After struggling with rosacea, acne, acne scarring, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and in more recent years hormonal imbalances and preventative solutions to aging skin, Terrie knew firsthand the need for real solutions to her skincare problems.
This was the impetus to create a medical spa in Menlo Park where clients could enjoy a holistic approach incorporating nutrition, Eastern Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and whole-body wellness in balanced treatment plans tailored to their needs. Ever passionate about improving her clients’ complexions, Terrie created many strategic treatments for anti-aging, detoxification, and everyday renewal and rejuvenation. Terrie is the Environ Practice Management Educator, a licensed Medical aesthetician, a Certified Eastern Ayurvedic Health Counselor, and a Certified HydraFacial practitioner who has been administering the HydraFacial since 2003.

Terrie was one of the first aesthetic masters to learn how to use HydraFacial back in 2003. Over the years, she has refined the Total Glow HydraFacial to incorporate other effective treatments, such as Ballancer Pro for lymphatic drainage. Terrie’s passion for balancing holistic Eastern wellness practices with advanced skincare treatments makes the Total Glow HydraFacial experience unlike anything else you can find in the skincare market today.

Total Glow HydraFacialBlending ancient truths with modern science
For thousands of years, guardians of our shared human knowledge have passed down the lessons taught to them to their communities, protecting them and keeping them healthy. It has only been recently that our modern medical technology has been able to quantifiably validate what some of these ancient wellness practices have shown for millennium.
At Total Glow, we consider it a great honor and responsibility to continue this tradition. We learn as much as we can from the wellness practitioners who came before us, while deeply scrutinizing these practices to ensure the highest levels of safety and scientific rigor in all we do. Through this practice, we are able to unlock a deep sense of wellness and biological harmony within our clients.
