SHIRIN, Lead Aesthetician & Healer
Shirin first learned about the power of touch during an intensive few years as a physical therapist assistant in Northern Virginia. Her journey to skin care 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 was 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 skin care.

She is a proud graduate of the Northern Virginia School of Therapeutic Massage, member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals and an Old Dominion University Alum. Her approach is an integrated style of modalities to address the specific needs of her clients. Her specialties include swedish massage and deep tissue.

Demi, Aesthetician
Drawing on her expertise as a Master Aesthetics graduate of Aveda Institute of Washington, D.C., Demi’s main philosophy is: ingredients matter. Believing that each individual needs to discover a balance to achieve healthy, glowing, vibrant skin, Demi's goal is to assist in guiding the skin into a balance that achieves its fullest potential in beauty, health and strength. With many years of experience, Demi has seen and, in most cases, believes in the results of what the latest laser technologies can provide. However, if the health of the skin is neglected those wonderful ideas will never produce the results that they promise. Through each customized treatment, she strives to give her client the results they are seeking, while promoting deep relaxation.
Known for her thoroughness, she enjoys educating her guests about their skin, and how to maintain healthy skin holistically. Education and knowledge are equally as important to self as Demi continues to evolve her craft, and she continuously pursues diverse studies under the tutelage of Shirin. Demi's true passion is skin health and skin care, and being able to help someone feel relaxed, self-confident, and pampered is most rewarding for her. Demi truly values the connections she has with people, as it is those experiences that contribute to making her life meaningful.
Regina, Aesthetician
Regina has worked in a few different professions but never truly identified her passion until becoming an aesthetician. She studied at Dermal Science International in Reston, VA where she earned her certification as a Master Aesthetician. The foundation of her approach to skincare is that the skin is a reflection of one's overall health and well being. She tailors each service to the individual's specific needs and strives to support skin's innate knowledge with thoughtfully made, natural products.
A lifelong proponent of healing touch, she employs extended facial massage to bring out the skin's natural radiance and looks to empower client's to be their own skin's expert. Most importantly, she seeks to remind individuals that self-care is not selfish but an act of love necessary for total health. Regina continuously seeks out new scientific research on the skin and how it functions and the on-going study of global knowledge of health and wellness. She is also certified in the Elleebana Lash Lift system.
