I’m Monika, expert aesthetician and skin whisperer.

It takes more than just a cookie-cutter approach to skin care to create lasting change. I’m here to give you the right tools and treatments to give you the skin you’ve always dreamed of, in a way that feels both indulgent and manageable.

My background and experience:

I have almost 30 years of experience as an esthetician in the San Francisco/Bay Area but am continuously learning, growing, and enhancing my skills. I’m passionate about bringing the very best to my clients.

I’ve come to see firsthand the power of technology combined with an integrative approach and that has shaped my unique process.

What is Integrative Skin Care?

Integrated skin care is a holistic approach to caring for the skin using natural remedies and products, while taking advantage of innovative ingredients and technologies like led light, and hydrodermabrasion.

The combination creates both instant and long-lasting results.

What a 75 or 90-Minute Session Looks Like:

I only see one client at a time in my sanctuary space. That means no awkward waiting room moments or concern that you’ll see a different provider each time you visit.

✨ We’ll begin each session by looking at your skin and talking about goals

✨ I’ll customize your treatment for the day, let you know which therapies I plan to use, answer any questions, and get to work while you relax your cares away.

✨ We’ll end the session with at home recommendations and products, with 0 high-pressure sales.

You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and confident in your skin.

My approach to skin care is right for you if:

✓ You’ve had stubborn skin issues and have tried every product on the market to fix it to no avail

✓ You can’t find a regimen that brings lasting results You’re tired of leaving your facial appointments with a slick, red, or blotchy face

✓ You don’t like spending a lot of time and money on Estheticians that take a one size fits all approach to skincare, leaving you right back where you started

✓ You want a non-pushy approach to skin care treatments and recommendations for products and supplements

Facials!!!! She is the ABSOLUTE BEST.
You feel like you get every last cents worth. Massage and care is beyond and I always come out feeling like she has literally taken me to the calmest place. My skin is noticeably different, supple, and just loved when I leave her. She cares about every single aspect and recommends products that you need and can afford by priority and explains every last one of them. Its like your sister is taking care of you. I cannot recommend Allora Skin Care enough. You will not regret it.
