What you see here is the skin in remembrance. 🪽

In just one session, layers of tension softened, circulation awakened, and the skin began to glow with the vitality it was always holding beneath the surface. These shifts are not created by force — they unfold when the body is given the safety, nourishment, and touch it’s been waiting for.

KPS formulas deliver true skin nutrition — organic, bioavailable, wild gathered nutrients and antioxidants that feeds the cells in ways the body can recognize and absorb.

When paired with intentional facial massage, the result is more than skin deep. Tension unravels. Stagnation clears.

Lymph and blood flow restore harmony.
The skin reflects this aliveness instantly,
showing us that healing doesn’t have to take years
— it can happen the moment the body feels supported.

This is why my ‘work’ is soul-led. It’s not just about treating the symptoms that arise. It’s about creating the right environment for the body to return to balance, for the
skin to soften, and for the nervous system to exhale.

When science and intuition meet in this way,
you see and feel the transformation.

The Sculptural Buccal Experience 🪽✨

These before and after photos reveal more than
aesthetic change. They reflect what happens when
the fascia, lymphatic system, and nervous system
are given space to release and return to balance.

Externally, the results are visible:
– A more sculpted, defined jawline
– Reduction in puffiness and fluid retention
– A softening of lines and tension patterns
– Balanced skin tone and renewed radiance
– An overall lifted, brighter, more open expression

Internally, the transformation runs deeper:
– Fascia release creates freedom from years of
clenching, stress, and stored emotion, allowing
the face to feel lighter and more expansive
– Lymphatic drainage clears stagnation and inflammation, supporting detoxification and restoring clarity to the skin
– Nervous system regulation shifts the body out
of survival mode into rest, repair, and deep restoration
– Emotional release naturally unfolds as layers of holding
begin to soften, reconnecting you with yourself on a
profound level

This work is often described as a “non-surgical facelift,”
but it is far more than that. It is a treatment that restores harmony to both the inner and outer body.

When fascia is freed, lymph flows with ease,
and the nervous system is calmed, the skin
becomes a true reflection of balance, vitality, and resilience.

The Sculptural Buccal Facial is not only about sculpting the face. It is about restoring wholeness, creating spaciousness, and allowing the essence of who you are to come forward with clarity and grace.

One of the best ways to fuel and replenish your body after any facial or Slimsage lymphatic drainage treatment is with a cold-pressed juice or wellness shot from Sip Juice Bar 🍋🥒

The Rocket Man wellness shot is incredible— made with ginger, lemon, honey, and cayenne. It’s amazing for boosting circulation, stimulating digestion, calming inflammation,
and giving your immune system a fiery kick of support.

The Dr. Feel Good is another favorite—packed with greens, lemon, ginger, apple, celery, and cucumber. This powerhouse blend helps alkalize the body, flood your cells with minerals, support gentle detoxification, and leave you feeling light and energized.

Pairing these juices with your treatment keeps your lymph, digestion, and skin working in harmony—because what you nourish within always shows up on the outside.

Book your next facial or Slimsage session at , then stop by to complete the ritual. Your body will thank you!

Growing up, my mom always gave everything she had to my sister, my dad, and me—rarely taking time for herself. One of the greatest blessings for me has been the chance to pamper her with a new routine and watch her feel truly empowered by it. It’s a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to begin a treatment plan, create a routine, and pour time and intention into caring for yourself and the people you love.

KPS Essentials is the skincare line I use in my treatments — but it’s truly so much more. KPS isn’t simply skincare; it’s deep skin nutrition. These formulas go far beyond the surface, delivering potent, organic nutrients your skin can actually absorb. The result? Real, visible changes—fading scars, calming inflammation, and turning back the clock
on signs of aging. With KPS, you’ll not only see your healthiest, most radiant skin—you’ll feel it, naturally.

Over the weekend, I had such a beautiful time connecting with the community during my pop-up at 🪽

I loved connecting face-to-face, sharing KPS Essentials mini facials, and introducing people to treatments and products that truly go beyond skin deep — helping the body return to a state of balance, vitality, and radiance.

