Erica
Esthetician

Hello, I’m Erica. I’ve been an esthetician for over 15 years. It is my goal to make my clients feel welcomed, relaxed, and cared for. I specialize in any type of skincare, but I have a passion for finding the unique root cause of your acne problems and treating them from the inside out using Osmosis skincare and wellness. I make it a priority to invest in continuing education for more medical aesthetics, including therapies such as Plasma Fibroblast and Skin Classic treatments. My services extend to waxing, eyelash enhancements, and eyelash extensions. I would love to meet you, and I invite you to relax on my table for some amazing beauty and wellness treatments.

Wellness Therapist
Alice
Alice
Wellness Therapist

I am an Integrative and Intuitive therapist, and my work begins where I find the point in stillness! I work at the intersection of structure (body/mind) and energy (emotions/soul), where I invite your autonomic nervous system to switch from a sympathetic (fight or flight) to a parasympathetic (rest and reset) homeostasis state.

I blend 23 years of experience, techniques, and tools in each unique session as I tune into the language your body and soul speak; we have a conversation, and then we have a healing session. I act as a pure conduit for you to enter into your natural healing state.

  • Each session is what my clients refer to as the “wombo combo,” which is a blend of:
  • Still point therapy
  • Thermal therapy (warm lava stones, warm Himalayan salt stones, or warm bamboo sticks)
  • Basic Swedish and Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi massage to awaken your circulatory and lymphatic systems
  • Applied kinesiology (muscle testing)

Still point therapy is a lot like what it sounds like. A still point is a pause in your cranial rhythm which stills the chatter in your mind and allows your central nervous system to rest and reset itself. The sensation is similar to dreaming, deep relaxation, or deep meditation. This pairs beautifully with thermal therapy, which invites the muscles to open up for deeper therapy without force, acting as the perfect prelude to massage. Finally, applied kinesiology is used to assess whether your body wants and/or needs any aromatherapy to enhance your experience.

I also specialize in prenatal massage with the use of a belly cut-out table. It’s a beautiful experience for you to lay face down for a moment in time, creating an anti-gravity sensation for baby and spine! I also offer acupressure and still point therapies that relax the body and can naturally induce labor (with your doctor’s consent at the natural due date)! I have been lovingly called the ‘baby whisperer’ by mothers and birth professionals who have crossed my path. I am also finishing my certifications as a birth doula and post-partum & loss doula. I love speaking this beautiful natural birth language.

I am honored to be at Syrah’s table for you and yours!
