I’m so glad I didn’t care for my skin
-Said No One EVER!

It’s true! You will never regret caring for your skin.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. The only one we can see and feel. It’s our protective barrier, providing six major functions, and we only get one for a lifetime. It regenerates every 28-35 days, so caring for it is just as important as caring for your internal organs.

Facial treatments are workout routines your skin needs and wants! Deeply cleansing, exfoliating, detoxifying, nourishing, and hydrating all in one session.

It’s never too late to start caring for your skin. Find peace and relaxation while achieving a smooth, soft, radiant complexion. Go ahead, treat your mind, body, soul…most of all, your skin to a facial treatment at Cloud 9.

Don’t worry if you aren’t sure what treatment is right for you. That’s my job. With a full consultation and skin assessment, I will make sure you receive the service that’s just right for you and your skincare needs!

Please CALL or Text 515-571-7397 to book today!

Gentle Face Massage Could Help Your Brain Flush Out Alzheimer's Toxins—The Science Is Incredible

What if something as simple as a face and neck massage could protect your brain from Alzheimer's?

Scientists in South Korea just made a breakthrough discovery that sounds almost too good to be true—but the research is real.

They found a network of lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin in mice and monkeys that, when gently massaged, can dramatically speed up the brain's natural waste-removal system.

Here's how it works: Your brain has a cleanup crew called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that flushes out cellular waste, including the toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. But as we age, this system slows down—and waste starts building up.

When researchers used a simple massage device on these animals, CSF flow increased by nearly three times. Even more amazing? It reversed age-related declines in older subjects, getting their brain drainage systems working like they were young again.

The team examined human cadavers and found we have similar lymphatic pathways beneath our skin, suggesting this could work in people too.

While more research is needed, this opens the door to a completely non-invasive, drug-free way to support brain health as we age. Imagine protecting yourself from dementia with something as simple and gentle as regular facial massage.

The next step is testing this in Alzheimer's-prone mice. If it works, we could be looking at a game-changing tool in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases.

🎉Happy 2026!!🎉

New year, New skin…right?!

I can help. In 2026, I celebrate my 17th year as a licensed Esthetician, and caring for your skin is my true passion!

A visit to my treatment room is where the journey to achieving skin health begins. A full consultation is an introduction, me getting to know you, your skin (needs/concerns), your lifestyle (diet, exercise, water intake,sleep, stress levels), your current skincare routine, and your desired results. A skin assessment, helps me further understand the story your skin is telling. The treatment itself, I guide you through deep cleansing, stimulating exfoliation, relaxing massage, detoxifying, nourishing, and conditioning masks, completing your experience with serums to nourish and moisturizers to hydrate new skin! We cover the how’s, the what’s, the why’s and the when’s of skincare.

This sets the stage for transformation to achieving your healthiest skin yet!

But it doesn’t end with the facial, it is the beginning! It must continue at home, on a daily basis, with the best quality skincare products that are suitable to your every skin need and concern.

Since 2023, Cosmedix has been my primary product source for helping my clients, and myself, achieve skin health goals resulting in fresh, healthy, and radiant skin.

Schedule your facial appointment at Cloud 9 to ring in 2026! It’s always the right time to focus on your skin! And Cosmedix and I have been waiting to see you in the treatment room!

Call or text 515-571-7397 for availability.
