​​ I am a spa professional with over 20 years of experience. Around age 20 I started getting acne. It got progressively worse until age 30 and I was getting to my wits end because nothing external worked for more than 3 months before the acne came roaring back. Frustrated with my problems being blamed on hormones and subsiquently given no course of action to fix said hormones, I became obsessed with answering why some got acne while most do not. Around this time I also took over ownership and management of a health spa in San Jose, California and I began seeing a lot of clients with inflammatory disorders. One day I realized that my acne behaved almost same way. Then I asked the question: What if the immune response is working just fine but the braking system is faulty? I spent the next two years trying to answer both of those questions.    

​

 What you see here today is the culmination of my own experience with chronic acne, years of research, and years more of refinement in the early 2010s. With the help of many friends, clients, and staff.
