Case study

Facial massage transformation.

This guest was experiencing a loss of facial volume and elasticity due to natural aging factors. I worked with this client for 3 weeks treating her once a week for 60 minutes. By using deep facial tissue massage paired with intraoral/buccal release I was able to relieve muscle tension and increase blood & lymph circulation to improve overall skin health.

  • Facial Sculpting & Flow

    “I recently took the gua sha, facial cupping, and facial massage training course with Kim and had the most amazing experience! Her techniques proved to show amazing results. My model and I were in awe at how amazing and sculpted our faces were. I left feeling so confident and excited to try these new techniques.”

    — Taylor, Martel Aesthetics

  • Intro to Gua Sha

    Kim is a true master of her craft! She walks you through every step with easy-to-grasp knowledge and inspires you to move with intention. I loved how she did the movements on me first so I could get a true feel for what I was learning. I left so confidently that I could offer this practice to my clients! An excellent educator and mentor!”

    — Antoinette, Achelois Esthetics

  • Business Formation & Set-Up

    “We truly enjoyed working with Kim as we built out our salon. As long-time service providers but first-time salon owners, Kim was such a great resource. She had us covered from the front to the back of the salon; from the build-out, operations, hiring, policies, and logistics. She is very professional and timely with responses. With her broad range of experience, we will definitely be working with her again on future projects!
