Birdie's Philosophy

Since moving permanently to California many years ago, I’ve continued my education in healing, nutrition, pressure points, aromatherapy, massage and advanced skin care.

As I explained in the article above, most professionals agree that the skin is the best indicator of health.   Skin problems are the body's way of trying to tell us that something is wrong.   By closely examining my clients, I can tell how acidic their skin is, whether they drink enough water and if they are under excessive stress.

Most of the problems my staff and I treat involve exposure to pollution, toxins or pesticides; poor diet and nutrition; and other symptoms of stress.   And the adverse effects of stress can be far-ranging, including insomnia, lethargy, hair loss, slow healing of scars and excessively dry or oily skin.

I also strongly encourage a healthy diet and positive attitude as part of a complete skin care program.   I help my clients improve their eating habits, nutrition and general lifestyle as part of my overall therapy.

When combined with our spa treatments, the results are usually dramatic!

-- Warmest regards, Birdie
