When Dustin and I both took the leap to open up our own small businesses, we shared the same hope for what we wanted to create. We wanted to show up for the community around us, bring people together, take care of people in the ways we each know how and create spaces where you genuinely feel welcomed and cared for.

Supporting other small businesses, building real relationships and getting to know the people who walk through our doors has become one of the most meaningful parts of what we do.

As we move into the holiday season, life can start to feel a little faster. Our calendars fill up, there’s more to do, more places to be, and sometimes taking care of ourselves gets pushed further and further down the list. So we wanted to create an experience that gives you a reason to do the opposite:

Slow down. Share a good meal. Spend time with someone you love. Be taken care of. And simply enjoy being together.

So we’re giving ONE WINNER + someone they love
a little Bare Mex x Alchemy Esthetic Studio experience:

Lunch or dinner for TWO at Bare Mex — Dustin’s fast-casual, seed-oil-free restaurant where everything is prepared fresh with the belief that food can be deeply nourishing. TWO one-hour treatments at Alchemy Esthetic Studio with Avery and myself. An opportunity to slow down, soften and receive.

AND we’re choosing a SECOND WINNER to receive 50%
OFF the same Bare Mex x Alchemy experience for TWO.

We are endlessly grateful for every person who walks through our doors, shares our businesses, tells a friend, comes back again or simply roots for us from afar. There are real people behind small businesses, and neither of us takes your support lightly.

TO ENTER:
• Follow Bare Mex, 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐲𝐧 𝐙𝐚𝐧𝐤 | 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧 + 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐜𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐰 | 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧

We carry so much within the face.
The jaw that clenches when we’re stressed.
The muscles that stay contracted long after
the stressful moment has passed. Tight fascia.
Fluid retention. Facial tension. The subtle patterns
we repeat every single day without even realizing it.

Sometimes, you don’t realize how much your face has
been holding until you finally give it permission to soften.

This is the intention behind our Sculptural
Buccal ‘Intra-Oral’ Facial Treatment.

Working both externally + intra-orally, we move intentionally through the muscles, fascia + tissues of the face— softening areas of restriction, releasing jaw + facial tension, encouraging healthy lymphatic flow + circulation, and creating space for your nervous system to drop in, regulate + receive.

And when the face begins to soften, you can see it.

A jaw that feels lighter.
Features that appear softer + more open.
Less puffiness.
More definition + symmetry.
Brighter, more oxygenated-looking skin.
That natural lifted, rested appearance
without trying to make your face something it isn’t.

Because the visible sculpting is beautiful,
but it’s only one layer of the treatment.

At Alchemy, we’re not interested in chasing a different face.
We’re interested in understanding yours.

What is your jaw communicating?
Where are you holding tension?
Where does the tissue feel restricted?
Where are we noticing fluid retention or puffiness?
What does your nervous system need today?

We listen to all of it and allow
the treatment to unfold from there.

For those experiencing jaw tension, clenching + grinding,
TMJ-related discomfort, facial tightness, puffiness, sinus congestion, or simply feeling like stress has made a home within the face, this treatment gives us the space to begin moving through those layers while simultaneously tending
to the health + vitality of your skin.

And this is where consistency becomes so powerful.
Each treatment allows us to build upon the last—
continuing to soften patterns of tension, support movement through the tissue + deepen the work as your face responds.

No two faces need the same treatment.
No two sessions look the same.
We listen. We feel. We adjust.

Your legs are your foundation—
and they deserve to be treated like one. 🌀✨

Think about how much your legs do for you every
single day. They carry you through work, workouts,
travel, long days on your feet, hours spent sitting,
hormonal shifts, stress, and every season of life yet
they’re often one of the most overlooked areas when
we think about supporting our overall health.

Your lower body contains an extensive network of
lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, fascia, muscles,
and connective tissue, all working together to move
fluid back toward the center of the body.

And unlike your circulatory system,
your lymphatic system doesn’t have
a central pump like the heart,
it relies heavily on movement,
breathing, and muscle
contractions to keep lymph moving.

That’s why supporting your legs
is about so much more than how they look.

Through the Slimsage™ Method, targeted lymphatic drainage, fascial work, and tissue support, we’re encouraging healthier fluid movement, circulation, tissue oxygenation, fascial mobility, nervous system regulation, and overall recovery.

If you sit at a desk all day, stand behind a chair or treatment table, travel frequently, exercise intensely, notice sock marks
at the end of the day, feel tightness through your hips or legs, experience swelling or puffiness around your knees or ankles, recover slowly from workouts, or simply feel like your lower body gets heavy, tired, achy, restless or restricted, your legs may be asking for more support.

Even if none of those things feel obvious, these are the
tissues carrying you through your life every single day.

