ABOUT US
At Harbor & Co Esthetics, we strive to provide an experience that is both informative and relaxing. We aim to educate clients on how to care for their skin while unwinding them into a meditative state. We believe a facial is more than cleansing and a mask; it energizes & nourishes the skin from within. That’s why utilize face massage & lymphatic drainage to relieve overused muscles while giving you a space to decompress.
In today’s overly busy society, it’s in your best interest to care for yourself. For my clients, seeing me is more than just taking care of their skin; it becomes what they look forward to most. Healing your skin is a journey that will lead you to leaving the house makeup-free, taking family pictures without worrying how tired you look, and becoming comfortable in your bare skin.
BEHIND HARBOR & CO
Hi, I'm Kristina
Beginning my career in 2019 at 20 years old, Botox and filler were taking off at becoming a “normal” for the everyday consumer. Gone were the days of injections only accessible to celebrities and affluent women. During this time, I struggled with TMJ pain, learning car accidents, bad sleep posture can cause it, & everyone’s favorite: stress. At the time I thought my only solution was masseter Botox. But being a broke 20-year-old without a fully booked schedule, this wasn’t attainable for me.
​
Aside from my TMJ pain, I knew I loved to massage & make people relax. The first time I saw a video of buccal massage, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do. Continuing to work in a day spa, I would have clients coming in doing Botox/filler at med spas yet still seeing aging, looking dull & tired. This gave me insight into the fact that true aging comes from collagen slowing down in the skin. Botox only paralyzes facial muscles, which does not help much in the long run.
​
In May 2023, I opened Harbor & Co Esthetics, doing 90 or 120-minute inclusive facials heavily focusing on lymphatic drainage face massage. My mission is to focus on age management without Botox using the body’s lymphatic system without outsourcing external factors to inject. I preserve the body’s natural ability to heal, cleanse & energize itself. I encourage a realistic skin routine, removing the overwhelming number of routines posted online. I help clients build healthy habits with their skin routine, setting them up for success with a realistic day-to-day approach. Slow & steady wins & I’m here with you for the long run.
​
The Mind-body Connection
I create a serene and cozy environment for my clients, offering them a sanctuary to disconnect from the chaos of the outside world. With the power of touch, I focus on healing the nervous system by releasing stored emotions from facial muscles. Our face has 42 mimetic muscles commonly used to express emotions and how we are feeling. If certain emotions are expressed on a daily basis they will be stuck in the muscle. Remember muscles have memory. Just like our body, these muscles need to be tended to.
​
Regardless of your profession, everyone deserves dedicated time to decompress. By scheduling regular facials and adhering to a personalized homecare routine, you not only have something to look forward to but can anticipate improved skin health, heightened confidence, and a deeper sense of self-love.
