Grisel's Esthetics journey started in 2015 when she went through a challenging personal time. During this time, she developed cystic acne at thirty-five as big pustules covered her jawline and part of her neck. She went through a couple of dermatologists and ENTs who only prescribed her medication and chemical peels. However, her acne still was coming back. Doctors never asked about intrinsic factors that might be triggering her acne. She felt like she was wasting money and not getting results. Her acne also tended to make her feel ashamed and isolated because she did not feel confident going out with her face covered in acne.
In turn, she decided to go to esthetics school to learn how to deal with her skin condition. She hoped she would know how to get rid of her acne once and for all.
Unfortunately, that was not the case. Esthetics school prepared her for conventional modalities, microdermabrasion, conventional facials, chemical peels, etc. Conventional treatments were not working for her, and her skin was worsening; not knowing what to do next. She is thankful she went to school to get her license, but something was still missing. That's when her research started, and she discovered the holistic approach to skincare, understanding the importance of treating the skin from the inside out to have an external beautiful result. From this point, Grisel got certified in different ancient techniques that help to improve the flow of energy around the body and help clear up the stagnation underneath the skin to bring balance to the skin's needs.
One of the analogies Grisel uses is to "Imagine a tangled water hose, and you are waiting on the other end for the water to come out, but you are barely getting water. It starts to build up, causing some tension. It does not flow freely; it must be untangled to circulate the water through the hose." That is what happens underneath the skin when the lymph does not flow freely and gets stagnated.
Grisel is certified in Nefeli Gua Sha, a Traditional Chinese Medicine, Facial Cupping, Dien Chang Zone (Facial Reflexology), Oncology Trained, and Acne Specialist Certified. These techniques improve blood circulation and free the energetic channels, which allow the body to feel released and energized emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Grisel's mission is to treat the skin without compromising the skin barrier. She will provide simple tools and knowledge so you can apply them in your everyday skincare routine. In her treatment room, you will feel relaxed and connected.
