A quiet house for careful work.
How an old house by the harbor became our studio.
Where it began
It started with a porch.
In 2019 Mara Ellison, NP, left a clinic of twelve-minute appointments wanting the opposite: time to listen, a window, and the freedom to say no.
She found a tired Spanish Colonial house near the water with a deep porch. A year of repair later, the porch became the waiting room.
Our belief
We believe in less, done carefully: fewer syringes, longer consults, results friends cannot quite name. Beauty is looking like yourself on a good day.
The team
Three people, one standard.
Mara Ellison, NP, our medical director, plans every treatment. June Okafor, RN, leads laser and microneedling; Tessa Varga, LE, runs the skin bar.
Every client can reach a nurse directly after a treatment, and nobody here works on commission.
