BEHIND HARBOR & CO
Meet Kristina – Your Expert Esthetician
I originally entered the esthetics industry thinking I wanted to be a waxer. But I quickly realized waxing wasn’t for me. What I truly fell in love with was facial massage—the art of helping women relax, feel cared for, & reconnect with themselves.
For the first four years, I worked in a corporate spa environment, where I followed strict protocols & limitations. As my knowledge grew, I realized there was so much more to skincare than just surface-level treatments. True skin healing happens deeper than the surface—it begins within our lymphatic system & nervous system.
In May 2023, I opened Harbor & Co Esthetics with a focus on lymphatic drainage, facial sculpting, and buccal massage—techniques that work in harmony with the body’s natural healing processes.
At the same time, Botox & fillers were becoming increasingly popular, but I believed there was a different path—one that honors the body’s longevity without invasive procedures. Struggling with acne & TMJ pain myself, I considered Botox for relief but was hesitant to inject toxins into my face. I knew my skin & jaw tension were tied to stress & internal imbalances.
Before becoming an esthetician, I tried countless products & changed my diet, but nothing helped. Even with access to top skincare products as a professional, my acne persisted. Many estheticians recommended new routines, but I sensed the solution wasn’t in more products—it was internal.
When I shifted my focus to caring for my lymphatic system & simplified my skincare to just a few gentle products, my skin began to clear. My breakouts calmed, congestion eased, & the tension in my jaw lifted. This experience solidified my belief that true skincare is about working with what our bodies already have—the power within our lymphatic & nervous systems.
The answer to your skin concerns lives inside you. My role is to guide & teach you how to care for your skin by supporting those natural systems from within.
With so many tutorials online about lymphatic drainage, gua sha, & facial massage, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or like you’re not doing enough. Plus, how do you know which tutorial is doing it correctly. But skincare isn’t meant to be a stressful routine—it’s a ritual. A moment to decompress, slow down, & return to yourself with love & care.
I work with clients one-on-one to create space for healing, quiet the noise of external pressures, and provide personalized homecare guidance—so the calm & results you experience during treatment can continue in your daily life. You’ll find yourself spending less time digging deep into social media for the next answer & more time happy & comfortable in your skin.
