Collagen talk usually stops at powders and serums — but as a Medical Herbalist, I love zooming out and looking at the bigger picture. ✨

Here are my 3 favourite everyday strategies to naturally support collagen, beyond the use of herbs:

Feed it (protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, leafy greens).

Stimulate it (facial massage = circulation + fibroblast activation).

Protect it (sunscreen = stopping breakdown before it starts).

Collagen loves consistency. A little daily attention goes a long way in supporting skin that feels vibrant, strong, and resilient as we age.

💛 Which of these practices do you already do? Which one would you like to add in?

September always feels like a reset month 🍂

A time when routines return, the air shifts, and our skin often asks for a little extra care.

This month’s newsletter — The Comfort of Routine — is all about grounding rituals for skin + body as we move into fall.

I send these out once a month with skin tips, herbal allies, and little updates from my practice. If you’d like to receive it, just DM me your email address or comment below 💌

Here’s to routines that feel nourishing inside + out. 💛

Love,
Brit

Your skin is as unique as you are — it shifts with the seasons, your hormones, your stress levels, even how well you slept last night. That’s why I believe every facial should be customized.

In my holistic practice, no two facials are ever the same. I work with several carefully chosen skincare lines so I can draw from multiple options and create the best match for your skin’s needs that day.

That might mean skipping exfoliation for a rosacea protocol, or pairing two masks together to address combination skin and multiple concerns. Sometimes it looks like doubling up on serums — the most expensive part of the treatment — because your skin will truly benefit from the synergy of both. For me, it’s never about cost, it’s about meeting your skin where it’s at.

Each session also begins with a cup of custom-blended herbal tea, prepared specifically for your skin and whole-body needs. And sometimes I’ll spend more time in massage if that’s what your nervous system is calling for — because your skin and your nervous system are not separate, they deeply influence one another.

Your facial should be customized because it’s for you, not someone else.

✨ Big News from Camellia ✨

There’s a new (and very adorable) addition to the team… Meet Elliot, our Executive Assistant of Snuggles, Break-Times, and General Cuteness.
🐾💛 Steve and I didn’t exactly plan for a puppy right now, but it was love at first sight — and we’re completely smitten.

So, what does this mean for Camellia? Elliot will mostly be hanging out in his own part of the house while I’m working, but since this is a cozy home practice, he’s part of the household too. If you’d enjoy a quick puppy hello, just say the word. Otherwise, he’ll be “off duty” during your visit. 🐾✨

A couple of little notes for clients:

🌿 If you have a pet allergy, Camellia may not be the right fit, despite my best efforts to keep things spotless (Elliot won’t have access to the facial room, but since this is his home too, I can’t promise a completely pet-free environment).

🌿 If you’re sensitive to animals or simply prefer a puppy-free zone, please let me know — I’ll make a note on your file, and Elliot’s official sitter (aka Steve) will 100% be on duty during your session.

Thanks for being here through this new chapter with me. 💛 Elliot is already excelling at his assistant duties (mostly in morale boosting and napping on the job).

✨ Client Love ✨

“I knew I needed that but didn’t realize how much. You just filled my mama tank for the week, and that’s big.” — Nicole 💛

Hearing this from Nicole meant so much. She came in for a facial and left feeling supported, nourished, and educated about every step of her routine. I love guiding my clients through what their skin truly needs — and why — so they can leave feeling confident and cared for.

With September around the corner, it’s easy to put yourself last. A facial can be such a simple but powerful reset — a chance to recharge your skin and your spirit.

I’ve opened up some evening (Tues & Thurs, 5/5:30 pm) and weekend spots (Saturdays, and Sundays by request). If you’ve been needing a pause or a reset, I’d love to welcome you in.

📋 Mondays at Camellia

Mondays are my day for diving deep into your Skin Health Plans — a time set aside for research, writing, and making sure every detail is tailored just for you.

These plans are so much more than skincare tips. They’re in-depth, customized guides designed to address what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Lately, I’ve been supporting women with:

✨ Hyperpigmentation (sun spots, melasma)
✨ Rosacea
✨ Hair loss
✨ Premature aging
✨ Collagen + elasticity support
✨ Hormonal balance (including PCOS + endometriosis)

These concerns often show up on the skin — but they very rarely start there.

Recently, I’ve been weaving in Traditional Chinese Face Mapping (never to diagnose, simply to offer insight), and the connections have been incredible:

🌿 Liver congestion or burden → between the eyebrows
🌿 Hormonal imbalance → jawline
🌿 Gut issues → forehead, upper cheeks, around the mouth
🌿 Cardiovascular health → nose

It’s a reminder that the skin is not a separate story from the rest of your body — it’s one of your body’s ways of communicating with you.

Through these plans, we create a roadmap together — blending herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation — so many of my clients arrive not feeling vibrant on the inside, and my goal is to help them reconnect with that inner vitality…so their skin can reflect the health and vibrancy they feel inside.

Today, I’m happily spending my Monday putting you at the forefront — your health, your concerns, your goals, and your dreams for your skin. 💛

✨“I feel like a new woman — seriously.”✨

That’s what Jaimie, a Registered Nurse, said walking out of her facial.

Later, she messaged me:

“I had the best experience and learned so much from you. My face is GLOWING like I’ve never seen — and that was only the beginning. I felt so welcome and calm the entire time. Wow, I’m blown away.”

This kind of feedback means the world to me — not just because her skin was glowing, but because she felt deeply cared for.

My facials aren’t just about topical skincare — they’re about nervous system support, hormonal harmony, gut-skin connection, and taking time to truly nourish yourself. 💆‍♀️💛

If you’re craving that kind of reset — inside and out — I’d love to welcome you in.

Back from some time away & a five-day hiking trip in the Rockies (Mt. Assiniboine provincial park), and while it was stunning, it was also a little grueling!

So… I balanced things out by squeezing in some “research time” (aka facials — for work, of course). Steve rolls his eyes with a little smile when I call it research, but hey, it counts!

One of the highlights was a facial at Remedy Advanced Esthetics in Banff. I booked their Holistic Bespoke Facial and wow — truly the best facial I’ve had. Emma, the esthetician, was incredible.⁠

What made it so good? The whole experience, but mostly the facial massage. Slow, thoughtful, grounding — exactly the kind of work I’m leaning into more. I’ll be starting some myofascial face massage training in September and this really confirmed that I’m on the right path.⁠

I also got to try a new line — Laurel Skin, based out of California. I’m always keeping my product selections as local and small-batch as possible, but I’m open to trying things that feel aligned. I’ve been using their Brilliant Cellular Defense Balm — 28 whole plant oil extracts and just a bit of beeswax. That’s it. And that’s plenty. Especially for sensitive skin.⁠

Not sure yet if I’ll bring the line in, but it’s important to me to try things firsthand. I want to offer products and treatments that feel as close to the earth as possible.⁠

I used to feel like I had to do all the trainings and certifications (and don’t get me wrong, I’ve done many and I love those too), but this path has also been about learning through experience. Through receiving. Through paying attention. And this trip gave me a little of all of that.⁠

Excited to see some of you again soon. 💗

Feeling so grateful for this beautiful feedback from Sam! ✨

One of my favourite things about holistic facials is how they go beyond obvious skincare - it’s about deep relaxation, connection, and giving your skin (and self) some real care. I love hearing that Sam felt this relaxed and that her glow lasted for weeks!

Thank you, Sam, for your kind words and for sharing your experience. 💛

If you’ve been curious about holistic facials, I’d love to welcome you in! ✨🌿
