Lillian takes all the necessary precautions to keep you safe during this pandemic. She wears a mask, plus shield, disinfects everything, including the soles of your shoes, etc, to implement safety protocols. I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised and felt at ease immediately. Wonderful experience, highly recommend as she specializes in anti-aging treatments. She included a micro dermabrasion on the back of my hands which she informed me will keep me looking youthful (the hands will reveal your age, must keep them looking young!). Lillian is incredibly patient and easy to talk to -- truly felt like I've known her all my life! ***Lillian's Medical Spa is located upstairs from Starbucks and around the back.

I had the Facial Bliss ($85) appropriately done by Katherine Bliss-Jones (Kit)…read more I appreciate when someone who's about to work on my mug, sits me down to discuss the treatment and find out my concerns and skin issues. I had acne that I treated with my go-to "harsher the better" philosophy: Retin-A, Accutane, Oxycycline, Pro-Active, and so on. Now my face is pissed off at me and refuses to produce oil like a normal person. Dry as hell yet very, very oily. Kit lovingly listened to me and told me what she recommended for the facial, which I agreed to. The space for the facial was absolutely peaceful, super-clean, and wholesome. I began to feel like I was in Lothlorien, and upon another glance at Kit I saw striking physical similarities to Galadriel as played by Cate Blanchett. Kit's hands gently cleansed my skin, and prepped me for a soothing steam. Truthfully, after this point I just began to surrender to the facial and just relax instead of analyze and fear. I remember her loving hands attending to my face like some sort of sacred ritual. It was filled with beautiful scents, gentle sweeping movements, calming massage, and utter peace. She added a hand and wrist rejuvenation treatment that included massage, essential oil, and warm mitt infusion. Then she told me that she would throw in an eyebrow design as well. Good right? I started freaking out because this Korean girl's been blessed with a moon-face that was considered beautiful in 16th century Korea, but in this age makes her want to grow grow grow her eyebrows to make her face look smaller so birds birds stop flying into my head. I told Kit my fears and she totally understood and told me what she was going to do and why. Kit used hard wax which I love b/c of the lack of pain and the gentle stripping off the skin. It felt great and I just hoped for the best and relaxed into it. After a soothing crystal mask and some other treatments, she propped me up and said, "now for the best part." Uh, typically that statement is not one I associate with Lydia sans makeup but what the hell I grabbed the mirror and inspected my bliss-facialed face. Holy mother of Jesus, my eyebrows were freaking perfect. I guess in my effort to use my eyebrows to make my face look smaller, they had gotten Wookie on me. But now, wow, Kit made my top arch higher and cleaned the under and some other stuff that made my eyebrows frame my eyes and face much better. The skin on my face didn't look angry anymore. It looked nourished like it had just taken a deep drink from the fountain of Galadriel. I had that glow and even the muscles on my face had softened. I looked and felt serene. I guess I was tense before I got there and didn't even know it. What can I say to sum up this wonderful experience? I came for a basic facial and I left feeling nurtured and peace by Kit's loving tending to. It's like I thought I was just going to get a sip of water, but I ended up with a wholesome and thorough satiation. I highly recommend Galadriel's blissful facial!

I don't like skin care or household products with scent, even "natural" scents. Yet when I smelled some of the natural home fragrance sprays here, the clean, light, and truly pure smells hooked me and I had to buy some. Even better, the lady running the store told me that because the spray I was purchasing was in a glass bottle with stainless steel in the pump, the bottle was long-lasting and perfectly reusable. She then wrote down for me a quick and ridiculously easy recipe for a new fragrance spray that I could make at home and fill the bottle with once it was empty. Bad for her business to teach me how to make at home what she was selling in her shop, but that's what fantastic service is all about. Clutterbug doesn't just sell natural fragrances - they have a whole array of great gift items for those of you relaxing and traveling up the coast. Everything is of the same great quality as the fragrances; the store is all about handmade, local products like candles, lotions, soaps, affordable jewelry, and even copper garden furnishings. It's a great place to relax, enjoy the one-on-one service, and find products with which you can pamper yourself and others. My car smelled like lime and bergamot for weeks!

Simply the best myofascial therapy I have experienced, nationwide. Most recently I pulled my back and wasn't able to stand up straight. I remembered Michael's advice to me - ice and then heat. After a few days I was ready for an in-home massage. Two hours later, I felt renewed of body and mind. Michael is always professional, kind, good-humored, and thorough. I suggest you take a hot bath before he works on your in your home, and then plan for a day of napping and relaxing after. There is no one better. -- Michael is the only massage therapist in ten years who has been able to relieve me of my chronic back pain. He is a skilled and intuitive professional. I used to experience pain on a daily basis and had limited mobility and range of motion. My back pain has decreased to almost nothing - after seeing Michael I usually enjoy several weeks with no pain at all. My sciatica has disappeared. Additionally, Michael's lymph drainage massage has boosted my immune system significantly. I have been suffering from back pain for over ten years. Western medicine called it 'facet syndrome' and 'fibromyalgia', and said there was nothing that could be done about it. Other body workers tried to massage the area and that always resulted in migraines. I don't know what I would do without a monthly massage from Michael - it's the best self-care practice and worth every penny!
