✨ “I don’t just treat your skin. I listen to it.”
Where advanced skincare, emotional wellness, and intuitive healing meet.

Hi, I’m Chrystal—

Founder of Pure Spa Wellness and creator of SKINtuitive™ Esthetics™.

I don’t just treat the skin.
I listen to what it’s trying to say.

With over 30 years as a licensed esthetician and 20 years in trauma-focused mental health, I learned something most facials miss—
the skin always reflects what the nervous system is holding.

That’s why I created SKINtuitive™ Esthetics:
a blend of holistic skincare, energy work, intuitive mapping, and emotional-wellness insight that helps release stress patterns stored in the skin and body.

In my treatment room, you don’t have to choose between looking better and feeling better.

You get both.

Whether you’re here for a glow-up, a deep release, or a quiet moment to breathe, you’ll be met with grounded expertise, soulful presence, and zero judgment.

This work is personal.
It’s how I healed—and how I help others do the same.

If you’re ready to treat your skin
and honor the story underneath it—
you’re in the right place.

With deep care,
Chrystal
Founder • Licensed Esthetician • SKINtuitive™ Practitioner

After her second session, Kelly said: ‘I came in for skincare, but what I left with was emotional peace.’ She had struggled with hormonal breakouts tied to past grief. Using Reiki + a CBD detox facial, we gave her skin and spirit the reset she needed.”

Q: What should I expect when I book an appointment with Chrystal?

As a licensed Master Aesthetician, I specialize in Holistic, Cannabis, and Oncology Aesthetics. My treatments are non-medical, intuitive, and results-driven—suitable for all skin types and conditions.

Before your first session, we’ll engage in an in-depth consultation, exploring your skin goals, concerns, and current routine. Together, we’ll co-create a customized treatment plan and homecare ritual tailored just for you.
