Minette Mederios

Licensed Esthetician

Minette has been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. Putting herself through studies in Art HIstory at UC Berkeley, doing make-up part time, she fell in love and stayed in the industry where she wore many hats. 

Later in life her passion for holistic living sparked different thoughts about make-up, skin-care, and health, so she followed another path to help heal her clients and went back to school. 

She studied Esthetics and Massage at Aveda Institute and has a passion for healing through touch and clean ingredients. She is certified in Gua Sha facial massage and loves to continue to learn about new healing techniques. Her goal is to help her clients achieve optimal relaxation, knowledge about their skin, and a sense of well being during every treatment.
