We hope we’re not the only ones!
Sometimes the best thing you can do for a stressed body is pause….and reset. And let someone else take care of you for a change!
Our facials aren’t rushed or repetitive, they’re calm, and built around what your skin is asking for. These are the kinds of treatments that soften your nervous system just as much as it brightens your complexion.
If you’ve been carrying around some extra weight lately, this is your reminder that you’re allowed to shed it. Even if it’s just for an hour.
Secure your hour of stress-free relaxation today at nanaimoelements.ca 🌿

Because here, your skin care is intentional ✨
Facials aren’t about the luxury, it’s about slowing down long enough to listen to what your skin needs.
When you give your skin what it’s missing instead of just guessing, you’re building results that last longer than any trend ever will.
Choosing regular facials means choosing confidence, longevity, and care that goes way deeper than the surface.
If you love facials that feel like therapy for your skin, you’re in the right place 🌿

When was the last time you slowed down, and listened to your skin?
In a world that pushes quick fixes, overloaded routines, and the next “miracle” product, your skin responds best to something much simpler:
Intentional care, consistency, and choices that actually support your skin’s long-term health.
At the spa, we take a slower, more mindful approach. One that looks at your skin and your lifestyle, your stress levels, your routines, and what your skin genuinely needs right now.
No overwhelm. No pressure. No 12-step routines.
Just thoughtful treatments, personalized product recommendations, and results that feel good on your skin and your nervous system.
If you’re craving skincare that’s calmer, clearer, and more aligned with you, you’re in the right place.

How to break the impulsive skincare loop👇🏻
When shopping for skincare, shop with purpose not impulse. Focus on product benefits, brand values, and ingredients over scents, cute packaging, or the newest trending product.
Guess less. Understand more. The skincare world can be easily overwhelming. Thousands of brands, thousands of products, and thousands of options on the right and wrong way to do things. Start by understanding your skin type, and the current concerns you’re facing.
Consistency beats complexity. When it comes to skincare, more doesn’t always equal better. With a natural approach, results come from long-term commitment to a routine, tailored to you. Even if it’s simple!
Realize your skin is unique. Yes, we can share skin types but at the end of the day, no else has YOUR skin. And your skin deserves customization when it comes to your skincare routine, and your treatments.
At Elements, we customize each facial service just for you and your needs. If you’re ready to treat your skin with intention over impulse, you’re in the right place…

Your routine doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective, it just needs to be consistent and aligned with what your skin actually needs.
Here are the quiet, often-overlooked signs your skin is responding well to your products:
✨ A calmer barrier - no tightness, tingling or dryness
✨ Fewer surprise breakouts - less often, and heal quicker
✨ Softer texture - makeup sits nicer, and you notice it feels smoother when you wash it.
✨ More balanced hydration - your skin stays hydrated through the day without feeling like you need to reapply
✨ A more predictable skin week-to-week - you’re starting to take note of warning signs and noticing overall improvement.
When your skincare starts to feel effortless, grounded, and steady… that’s your proof it’s working.
At the spa, we focus on slow beauty, intentional routines, and skin health that lasts — no overwhelm, and no chasing quick fixes.
If you want a routine built for your skin, and your long-term results, we’d love to see you! 🌿

This is where slow beauty thrives. It’s less about adding more, and more about choosing what actually moves the needle for your skin + nervous system.
Simple. Purposeful. Transformative.

Nanaimo Elements first opened its doors in the spring of 2013.
After operating aesthetic salons for more than 30 years in Nanaimo, most recently in a home-based environment, I yearned for a greater vision. I envisioned a Holistic Centre where clients could access services and products representing the intersection of health and beauty. The very best in aesthetic services, product lines at the forefront of skincare technology with an organic focus, and access to complementary paramedical services such as Registered Massage Therapy – all of this in a beautiful upscale salon.
In a few short years, Elements has become the destination for health and beauty in Nanaimo. We are proud to be voted "Best of the City" in the Aesthetics, Massage and Spa categories. We are already one of the top distributors of our flagship skincare product lines: Laboratoire Dr Renaud and Eminence Organics. And we have recently started to carry the internationally renowned line, Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. We have a wonderful team of service providers and support staff, and continue to offer only the very best in products and services.
I have been practicing as a professional aesthetician since 1981; a time when the industry was appropriately regulated and before the days of mass marketed skincare products promising miracles. Success in skincare requires patience and commitment – it is not instantaneous. 50% of a successful outcome relates to consistent use of appropriate and effective product (including sunscreen), and the balance to regular and ongoing attention from a professional aesthetician.
I am personally fully booked, but I have a wonderful team of aestheticians who work collaboratively with me to ensure my standards are always met.
We constantly strive to improve, with an unprecedented focus on ongoing training and development for our staff. Our goal is simple – to offer our clients a superior experience – the best in professional services and products and exceptional value. Thank you to our wonderful clients for making this vision come true.
