Meet Your Esthetician

I’m Valerie (LMT, LE, Board Certified from NCBTMB, MLD Certified) – science nerd, skincare junkie, esthetician, and your go-to for all things glow. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Biomedical Engineering, at Washington University in St. Louis, and planning for medical school, I bring a unique blend of science and passion to skincare & self-care. 

 My journey has been quite unique. Shortly before my graduation from Saint Louis University with a dual major in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering, I enrolled in massage therapy and esthetic programs out of curiosity. My passion for holistic medicine was deeply inspired by witnessing my grandmother’s stroke rehabilitation journey. I am a strong advocate for integrating traditional Eastern principles with modern Western medicine & science, believing that their collaboration can lead to more comprehensive and effective wellness solutions. 

I’m dedicated to helping clients feel their best with customized, science-backed treatments that soothe and rejuvenate, whether it’s a post-op Manual Lymphatic Drainage session or a relaxing facial. 

I believe glowing skin and cozy vibes go hand in hand, which is why I love baking sweet treats, diving into a good book, or trying out new recipes when I’m not in the treatment room. Whether you’re after skincare tips or just need a little self-care inspo, I’m here to help you look and feel your absolute best!
