welcome
Your skin is beautiful & storied.
My name is Desiree Sellstrom, and as a Licensed Esthetician on the Central Coast of California, I welcome you to my studio, Fabella Skin Therapy.
“Fabella” is Latin for “story.” Whether your story is burdened by struggle & insecurities or gifted with natural glow & vibrancy, it is a narrative that you experience deeply and daily.
Your face tells the story of your life, where fine lines represent unique expressions, sun spots a kiss of sunshine, scars a story of survival!
My studio is a serene respite where I hold space for your skin’s vulnerabilities. Using professional Eminence Organic Skin Care, I help you discover your skin has a beautiful story to tell!
stay awhile
Your skin’s story is safe with me.
What’s your story? Everybody has one.
A story we make up in our heads every time we glance at our reflection. Self-talk that lingers after an unforgiving session with a mirror. Insecurity as flawless skin walks or scrolls by.
Maybe your thoughts are kind, gracious and accepting, and you embrace your imperfections as beautiful & storied.
Maybe your thoughts are judgmental, unkind and harsh, and you attack each fine line, scowl at sun spots and feverishly pick at imperfections.
I imagine you and I might share some of the same unrelenting stories…
“I should have taken better care of my skin.”
“I’d rather hide behind layers of makeup than bare my true skin to the world.”
“I’m no spring chicken anymore, so why bother?”
“There’s too much information out there, and I have no idea where to start.”
“I’ve never had a facial and am anxious about the process.”
“Skin care is frivolous.”
“My skin is damaged beyond repair.”
“I’m so embarrassed I haven’t had a consistent skin care routine.”
Bring me your overwhelm, your story, your skin.
At Fabella, your face is beautiful & welcome!
