Hi, I’m Rachel — Licensed Esthetician and the founder of Skin Therapy Facial Studio in Columbia, South Carolina.
Before becoming an esthetician, I spent 11 years working in veterinary emergency and internal medicine. That medical background shaped the way I approach skincare today — with a clinical eye, advanced knowledge of anatomy and skin function, and a deep respect for the body’s natural healing processes.
At Skin Therapy, I specialize in customized facials, corrective skincare treatments, and advanced skin rejuvenation in Columbia, SC. My focus includes acne treatments, anti-aging facials, hyperpigmentation correction, skin barrier repair, and glow-enhancing treatments tailored specifically to your skin type and goals.
I am also certified through ASTECC in Manual Lymphatic Drainage for the face and neck. This specialized technique supports detoxification, reduces facial puffiness, improves circulation, enhances contouring, and promotes overall skin health. Lymphatic drainage facial massage is especially beneficial for clients experiencing inflammation, fluid retention, post-treatment swelling, or dull, congested skin.
Every facial at Skin Therapy Facial Studio begins with a thorough consultation to create a personalized treatment plan. Whether you’re seeking corrective skincare in Columbia, SC, a relaxing luxury facial experience, or advanced treatments like nano-infusion and hydrodermabrasion, my goal is to deliver visible results in a calm, supportive environment.
I believe healthy skin is built through education, consistency, and intentional care. My mission is to help you feel confident, radiant, and deeply cared for — inside and out.
If you’re looking for a trusted esthetician in Columbia, SC specializing in personalized facials and lymphatic drainage for the face and neck, I would be honored to care for your skin.
My Approach
My approach to skincare is both corrective and restorative. With a background in veterinary emergency and internal medicine, I view the skin through a clinical lens while honoring the body’s natural healing processes. I focus on reducing inflammation, supporting the skin barrier, and creating strategic treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs. As an ASTECC-certified esthetician in Manual Lymphatic Drainage for the face and neck, I incorporate techniques that promote circulation, reduce puffiness, and support detoxification — enhancing both visible results and overall skin health. Every treatment is designed to deliver real, lasting improvement while creating a calm, supportive environment where your nervous system can reset and your skin can truly thrive.
