SHIRIN, Energy Healer, Spiritual Guide & Lead Aesthetician
Shirin first learned about the power of touch during her transformative years as a physical therapist assistant in Northern Virginia. Her journey to skincare began after a life-changing experience that proved the universe had different plans for her.
At that same time, Shirin was being led down the path of ministry as well. She was ordained as an interfaith minister by The New Seminary and further deepened her spiritual practice by being attuned as a Reiki master by Carol Willa Dunning from The Center of Being in 2004. Combining these passions helped her incorporate Integrated Energy Therapy in her skincare.
This unique blend of physical and spiritual healing has enabled Shirin to infuse her skincare practice with Integrated Energy Therapy, Guided Meditation, Shamanic Journeying, Sound Healing and Past Life Regression to create a holistic approach that transcends conventional boundaries. Her work serves as a testament to her passion for nurturing both the body and the soul, guiding her clients towards radiant skin and balanced energy.

Whether this is in a holistic sense or an advanced treatment sense, I greatly enjoy finding the best method of balance and treatment for everyone. I am currently enrolled in a degree program that focuses on Holistic Healing and Integrative medicine, and I hope to incorporate this kind of healing with not only soul comforting practices but easing the pressures of perfect skin.

I am devoted to providing a safe space, noticeable results, and whole-body healing for all my clientele.”

CHRISTINA, Aesthetician
After spending eight years in government contracting, I knew I needed to make a change. I longed for a career that felt more aligned with my passion for self-care, wellness, and helping others feel their best. That journey led me to aesthetics, where I found my true calling in skincare and holistic healing.
With five years of experience in the aesthetics industry, I have developed expertise in facials, lasers, and advanced medical treatments. While I’ve worked extensively with cutting-edge technology, my heart has always been drawn to a more holistic approach—one that nurtures not just the skin but the entire well-being of my clients.
I put my heart and soul into every treatment, blending science with intention. Whether it’s a customized facial or advanced skin treatments, my goal is to create a transformative and healing experience.
A little about me—I grew up on a farm, where I developed a deep appreciation for nature and holistic living. In my downtime, I’m a gym girlie who loves staying active, and I’m always on the hunt for new and delicious foods to try!
Your skin tells a story, and I’m here to help you honor it—gently, and with intention. I look forward to being a part of your self-care journey!
