Zio Skin Spa

Is it okay not to love everything about yourself? YES. It actually is. Are you surprised by my answer? Let me explain:

Everyday I see clients who are intelligent, beautiful, creative, nurturing and deeply interesting humans. They tell me about their skin and what they’d like to change and improve. Does that mean that person doesn’t love themselves or value their qualities? No. It means they have wishes and desires about how they feel when they see their reflection in a mirror. And that’s ok🙏🏻

You have permission to wish your skin was brighter and more even, you have the authority to change the color of your hair, you have the power to decide you want fuller, bolder eyebrows. It’s ok if you don’t love your wrinkles, it’s ok if you don’t love your sun damage, it is ok to want to feel more confident in the skin you are in. Sometimes letting ourselves say: “I don’t like this or that about myself, but I still think I’m an awesome human” is a good practice.

And this is why: the root issue isn’t wishing you had clearer skin. The root issue that causes pain in our lives is when we attach our worth as a human to that wish. Your worth is based on the legacy of your life, how you show up for others, how you nurture your relationships, how you let the purpose given to you drive your life.

So let’s make peace with not loving our thighs and being okay with saying that out loud, but let’s also be okay with our worth lying in the deeper things in life. K?😘

Seeing your name printed in a magazine and having a lil’ recognition for the blood, sweat, tears and immense amount of LOVE + HEART you’ve poured into your business is just what you need🤍Thank you and everyone who voted to place me as Best Esthetician in San Diego. My heart is oh so happy🙏🏻✨

this is yours too😘

Wishing you a Saturday as relaxing as Diego’s🤍

GUA SHA: smoothing, lifting, clearing, de-puffing, sculpting and deeply relaxing. Our Holistic Gua Sha Skin Treatment is one of our most loved facials at Zio. Clients often say it is the best facial they have ever had and we agree...it is pretty special🤍

We use a few different magical tools during the treatment but the shining star is our stone made of pure, authentic bian.

Why is this stone special? Bian stone is said to emit ultrasound pulsations, far infrared rays, and negative ions, all of which are known for their antioxidant and anti-aging effects on our cells and DNA. It contains more than 40 minerals known to benefit overall health✨

We can’t wait to see you soon for this experience🙏🏻

We like to think of ourselves as mixologists✨When we are in the treatment room working on a client’s skin we craft lovely blends of custom masks, layered active serums and blended exfoliating treatments. It’s so fun to apply these beautiful products to the face and watch as the results unfold. We are especially honored to offer to our clients. It really is the MOST special and unique whole plant-based line you’ll ever experience🌿

Starting this week with some necessary duties that I like to complain about in my head🙃If I feel that I’m getting into that mindset, I quickly try to remind myself to focus on gratitude. Gratitude for plentiful, healthy food at our local grocery store. An able body that allows me to meal prep food for myself and my family. And a cozy home that gets messy because I have the privilege of living here with my loved ones.

Another thing that gets me thru this first day of the week:

Monday is SELF CARE NIGHT at our house✨

My hubby and I go our separate ways and do something for ourselves that fills our souls. He might retreat to our garage hang out and watch a movie (one that I have no interest in: think war dramas or cerebral thrillers🙅🏻‍♀️) and have a new kombucha. I might take an epsom salt bath and do a relaxing Gua Sha massage on my face. We look forward to this time for ourselves every week!

How can you reframe the narrative of your to do list today? And how can you make sure you care for yourself at the end of this day?✨
