As a Skincare Specialist - Medically trained, Licensed- Esthetician and Now certified Healing Arts professional , I have come to the conclusion that there are many avenues to roam when seeking out the perfect treatment when dealing with skincare concerns and conditions as well as internal imbalances.
Over the past 18 years of my career I have worked in so many types of environments - small day spas, large full service salon/spas, sole proprietorship offering basic skincare, destination spas and medical spas - Although these settings are all very different, those who come to visit all tend to have one thing in common. They are seeking a relaxing experience generally with answers to the following questions:
1. Can you make me look younger? 2. What can you do to stop my face from breaking out? 3. Can you make my complexion look better?
Of course there are exceptions as well as those who are completely content with the appearance of their skin and just want a relaxing, clarifying experience. What I find is that most visitors may also be feeling out of sync internally and once they feel safe and comforted it's difficult to explain why one releases emotions, fears and current life struggles.
As a Medical skincare specialist I have seen major improvements in diminishing age-spots and wrinkles with more aggressive treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulse Light), TCA Peels, Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning and Skin Tightening with Infra-Red light. These treatments create mini-trauma to skincells which in turn causes a healing effect that actually stimulates collagen and removes dry dead cells from the surface causing an overall rejuvenation and clarification.
Throughout my training as an Intuitive Reiki Healer and my passion to understand ancient Ayurvedic practices, my journey has come full circle. Being able to offer Botanical - Organic skincare treatments and perfectly formulated products - taking an all-natural approach to skin, body and soul enhancements truly heightens me and my clients in ways indescribable.
Two completely different ways of looking at Skincare, however, I beleive there is room for both. When you visit Serene Solutions you will get a completely different type of skincare experience. Together we will explore your individual concerns and discover exactly what is the root cause of your imbalances. Incorporating advanced modalities for more effective results of the overall appearance of your skin in addition to soulful-healing energy properly channeled with the help of natural crystals, stones and/or botanicals - the treatment turns into something so much more than you could ever imagine!
Western Modalities + Eastern Philosophies = Serene Solutions - Organic Skincare and Healing Arts.