We want tissues that move freely.
Fascia that isn’t chronically restricted.
Fluid that can move efficiently.
Muscles that can recover.
Ankles, knees, and hips that feel mobile.
And a nervous system that has an opportunity to soften
while your body receives instead of constantly performs.

Clients often leave describing their legs as lighter,
looser, less heavy, more mobile, and deeply relaxed.
Your legs are your roots. Support the roots,
and you support everything that they carry.

One treatment. Two layers of support.

Her Fire & Ice Enzyme Plant Peel focused on gently loosening the bonds between built-up surface cells, allowing dead skin and congestion to release without abrasive resurfacing.

This controlled enzymatic exfoliation supports natural
cellular renewal while respecting the skin barrier leaving
the skin smoother, brighter, and more refined.

The Celluma Light Therapy was then used in two different
ways based on what her body and skin needed that day.

Pain Mode was used over her recently injured ankle to
support pain relief, circulation, inflammation reduction,
cellular energy, and tissue recovery.

Wrinkle Mode was used on the face, combining blue, red,
and near-infrared wavelengths to support skin clarity, calm visible inflammation, increase cellular energy (ATP), support collagen production and cellular repair, improve circulation, and promote healthier, firmer, more resilient-looking skin.

Come experience what intentional, whole-body support can feel like. Whether your skin is asking for deeper repair or your body is asking for more recovery, we can thoughtfully meet
you where you are and support what you need most that day.

Sometimes your skin doesn’t need MORE.
It needs help letting go.

You’re consistent with your skincare.
You cleanse. You hydrate. You use your serums.
But your skin still feels dull, congested, textured or uneven.

Your pores look more noticeable.
Pigmentation seems to linger.
Your products don’t seem to give
you the same glow they once did.
And sometimes, the missing piece
isn’t adding another product. It’s turnover.

As our natural cellular renewal begins to slow, older keratinized cells can accumulate at the surface, leaving the complexion looking duller, rougher and more congested and preventing
that fresh luminosity underneath from showing through.

But at Alchemy, we also don’t believe the answer is to aggressively strip the skin in pursuit of faster results.

THE FIRE | Pumpkin Enzyme
Pumpkin fruit + natural enzymes begin loosening accumulated surface cells while bilberry, neem and cinnamon surround the skin with nutrient-rich botanical and antioxidant support.

THE RESURFACE | La Luna Glycolic Peel
Glycolic acid encourages more even shedding of compacted surface cells to address the appearance of texture, congestion, visible pores, fine lines, dullness and uneven pigmentation.
But this isn’t simply an acid peel, the pearl powder, konjac root
and rose water bring amino acids, trace minerals, humectant hydration and soothing support alongside the resurfacing.

THE ICE | Cool + Reset
Cooling Ice Globes bring the skin out of the
warmth of the resurfacing phase, creating
a soothing transition before we replenish.

THE NOURISH | Vitamin C Treatment
And this is where we give back. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, tangerine oil, cacao butter and non-comedogenic coconut
oil surround freshly resurfaced skin with antioxidants, vitamin C, hydration and lipid-rich nourishment while supporting brightness, collagen formation and moisture retention.

Resurface. Replenish. Renew.
Where intentional exfoliation
meets deep nourishment. ✨🪞🪽

You wake up and your jaw already feels tired.
You catch yourself clenching during the day.
Your teeth meet when you’re concentrating.
Your temples feel tight by the end of the day.
Maybe you grind your teeth at night,
experience TMJ discomfort, facial pain
or headaches or you simply know that
your face never completely lets go.

Eventually, holding tension becomes so
familiar that you stop noticing you’re doing it.

Until someone begins working with
the places that have been holding it.

This is the Sculptural Buccal Intra-Oral Facial Treatment.
A deeply intentional treatment that works both externally
and from inside the mouth to access the facial muscles,
fascia and tissues associated with patterns of grinding, clenching, jaw tension and TMJ-related discomfort.

Because when we’re talking about a sculptural facial,
we’re not only talking about how the face looks.
We’re talking about how the face feels.

How freely the jaw moves.
How much tension the muscles have been carrying.
How guarded the tissues feel.
How much fluid the face may be holding.
How connected the jaw, face, neck + nervous system truly are.

These photographs were taken immediately after +
before one Sculptural Buccal ‘Intra-Oral’ treatment.

You can see subtle changes within the facial contours—
the cheekbones appear more pronounced,
the jaw more defined, the face more sculpted.
But the photograph only tells half of the story.

It cannot show you the feeling of having someone
intentionally work into muscles you didn’t realize were tight.
The moment your jaw finally feels like it can soften.
The realization that perhaps you’ve been carrying
stress throughout your face and jaw for years.

