About

I have been practicing the art of esthetics since 1997.  The therapeutic nature of this work inspired me to broaden my skill set with a certification in reflexology and Reiki attunements (levels 1-3) in 2000, followed by an apprenticeship program with a Shaman in 2012 and teacher training of S Factor feminine sensual movement in 2014.  I am currently the co-owner of Retreat:  A Skin & Hair Studio in San Francisco.

After two decades in this industry I'm still fascinated by the exciting advances in skin care technologies and ingredients, and am inspired by the body and spirit’s natural healing abilities when given the nourishment it needs (nutritionally, energetically and spiritually).

I enjoy exploring, creating and participating in projects and activities that inspire and empower women to embrace the inherent beauty and wisdom that lies within.  

 

I’ve been seeing Kim for my facials for many years now. From the very first treatment, my experience was beyond positive. And different from facials I’d had previously. Kim is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled in all things related to skin care, she is also caring, intuitive and generous. I found myself looking forward to getting a facial the same way I’d look forward to getting a massage (ok, maybe not so much the extractions, but everything else!) It wasn’t just my face that felt nurtured and cared for, and when I learned that Kim also did Reiki, I understood why. Kim is a healer. I also started going to her for reiki sessions when I needed help with a grieving process, stress and overwhelm, or just to get grounded and gain more clarity about my life. Whether a facial or a reiki treatment, I have always found it to be a transformative experience.
