Hello, friends.

After a whirlwind year, I have planted my “garden” and opened a skin + beauty studio here in downtown Martinsburg. I can’t begin to tell you how much this means to me to build a dream in my hometown. Here are just a few of the joys I have ahead:

1. Emma and I have more quality time together and building special memories as she grows into the amazing teen she is blossoming into.
2. No longer on the road in long commutes. Biking, even walking are within my reach of healthy, sustainable living practices.
3. A deeper connection into the roots of my childhood and ancestors. The studio in on the same street (Burke) that I grew up on with fond memories and around the corner from my Grandparents shop on the town square.
4. More intentional time to cultivate my mindfulness practices and long desired creative expansions.

The studio is a place to relax, restore, rebalance and renew the inner glow and healing within.

I invite you to come visit for facial and body treatments by scheduling an appointment at link in bio.

The moment has finally arrived - @museskinandbeauty now has a home.

Stay tuned…..

/ E A R T H S O N G /
“The earth is our origin and destination. The ancient rhythms of the earth have insinuated themselves into the rhythms of the human heart. The earth is not outside us; it is within: the clay from where the tree of the body grows. When we emerge from our offices, rooms and houses, we enter our natural element. We are children of the earth: people to whom the outdoors is home. Nothing can separate us from the vigour and vibrancy of this inheritance. In contrast to our frenetic, saturated lives, the earth offers a calming stillness. Movement and growth in nature takes time. The patience of nature enjoys the ease of trust and hope. There is something in our clay nature that needs to continually experience this ancient, outer ease of the world. It helps us remember who we are and why we are here.”~ John O'Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace

Strolling through a magical moment in the cedar grove, the sound of movement and the kaleidoscope created was truly awe inspiring.

If a bunny can be brave, and a hound can be gentle, why can’t we?
