Spa Alternatives by Helena 

I have been a licensed Cosmetologist, Massage Therapist, and Aesthetician since 1992 in both California and Nevada. Having explored many avenues in the industry over the years, I found a passion for Aesthetics and thus centered my practice around comprehensive and personalized skin care that incorporated other methods of healing such as massage therapy, reiki, the Bengston method, light therapy, and oxidative therapy. The use of these methods, along with the array of natural, Organic, clinical, and Oncology-approved products I use, promotes healing from the inside out as it is my goal and passion to provide an experience that leaves you feeling rejuvenated, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Over the course of my career, I have consistently pursued, and attended, advanced education programs to provide information and therapies that are on the cutting edge of the industry to my clients. This has included numerous training classes on waxing techniques, advanced medical chemical peels, advanced artistry, and a certification in Oncological aesthetics in 2017. I also have over 4 years of experience in Medical Spas and have had the opportunity to provide doctor-assisted and prescribed products and therapies. In 2016, I began my own business practice, Spa Alternatives. Where I use my vast knowledge and talents to provide personalized products and therapies to an ever-growing client base. Through thorough consultations that are conducted in an intimate and private setting, I foster an environment where my clients stay comfortable and informed so that I can provide customized plans for individual skin care needs. Through product selection, customized facials, and many wellness methods I ensure that my client’s needs are met in a holistic matter, resulting in long-term results. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and love educating my clients so they have clear expectations and can achieve their goals.
