about me, Jenn Harris…

licensed aesthetician #4027-86, licensed massage therapist #2732-146

At an early age I was guided by a passion to work with people and to help them feel BETTER. Introduced to the beautiful healing art that is massage in the year 2000, it has become my life's work... until I was challenged with acne in my mid thirties (another one of what I like to call lessons in empathy from the universe). I became fascinated with skincare and how I could incorporate it into the work I already do. Admittedly, I once thought that facials were frivolous and unnecessary (we can all wash our own face, right?!) But they are so much more than that! For starters, the procedures and ingredients/products that, as a licensed professional, I can access and use for your treatments, can deliver RESULTS! And there is an amazing psychological factor that really married massage and aesthetics for me: When we feel good, even if it is ‘just’ because we look better, our internal chemistry changes, and we experience reduced pain, anxiety, stress. When we feel radiant, we truly are radiant. So, if you'd like to shine a little brighter, I would be honored to be a part of your journey. Below is the educational and experiential journey that I have been on.
