“my journey started with my own skin. every health issue I had was a side effect of my lifestyle. endless commitments putting myself last which included my health and even the most sophisticated products had taken a toll.
I started looking for a solution, but the more I did, the worse I felt. so I started removing the excess: consciously slowing down, simplifying my beauty routine, and eating to feel good. by focusing on my health, I noticed that my energy returned + my skin improved.
motivated by these changes + my own needs, I read several books + attended just as many seminars to develop a simpler, more intuitive way to care for your skin, inside + out. I hope to become your skin therapist to keep your skin beyond healthy. as per my email signature; BEAUTY IS SELF ACCEPTANCE.
I opened sanctuary aesthetics to be the kind of skincare studio I couldn’t find for myself. a sanctuary where rest + results aren’t mutually exclusive, where facial massage isn’t just a luxury add-on + where slowing down is an essential part of the treatment. to me, true beauty is about celebrating authenticity. I want to look like myself, feel like myself + that means taking care of myself on my terms. I believe our differences are what make us beautiful + interesting to one another.”
—rosalia kenworthy, sanctuary aesthetics
In my practice, I focus on addressing life's moments + the emotions they carry, rather than merely correcting lines + imperfections.
we are living in an era of intense scrutiny + comparison, making it crucial to approach each treatment with a deep understanding of its psychological impacts. I aim to provide therapies that respect + reflect the individual's personal story, enhancing not just their appearance but their overall wellbeing.