Through intentional intra-oral and external work,
we’re supporting mobility within the facial muscles,
fascia, encouraging lymphatic movement,
circulation, and creating more ease within tissues
that may have become chronically tight or guarded.

Come experience what your face feels like
when it no longer has to hold quite so much. 🪞✨🪽

The Slimsage™ Abdomen Lymphatic Treatment
is an advanced metabolic, lymphatic, and recovery-enhancing therapy designed to support the deeper
tissue environment where stagnation, restriction, inflammation, and congestion often begin.

This treatment supports lymphatic movement, microcirculation, interstitial fluid exchange, tissue oxygenation, fascial mobility and nervous system
regulation, helping create an internal environment
where fluid, oxygen, nutrients, and cellular
communication can move more efficiently.

When your abdomen may be asking for support….
* PCOS / hormonal-metabolic concerns
* Endometriosis
* Fibroids
* Constipation or irregular bowel movements
* Sluggish digestion
* Food sensitivities or digestive flares
* Bloating, puffiness + water retention
* A hard, guarded, tight, or tense abdomen
* Abdominal discomfort, pressure, or cramping
* Irregular, absent, or changing menstrual cycles
* Painful or heavy periods
* Perimenopause, menopause + post-menopause
* Postpartum recovery
* C-section, tummy tuck, hysterectomy, or
other abdominal/pelvic surgeries or surgical scars
* High stress + a nervous system that rarely feels settled
* Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
* GLP-1 use, especially when digestion or regularity has shifted
* Unexpected changes in weight or body composition
* Feeling of restriction through the lower abdomen
* Difficulty taking a full diaphragmatic breath / constantly bracing through the core
* Feeling disconnected from your abdomen or womb space
* Or simply wanting to be proactive about gut health, fluid movement, fascia, circulation, mobility, and whole-body wellness

No matter your age, what symptoms you’re experiencing, or the season of life you’re moving through, the abdomen is a space that deserves to be supported. This treatment is about creating more movement, more softness, and a healthier internal environment so your body has the support it needs to regulate, recover, and function as a whole.

Slimsage™ Torso Lymphatic Treatment
+ Celluma LED Light Therapy 🪞✨

Treating the skin and body at the root
honoring the systems beneath the surface
that shape how you feel, heal, and function.

Alchemy Signature 90-Minute Facial Treatment ✨🪽

These extended treatments will forever
hold a special place in my heart.

Every facial I offer is completely customized to
what your skin and body are asking for that day.
That’s where true skin healing begins.

For this beautiful client, our intention was luminous,
deeply hydrated skin paired with a complete reset
for her lymphatic system and nervous system.

We began by nourishing her skin in a curated blend of nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich botanical masks, delivering essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and phytonutrients directly into the skin to restore vitality from the inside out.

From there, the treatment unfolded intuitively through advanced facial massage, a tension melting hand and arm massage, lymphatic drainage, gua sha, and scalp massage.

Each technique building upon the last to encourage lymphatic fluid movement, soften fascial restrictions, and bring the skin and body into a state of deep regulation.

One of her biggest concerns was the fine lines across
her forehead. But what I see isn’t simply a wrinkle.

I see fascia.
I see patterns of tension.
I see areas where circulation, lymphatic flow,
and tissue mobility have become restricted over time.

The forehead is so deeply connected to the scalp,
which is why we spent extra time stimulating the
tissues throughout her scalp, allowing years of
accumulated tension to begin melting away while
her nervous system settled into a state of complete rest.

This has never felt like “work” to me. It’s art.
Every person who walks through my door is a
blank canvas, and there is nothing I love more
than listening to the story their skin is telling.

The skin is constantly communicating.
When we learn to listen instead of
simply treating the surface,
we create space for the body to do
what it was always designed to do. To heal.

The extended facial treatments allow us the time to honor every one of those systems, and that’s when the transformation becomes so much more than skin deep.

Watching the skin come alive again
never stops leaving me speechless. 🥹✨

The Slimsage™ Torso Lymphatic Treatment 🪽✨

The Torso Slimsage™ combines the abdomen and
lower back into one comprehensive session,
supporting the digestive system, lymphatic system,
fascia, circulation, nervous system, and the tissues surrounding the spine and abdominal cavity simultaneously.

Your abdomen is home to the majority of your
lymphatic tissue, your enteric nervous system
(“the second brain”), and many of the organs
responsible for digestion, metabolism, detoxification, hormone metabolism, and immune function.

The lower back houses the muscles, fascia,
connective tissue, and nerve pathways that
communicate with nearly every organ throughout the body.

When restriction, congestion, inflammation,
or fascial tension exist throughout the torso,
these systems often cannot communicate
and function as efficiently as they were designed to.

Her results speak for themselves
but the way she feels in her body says even more.

It’s about giving the body the support it’s
been asking for so it can return to balance from within.