A huge thank you to for welcoming me into your space again and for the energy you pour into creating a strong, supportive, and uplifting community. Collaborating with local businesses is truly one of my favorite parts of what I do — it’s the heartbeat of this city. When we come together, we lift each other up and create something bigger than ourselves.

Here’s to more moments of alignment, more connection, and more opportunities to help people feel deeply cared for in their own skin. 🤍

Your skin doesn’t need more steps.
It needs deeper support.

My facials are intentionally designed to restore and repair the skin barrier and microbiome using KPS Essentials—organic, food-grade, and wild-gathered formulas that deliver true skin nutrition.

KPS is not just skincare—it’s cellular nourishment. These treatments go beyond the surface, helping to calm inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and bring your skin back into a state of balance.

We avoid harsh acids, foaming agents, and anything that strips or disrupts. Instead, we hydrate, soothe, and rebuild. Every formula is bioavailable, meaning your skin actually absorbs the nutrients it needs to heal and function optimally.

Results include:
• Strengthened skin barrier
• Reduced inflammation and sensitivity
• Improved texture and tone
• A healthier, more resilient complexion

This is the foundation for long-term skin health—and it starts by simplifying, not overloading.

Let your skin reset and restore—naturally.

Postpartum mamas—this one’s for you.

After giving birth, your body goes through a massive recalibration: organs shifting back, fascia healing, hormones fluctuating, and lymphatic flow trying to find its rhythm again.

The Slimsage abdomen lymphatic drainage treatment gently supports this process—reducing residual inflammation, decongesting stagnant lymph, helping the body detox, and supporting the slow, steady return to internal balance.

This is not a quick-fix, it’s a restorative invitation for your nervous system and core to soften, reconnect, and begin healing from the inside out.

If you’re feeling disconnected from your center, struggling with bloat, swelling, or hormonal imbalances post-birth
—this is a safe, nurturing place to begin.

You deserve to feel at home in your body again.
I’d be honored to support you in this next chapter of healing.

Feeling heavy, bloated, or disconnected from your core?

Your abdomen is one of the body’s most vital centers for detoxification, digestion, hormone balance, and emotional storage. When this area becomes stagnant—especially from stress, hormonal shifts, poor elimination, or inflammation—it can feel like your whole system is off.

The Slimsage abdomen lymphatic drainage treatment is designed to gently open up the body’s detox pathways, decongest stagnant lymph, reduce bloat, and restore flow where your body may be holding tension or inflammation.

Many of my clients experience:
A lighter, feeling midsection
Relief from ovulation or hormonal bloating
Better digestion + reduced water retention
A deep sense of grounding and reconnection to the body

This treatment isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about supporting your body in coming back to balance from the inside out. If you’ve been feeling stuck, swollen, or inflamed—especially around your cycle—this is for you.

Limited availability in July.
Booking now for August + September.

Your skin is under pressure—every single day.

Pollution, blue light, processed food, microplastics, chemicals in our water, chronic stress, UV exposure, and poor sleep… These aren’t just modern stressors—they’re daily contributors to cellular damage. Each one introduces free radicals: unstable molecules that break down collagen, weaken your skin barrier, and trigger deep inflammation.

This isn’t just about “anti-aging.”
It’s about building resilience in a world that constantly challenges your body’s balance.

And your skin—your largest detox organ—
is often the first place that imbalance appears.

That’s why antioxidant support is no longer optional. It’s foundational.

Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and restore the skin to its natural state of homeostasis—clearer, calmer, and more radiant. But as we age, our natural antioxidant defenses decline. Add the environmental stress we’re exposed to daily, and it becomes even more essential to replenish these protective compounds through intentional, therapeutic skincare.

This isn’t about cosmetic perks.
It’s about supporting the long-term health and vitality of your skin.

If you’re noticing more redness, texture, dullness, or early signs of aging, your skin may be signaling that it needs deeper support—and this is where we begin.

