Hi, I’m Ivy!
.
I’ve been a licensed esthetician since 2007, and a Licensed Massage therapist since 2009. I had a huge life transformation in 2015—after a personal health scare shifted the way I viewed skin, health, and healing. Like many practitioners, I started with the usual services that we are conditioned to think is the only way to get results: peels, microdermabrasion, and aggressive exfoliation. But I became disheartened by the long-term effects I was seeing—thinner, more reactive skin, increased pigmentation, and chronic dehydration. It didn’t sit right with me. Skin shouldn’t just look good after a treatment—it should function better over time.
That turning point led me deep into the study of holistic and restorative facial therapies. Since then, I’ve trained extensively in techniques that support the skin from the inside out—addressing the fascia (which is truly the structure of our skin and what holds everything up), lymphatic system, and nervous system as essential players in skin health. My work includes advanced facial sculpting, intraoral (buccal) massage, facial cupping, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, and fascia release—all integrated to bring lasting radiance and true skin vitality.
With more and more information coming out regarding the safety of botox and how fillers migrate and never really dissolve, ending up blocking the lymphatic system, I have built my whole practice on getting natural lasting results in a way that is not only healthy for the skin, but the brain and nervous system which all plays a huge part in how we age.
I also offer Qi Beauty treatments, a deeply intelligent modality that helps reprogram skin function on a cellular level—reviving how skin heals, hydrates, and regenerates itself.
Every product I use is intentionally chosen: organic, botanical-rich, and bioavailable to the skin. My approach is results-driven, but always in service of your skin’s long-term health—not temporary fixes.
Education is a core value in my practice. I love teaching clients about their skin, fascia, and lymph—and empowering them with tools to care for themselves between sessions. I have also started a journey into teaching these modalities to other estheticians and massage therapists as this type of work is really becoming more main stream.
My goal is to walk alongside you on your skin journey, helping you feel informed, radiant, and confident in your skin—every step of the way.
UPDATE- I am reopening my business in Kailua on Oahu after being away for a few years. I also have a busy business in San Diego and go there once a month to work with my regular clients. Anyone booking on my site must be in Hawaii to book online. I have a waiting list for San Diego so please text me to see my availability there. Mahalo
