About US

Austin, Texas — Women 40+

A calm,
personalized approach to healing

Guided by clinical experience and holistic care—for skin health, whole-body balance, and a deeper sense of well-being.

DIFFERENT APPROACH

There is often a moment when you begin to feel a shift

In your energy. In your sleep. In your skin.

You may not feel like yourself in the same way you once did. For many women, these changes happen quietly—over time—and are often dismissed or treated in isolation.

At Stella Maris Acupuncture & Wellness, I believe those changes deserve to be understood more deeply. Not rushed. Not overlooked. But gently supported, as part of a larger picture.

A Different Approach

A lifted, radiant appearance
begins with whole-body balance

In your energy. In your sleep. In your skin.

A Path Shaped by Care, Curiosity & Healing

Shaped by nursing, acupuncture, and esthetics

My path into this work began in nursing. As a Registered Nurse, I was trained to care for the body in a clinical setting—to assess, respond, and support patients through moments of vulnerability.

Over time, I felt drawn to a deeper understanding of healing. One that looked beyond symptoms. One that considered the whole person. That path led me to Traditional Chinese Medicine, where I completed years of intensive training and nearly 3,000 hours of clinical experience.

Later, a growing interest in skin health and natural aging led me to pursue licensure in esthetics—allowing me to integrate advanced skincare into my work. Today, Stella Maris brings these three disciplines together—not as separate services, but as one cohesive approach to care.

Why Facial Rejuvenation Is Never Just About the Face

Skin changes do not happen in isolation

They are influenced by what is happening throughout the entire body. Rather than focusing only on surface-level treatments, we look at what is happening beneath—because when the body is supported, the skin often reflects that change.

Balanced circulation 

Supports natural glow, skin vitality,
and cellular renewal.

Rested Nervous System

Calmer stress response and deeper relaxation throughout the body.

Hormonal
support 

Helps restore balance during periods
of transition and change.

Whole-Body
Vitality

When your system is restored,
it shows on your skin—and in
how you feel.

Whole-Body Wellness

Facial pressure release for softer
features and improved comfort.

A more rested, lifted, and radiant appearance is not forced—it is supported.

WHY STELLA MARIS

Everything is
connected

You are not moving between providers. You are not receiving disconnected treatments. Your skin and your body are treated together—by one practitioner who understands both

This allows for more personalized care, greater continuity between treatments, and a deeper understanding of your overall health.

A quieter, more intentional approach—but often a more effective one.

Registered Nurse (RN)

Medical understanding and patient-centered care—knowing how the body works at a clinical level informs every treatment.

Licensed Acupuncturist

Whole-body wellness support through Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Licensed Esthetician

Advanced facial rejuvenation and holistic skin therapies.

Care Designed for Women 40+

This is not about reversing age

It is about supporting your body through it—with care that feels aligned, respectful, and sustainable. My work has naturally evolved to support women navigating:

  • Perimenopause and menopause

  • Changes in skin tone, elasticity, and brightness

  • Stress, fatigue, and sleep disruption

  • Chronic tension and discomfort

  • A desire for natural, non-invasive approaches to aging

You do not need to choose between beauty and wellness. Here, they are connected.
