My name is: Lili Mineni.

I’m known for being: a holistic esthetician.

I'm helping to launch: the Gua Sha Facial.

You can find it: at my facial studio in Santa Monica.

Also, to introduce women to this powerful expression of self-love and skincare, I’ve been leading workshops that I created. Within California, people can invite me to join a gathering of women, where we celebrate our feminine energy and create an environment that heals and empowers, while learning about Gua Sha.

What makes it special is: This is an ancient Chinese healing technique that is intended to address stagnant energy (chi) in the body that is believed to be responsible for inflammation. The “scraping” is thought to break up stagnant lymph fluid, clear toxins, reduce inflammation, increase circulation and promote the healing process. When done consistently, this treatment can improve skin clarity, tone, inflammation, puffiness, elasticity and premature aging. 

One thing you can’t miss is: The instant result that this treatment provides will turn you into a Gua Sha addict. I see so many clients who want to discontinue their botox and fillers; and this burgeoning facial treatment is an amazing replacement that provides facial restoration.

Unlike most “anti-aging” treatments, this technique will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and restored, as it allows you to sink into your parasympathetic nervous system.  

Your body will thank you because: The jade crystal is known as the stone of eternal youth with healing properties known to fill your spirit with magnetic light and courage. Jade has a powerful connection to the heart chakra, aiding in both emotional and physical well-being, making this a beautiful daily ritual of self-love.
