The Philosophy
Skin is the whole body speaking.
I do not treat the surface alone. I work upstream by addressing the stress patterns, internal currents, and nervous system states that eventually surface on the face. What I offer is a quiet recalibration of the body, held in a private studio, one client at a time.
The Four Diagnostics
I. The Nervous System
Inflammation, chronic reactivity, and accelerated ageing are often nervous system responses expressed directly through the skin. Persistent stress elevates systemic cortisol, breaking down collagen, compromising barrier function, and keeping the skin in a perpetual state of defense. I read the underlying stress state before touching the surface, using targeted breathwork and grounding to shift your system out of fight-or-flight so your tissue can shift from defense into active repair.
II. The Gut Axis
Congestion, persistent redness, and sudden flare-ups are frequently authored deep within the digestive and immune systems. The gut and skin communicate continuously through the microbiome and inflammatory pathways. I address the visible, physical manifestations on the surface while guiding your internal support and lifestyle alignment where physical touch cannot reach.
III. The Emotional Map
Emotions are stored and can be released. I believe the face is a map of emotional history. Worry becomes texture in the brow; grief becomes a shadow under the eyes; grit becomes a hardened jawline. By combining somatic touch with breathwork, I move stuck emotions out of the fascia and face, clearing the path for genuine skin longevity and a profound state of calm.
IV. Structural Sculpting & Somatic Touch
Combining professional-grade Korean formulas with deep manual sculpture. High-performance products nourish the surface, while somatic touch releases locked tension in the jaw, neck, and fascia. By unlocking held stress, we restore natural symmetry, lift sagging contours, and sculpt the lower face from the inside out.
Meet the Founder
I built the room I once needed.
After years of navigating high-pressure corporate environments in San Francisco and London, I saw how chronic stress changes the face long before a skin concern ever shows up on the surface. I built House of Kush-Kush because no topical product can undo what a dysregulated nervous system is doing to your skin.
I built the room I once needed.
I trained extensively in advanced skin protocols, somatic facial therapy, and breathwork to bridge the gap between dermal science and physical release. My practice reads what the body is holding, and I help release the physical tension stored in the face while restoring your skin barrier at a cellular level.
I tend to attract high-functioning operators, overthinkers, and people who are excellent at managing everything except their own baseline. If that is you, you are in the right room.
