s crucial to unwind. Practice daily yoga or meditation, even if it’s just five minutes of deep breathing. Add grounding rituals like body oiling with warm sesame oil to soothe nerves and improve circulation.
Protect Your Skin’s Microbiome
Avoid harsh soaps and over-exfoliation, which strip your skin’s natural barrier. Opt for gentle cleansers and nourishing oils that feed your skin’s microbiome instead of fighting against it.

When your lifestyle mirrors the holistic care you receive in the spa, your skin’s natural radiance becomes effortless—and facials can amplify and maintain that glow.
