Your Skin, Supported.
Thoughtful, customized skincare for real skin.
Every Aera facial is designed with your skin barrier and comfort in mind. Whether your skin is sensitive, reactive, breakout-prone, dehydrated, or simply ready for a little extra care, we'll meet it where it is and choose each step with intention.
Sensitive skin is always welcome here. You don't need to know exactly what your skin needs before you book. If you're unsure where to start, choose the Aera Ritual, and we'll take it from there.
AERA RITUAL FACIAL
75 minutes · $99
Your go-to customized facial—and the perfect place to start.
Not sure what your skin needs? You don’t have to. The Aera Ritual is thoughtfully customized to your skin that day, blending gentle exfoliation, targeted treatment, massage, masking, hydration, and nourishing finishing care.
Whether your skin is feeling dry, dull, sensitive, congested, or simply in need of a reset, we’ll choose each step with intention and give your skin exactly what it needs—without doing more just for the sake of doing more.
Best for: First-time clients, routine skin maintenance, hydration, relaxation + anyone who wants a little bit of everything.
AERA GLOW INFUSION
75 minutes · $129
For when you want your skin to look really, really good.
The Aera Glow Infusion takes everything you love about a customized facial and adds needle-free nano-infusion with sterile hyaluronic acid for an extra boost of hydration, plumpness, and radiance.
Your treatment includes customized cleansing and exfoliation, nano-infusion, restorative masking, massage, and barrier-supportive finishing care for skin that looks fresh, smooth, juicy, and unmistakably glowy.
No needles. No downtime. Just a very good skin day.
Best for: Dehydration, dullness, uneven texture, special events + anyone chasing that post-facial glow.
AERA CLARIFY FACIAL
75 minutes · $99
Breakouts need support, not punishment.
A customized facial for acne-prone, congested, or breakout-prone skin that takes a thoughtful approach to getting things back on track.
We'll assess what your skin actually needs and customize your treatment with appropriate exfoliation, careful extractions when needed, targeted clarifying support, and plenty of calming, barrier-supportive hydration.
No aggressive stripping. No shame about your skin. No throwing every active at your face and hoping for the best.
Just thoughtful acne care, one step at a time.
Best for: Active breakouts, blackheads, congestion, excess oil + acne-prone skin.
AERA RESTORE FACIAL
90 minutes · $119
For when you need more than a facial.
This is Aera at its slowest. A low-stimulation, deeply restorative facial designed around extended massage, intentional touch, barrier-supportive skincare, and space to fully settle in.
Bright lights, unnecessary stimulation, and aggressive treatment take a back seat. Instead, we'll focus on what your skin—and your system—need to feel supported.
Best for: stress, sensory overwhelm, sensitive or reactive skin, deep relaxation + anyone craving a slower kind of care.
AERA DERMAPLANE
75 minutes · $129
Smooth, soft, ridiculously satisfying.
A fully customized facial featuring professional dermaplaning to gently remove surface buildup and vellus hair (aka peach fuzz), revealing an instantly smoother, more polished-looking complexion.
Your treatment pairs dermaplaning with customized skincare, hydration, restorative masking, massage, and nourishing finishing care, so you're getting the full Aera experience, not just the exfoliation.
The result? Fresh, silky-smooth skin and makeup that goes on like a dream.
Best for: Dullness, rough texture, peach fuzz, smoother makeup application + instant polish.
AERA BACK RITUAL
60 minutes · $89
Because your back deserves skincare, too.
A restorative treatment designed for one of the hardest-to-reach (and easiest-to-ignore) areas of the body. Aera Back Restore combines a thorough cleanse, customized exfoliation, targeted care as needed, a nourishing mask, warm towels, and hydration with plenty of time to relax.
Whether you're dealing with dryness, rough texture, congestion, or you simply want the deeply relaxing experience of having someone else take care of your back for once, we'll customize the treatment to what your skin needs that day.
Best for: Dryness, rough texture, mild congestion, seasonal skin changes + anyone who wants a little extra care in an often-forgotten area.
NOT SURE WHAT TO BOOK?
You don't have to diagnose your own skin before you walk through the door.
Start with the Aera Ritual. We'll talk about what's been going on with your skin, what you're hoping to work on, and customize your treatment from there.
Sensitive, reactive, redness-prone, breakout-prone, or just having a weird skin week? You're welcome here.
Support your skin. Settle your system.
INTRODUCING: AERA COMMUNITY CARE
Intentional skincare. Accessible to more people.
I believe skincare should be accessible, compassionate, and free from judgment. You shouldn't have to reach a certain income level to experience intentional care, take a breath, and do something kind for yourself.
That's why I created Aera Community Care: an ongoing initiative offering a limited number of sliding-scale facials each month.
These appointments feature the Aera Ritual, my signature 75-minute customized facial, with contributions ranging from $50 to $99 or more. Choose an amount that feels accessible to you, based on your circumstances and what you're comfortable contributing.
There are no applications, income requirements, or explanations needed. Community Care is open to anyone who would benefit from a more accessible facial price, whether you're navigating financial hardship, balancing competing priorities, or simply unable to fit a full-price facial into your budget right now.
Every Community Care appointment includes the same thoughtful, personalized experience and quality of care as a standard Aera Ritual. Your contribution doesn't determine the care you receive.
These appointments are available on an ongoing basis, with a limited number of spots offered each month. Returning clients are welcome to participate month after month, subject to availability.
Everyone deserves care. Not everyone has the same budget. Both things can be true.
Support your skin. Settle your system.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
I don't believe better skin comes from doing more.
Your skin is constantly responding to products, stress, hormones, environment, lifestyle and everything in between. That's why I take a customized, barrier-conscious approach rather than forcing every client into the same treatment or routine.
At Aera, we're interested in what your skin is actually telling us.
Sometimes that means targeted exfoliation or advanced treatment. Sometimes it means hydration, barrier support and doing a whole lot less.
Either way, the goal isn't to chase perfect skin. It's to help you understand yours, support it well, and feel at home in it.

Real skin. Real people. Real Aera results.
“Redness calmed down”
Thank you so much for today! I did look at my face just now when I got home and the redness has really calmed down! Wow!!! 🤩
“Healthy and refreshed”
I highly recommend Rachael! My skin feels healthy and refreshed now. It was a very relaxing experience - highly recommend!
“Literally glowing”
I’d never received a facial treatment before because I’ve never thought much about my skin or how to take care of it, and I was a little nervous going in. But Rachael did an incredible job, she was very professional and efficient, and I was literally glowing afterwards! 10/10 experience, I can’t wait to get my next one.
Everyone is welcome at Aera.
I believe skincare is for every body, every identity, and every story. Aera is a space where you can show up as your full self and receive care that is compassionate, respectful, and free from judgment.
As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I proudly welcome and support my LGBTQIA+ clients and am committed to creating an environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and safe.
Inclusivity is an ongoing practice. I welcome feedback, remain open to learning, and am committed to continually growing in how I listen, understand, and care for the people who enter my space: with empathy, respect, and intention.
