Skin Care

• The primary skin care line I use is Tu'El, a division of Eva's Esthetics, based in Oakland. This a very vibrant line of products which contain no parabens or synthetic fragrances. The cleansing oil/toner combo is nothing short of glorious in my opinion!
• There are a number of components that go into having beautiful, healthy skin.
  The current condition of our skin is mostly determined by genetics, previous sun exposure, diet and lifestyle. Taking care of our skin, beginning at any age, can significantly slow down the aging process and create a soft, glowing, healthy appearance - and the truth is - it is easy.

• So what does it take...?
  Regular facials and a simple home routine!

• In my studio I offer complimentary skin consultations to determine the health and condition of your skin and to decide on the appropriate treatment and home care.

• Facials are customized to each individual client, eliminating the need for a long menu and expensive add-ons.
  Anti-aging, acne or maintenance all come under one price, so each facial will be customized for you that day. Please allow 2 hours for your first treatment and 1 1/2 hours for subsequent treatments. This allows you time to change, have a consultation and settle in for a fabulous one hour facial!

Facials

• Every facial treatment includes:
• Cleansing
  A two step deep pore cleanse.

• Refining
  Exfoliation, followed by extractions when necessary, helps your skin look and feel smoother as well as helping products penetrate.

• Nourishing
  Vitamin C, essential oils, serums and anti-oxidants are used both in treatments and in home care.

• Hydrating
  All skin needs moisture, whether it is dry, combo or oily, acne, young or not so young.

• Lubricating
  A cream for drier skins to seal in the moisture and prevent dehydration from the evaporation of water in the top layers of our skin.

• Protecting
  Sun protection, every day, year round is essential for every skin type to protect from harmful UV rays, the leading causes of skin cancer and accelerated aging.

Body Waxing

• Waxing leaves your face and body smooth and stubble free and is much less irritating than shaving (especially the bikini area!).
  New hair grows in very fine and soft at the tip.

• For maximum hair removal, it is important to have three weeks of out-growth before your initial waxing.
  Waxing hurts more the first time than any other time because if you are waxed regularly, less hair is removed each time. It takes the longest the first time and is the most successful when done every four weeks providing you do not shave or tweeze in between sessions. More sensitivity is often experienced during menstruation and pregnancy

• I use high quality waxes which are designed to protect your skin during the process, thus causing less redness and irritation.
  Regular waxing and proper home care will minimize any tendency toward reactions such as ingrowns or breakouts.

• Please avoid sun, chlorine, sauna, and deodorant for at least 12 hours after waxing.

• Waxing is contraindicated if you have diabetes or if you are using Retin- A or Accutane (or have stopped taking it less than a year ago)

Prenatal/Postpartum

• Mothers come first in my book
  expectant moms, new moms, teen moms, step moms and grandmas. If we nurture mothers, then our children will be truly cared for. It is hard, sometimes impossible to take care of others if we don't take care of ourselves first. Every mother works tremendously hard to parent well and lovingly from the moment she becomes pregnant to the day her child leaves home - and beyond. Parenting is a physical, mental and emotional challenge with all the accompanying laughter and tears. Through massage, bodywork and skin care, I provide a way for women to nurture and support themselves during this extraordinary time called motherhood.

• Pregnant women often gain 25 - 40 pounds or more in a mere 9 months.
  This weight gain combined with drastically changing hormones can amount to considerable physical and emotional discomfort and much moodiness at times! Centering and calming touch is vital to a mother's psychological and physiological well-being, helping her adapt to her new body image. In many cultures massage is an integral part of prenatal care, an important way for women to care for themselves during pregnancy.

• And let's not forget the new mom.
  Postpartum massage is designed to help restore your body to it's pre-pregnancy condition and to address the demands of breastfeeding and the physical and emotional stresses of carrying and caring for a newborn.

• Please allow 90 minutes for your appointment to give us time to discuss your health status and review useful exercises and stretches.

Massage

• "Bridget's massages have sustained me through two pregnancies: both as a treat when I'm tired and heavy as well as for specific aches and pains. In the eighth month of my second pregnancy the pain in my back worsened, getting to the point where I could no longer sit at my computer (and I needed to finish that chapter before the baby arrived!) I called Bridget. ...she asked careful questions about my pain, both before and during my massage and - as usual - was very attentive and attuned to my specific aches and needs. After she finished working on the hurting side, it seemed to feel inches longer than the other side: she had completely ironed out the tension and the cramped muscles. I have no idea how she did it, but 5 weeks later, my pain has not returned."
