~About Us~
A personal message from the owner of
EsScentials for Body & Soul
I have been in the legal industry for about 30 years. About 15 years ago, I woke to find that I could not hold my head up, nor could I hold/grip anything with my left hand. Suffering from tremendous pain, I sought the help of traditional medical doctors and was sent to neurologists, etc. At the end of this journey, I started seeing a physical therapist and discovered that severe stress had taken over my body. My muscles in my neck were pinching my nerves causing the numbness and pain. That is when I decided to do something more for myself.
I started my quest by looking into aromatherapy. I loved the fact that inhalations of pure essential oils could provide deep relaxation and actually alleviate depressed moods. I started attending Mesa School of Massage and received my Holistic Health Practitioner certificate. I began instructing the art of aromatherapy in 25-hour class sessions.
I have always been fascinated with the beauty industry as well and began attending school to earn my license to practice skin care. I felt that I had the best of both worlds--the ability to help people concerned with skin care issues but also providing relaxing treatments at the same time. I employ wholistic practices using organic products which allows people to experience the best quality skin care while relaxing at the same time.
I continue my desire of helping others using East/West modalities including Japanese Facial Massage by attending seminars and workshops.
I currently hold a Bachelor of Science in Holistic Nutrition, a California Licensed Aesthetician, Certified Aromatherapist, State Certified Massage Therapist and Holistic Health Practitioner. My approach to skin care is for deep relaxation while helping you achieve the best skin care possible.
