Our motto of providing “ skincare with compassion ” was created to reflect the compassion we feel towards our work and our clients. As we enter the season of thankfulness, it seems only appropriate to expand on our three core values of compassion, thankfulness and kindness. Our hope is that you will apply these values toward yourself with self-care and then to others in your day to day lives. Skincare has become an increasingly popular trend in self-care and only enhances health, wellbeing and most importantly, confidence. We’ve seen this first hand at Radiance by witnessing our clients’ transformations! For that, we are forever grateful. 

Thankfulness

As the owner of Radiance, I’ve always wanted to write a letter describing the deep gratitude I feel towards each and every client I have been blessed to interact with throughout my esthetic journey. Now seemed like the best time! I am humbled and honored for your ongoing trust in our work involving your skincare (and the other million questions/topics discussed during your visits,ha ha) and the resulting relationships we have formed over the years. Our clients have ranged from students, educators, nurses and basically every type of healthcare worker, business women/men, entrepreneurs, lawyers, landscapers, massage therapists, excavators(yes!), truck drivers, baristas, dancers, actors, yogi’s, health coaches, stay-at- home amazing Mom’s, and so many more. They range in every age from 13-83! I personally love this vast age spectrum. Some of you come to your appointments together as mother/daughter, sisters, couples and long term friends. This always reveals a love and connection you have together that leaves us all feeling happy and heart full, a perk to our jobs! 

Compassion

Compassion towards ourselves and others remains at the forefront in our practice. Our skin is the largest organ and microbiome in our body. Clearly, it needs care! Providing education specifically designed for each individual’s skin in a way that is often more of a gentle or conservative approach allows for the client to ease into a practice that is easy to understand and implement. Simple treatment plans, slowly adding to at-home regimens and developing trust in the practitioner help facilitate the client’s long-term commitment to their own skin. Positive changes in skin happen usually within a month or sooner which quickly leads to improved self-confidence. We strive to educate that skincare is a commitment that may change with age and seasons, but this can all be done with patience and in a loving way. Self criticism or the statement of “I hardly ever look at myself in the mirror because I don’t like what I see” or “I never wear my hair up because it hides my skin when it’s down” can change to “I see so much of a difference”, “I have glowing skin now”, and “I am so much more confident in so many ways”. All it takes is a bit of love for yourself, some empathy and expertise in skincare and of course COMPASSION! 

Kindness

How does kindness connect with skincare? So happy you asked! Kindness is simple. Kindness is being open to self-care at any age (13-83). Kindness is listening closely and meeting a client where they are in their skincare journey. Kindness is acknowledging that some do not have the bandwidth for their skincare needs but desperately need some direction and help. It is the moment we as practitioners switch our mindset to that specific client to offer maybe even just one product that will help to heal their skin. Kindness is our team collaborating to decide the best regimen and treatment plan for very challenging skin issues together. Kindness is referring clients to other health professionals when necessary. Kindness is reflected in the commitment we have to learn the latest information available in the skin industry and appropriately offer it to you. Kindness is our honesty. We are honest about what you may or may not truly need to enhance the beauty you already possess. 

In conclusion, my personal level of gratefulness and care for you all is beyond words. I confidently speak for my staff as well, we are all thankful for your trust in our practice. Our hope is to bring you the most effective treatments in the skincare world with a sense of connection and being heard. We promise that the result will be self-love and confidence. You are all BEAUTIFUL in every unique way. Please, have compassion for yourself and others always! 

Love,
