BUTTERFLY ESTHETICS · SANTA CRUZ
"It's what I'm NOT doing that matters the most.©"
A private botanical skincare practice in Santa Cruz.
Every session begins where you are.
No menu, no protocol, we don't break skin down — we build it up.
We start with an honest conversation about your skin, what outcome you desire for your skin, and where it currently sits to find the direction that I will take to heal and bring your skin back to functioning properly.
22 years of knowing exactly what to do next.
THE PHILOSOPHY
The layer everyone is removing is the layer you need most.
Your epidermal barrier is alive, it’s not a dead layer. It is your skin's native intelligence, its protector, its gatekeeper. If it’s broken down daily by harsh ingredients, abrasives, acids, enzymes, and aggressive treatments, your skin has to spend all of its resources repairing this damage instead of building Collagen and Elastin for longevity.
When your barrier is intact and functioning, it will heal itself. Your skin is alive and wants to be whole, give it what it needs and it will return to health. Your skin, particularly your epidermis, is where your skin holds moisture and radiates health. There is a depth, a 3D space you can look in to, not just at, you see the life force that is located within. This is what healthy skin looks like. This is what is restored with care, precision and botanical preparations.

Returning clients
Welcome back.
Every Session is Singular
There are standard treatments. No menu to choose from, no protocol applied to every client. What happens in my room is built entirely around you and your skin, where it is today, and where it needs to go. I have never given the same facial twice.