Let’s restore your skin’s natural strength and luminosity from the inside out. Book your next facial and give your skin the foundational defense it deserves in the world we live in today.

Part 2: Where That Tension Goes To Be Set Free
So we melted the tension in that first session…

The jaw that’s been clenched for years — finally softened.
The cheeks that held pressure like armor — released.
The breath that stayed shallow — deepened.
And the face? It began to come back to life.

Because once that tension starts to dissolve,
everything changes.

Circulation floods in feeding your skin the oxygen and nutrients it’s been starved of. Lymph begins to move
draining inflammation, clearing stagnation, detoxing
from the inside out. And the fascia; the inner fabric
of your face starts to unwind and lift, naturally.

This is what Sculptural Buccal does:
It restores what chronic stress tried to steal.
It rewires your face back into safety.
It rewakens your glow from beneath the surface.

You don’t need more tightening.
You need softening.
You don’t need to fight aging.
You need to free your face from everything it’s been holding.

This is where beauty lives now — not in perfection,
but in presence. In softness. In circulation. In flow.

And the longer we stay consistent in this work,
the deeper it goes. Not just in your skin but
in your nervous system, your self-expression,
your sense of ease in your own body.

Your face remembers every expression it’s ever held.
Let’s help it remember softness, too.

It’s time to lift from within. See you soon.

Part 1: The Hidden Cost of Facial Tension….

Your face holds stories—and tension.
From jaw clenching and teeth grinding
to unprocessed emotions and chronic
stress, we carry so much in our facial muscles.

But here’s what most people don’t realize:

Chronic facial tension doesn’t just feel uncomfortable
— it physically weakens your skin’s foundation over time.

Tightness in the muscles and fascia compresses circulation, starving your skin of oxygen and nutrients. Without healthy blood flow, collagen and elastin production decline, hydration is reduced, and detoxification slows. This means your skin loses the very tools it needs to stay lifted, supple, and resilient.

Over time, this shows up as early signs of aging:
Hollowing under the eyes
Loss of cheek volume
Sagging jawline
Deep lines in high-tension areas

These aren’t random — they’re the result of structural
stress. And the sooner we support your fascia and
nervous system, the more gracefully your skin will age.

You deserve to feel at home in your body again.
Not puffy. Not sluggish. Not bloated or inflamed.

Your abdomen holds so much more than digestion.
It’s the center of your lymphatic system, your
immune health, your hormones, your nervous system.

And when things get stagnant here—everything feels harder. Your energy dips. Your skin breaks out. Your sleep gets disrupted. Your cycle feels heavier. Your belly feels
inflamed, even when you’re “doing everything right.”

This is where Slimsage abdominal treatments come in.
They support your body’s core detoxification pathways
helping your lymphatic system release trapped waste,
toxins, and inflammation that has been building beneath
the surface.

By clearing what’s congested, we create space for your organs to function optimally, your digestion to regulate,
your hormones to recalibrate, and your nervous system to finally exhale. It’s not just about feeling less bloated—it’s about restoring flow to the center of your being.

The signs that you need this kind of support?
Constant bloating
Constant water retention
Fatigue or brain fog
Lack of energy
Hormonal imbalances or irregular cycles
Sluggish bowel function / constipation
Belly weight that won’t budge
Breakouts on the cheeks, jaw, or between the brows

These symptoms aren’t random.
They’re your body asking for help.
Slimsage offers a path forward—
not just for symptom relief, but
deep regulation and reconnection.

Top benefits of Slimsage abdominal treatments:
Clears stagnant lymph + supports detox
Relieves bloating and fluid retention
Reduces inflammation and puffiness
Improves digestion + gut health
Balances the nervous system + supports hormone health

But the results are cumulative—this is not a one
and done. Most clients see the biggest shifts in
3–6 sessions, with each one building on the last.
If your body’s been calling for a reset—this is it.

DM to start your series or
use the link in bio to book your first.
You’re not meant to stay stuck.
This is the beginning of your release.
