Root Communication Vs Symptom Treatment - Let’s Get Into It!
This is my favorite topic of all time in regards to skincare! My personal approach to skincare is and has always been founded in something I call root communication -a practice of listening beyond the surface. Your skin is constantly speaking, not only through texture, tone, or breakouts, but through patterns, stress responses, lifestyle shifts, and emotional cues. Root communication is the process of slowing down enough to learn that language together. It means understanding the “why” behind your skin’s behavior so we can support it with intention rather than quick fixes.
Every single person’s skin is unique and so is their ability to progress through treatments. Even services marketed as “all inclusive” are not experienced the same by everyone. Your skin has its own rhythm, its own sensitivities, its own history, and its own threshold for change. Honoring that individuality is the only way to create real, sustainable results. I never expect your skin to fit into a template; instead, I create the template around you.
A true holistic approach also requires caring for the nervous system, which is often more influential than any serum, device, or facial technique. When the nervous system is dysregulated, the skin follows holding inflammation, congestion, slower healing, redness, or chronic irritation. Supporting your nervous system through calming touch, mindful pacing, and a safe, grounded environment is just as essential as the treatment steps themselves. Sometimes it’s even more powerful.
When choosing treatments and products, my process is rooted in continuous communication and observation: thorough analysis, detailed photo reviews, and open conversations about what’s happening beneath the surface of your daily routine. I’m not afraid to ask harder or more personal questions if they help us reach the true root of your skin’s behavior. This isn’t just about choosing the “right” product it's about understanding you and how your skin responds over time.
My goal is always to advocate for your skin with honesty, gentleness, and expertise and to teach you how to advocate for it, too. You deserve to feel confident, informed, and empowered in your skincare journey. Together, we can create a relationship with your skin that is nurturing, supportive, and rooted in genuine communication.
