“I tried the STAR Face treatment and this is, hands down, the only facial I will get from now on! The actual treatment felt incredible and so relaxing... I sort of felt like my skin was gliding across ice at times. My skin felt INCREDIBLE... super soft, tightened, and glowing... and it stayed firm. I don’t want to go down the path of Botox (yes, I have tried it) and this (for me) is a wonderful way to take care of my skin more naturally. ”

“Each session Mary Ellen is focused, dynamic, intuitive and works with an obvious care for my well being.

She was a way of “connecting” at a much deeper level to understand where and how the body is holding onto to tension or stress. I’ve been seeing her for several years now and every treatment is unique based on what I am experiencing in THAT moment. She’s truly an intuitive healer — and well worth every minute spent with her healing hands!”

The only effective way I can do this is with cupping therapy from Mary Ellen Milks.

Now, less than two years later,
I enjoy a clear and balanced complexion, a balanced complexion, a clear conscience, and most dear to me —- peace in my heart .”

Mary Ellen also offers therapeutic cupping massage which I experienced and was amazing! It affected the deep layers of my fascia and brought increased circulation and relief to the area.
Mary Ellen uses and sells some of the best products out there in her lovely and inviting space. I love the line Luzern that she carries. I just returned from living in Colorado and my skin needed some TLC. After one facial, my skin is less congested and feeling healthy again. Thank goodness for Mary Ellen!!!”

“On a friend’s recommendation, I decided to try a facial with Mary Ellen, and immediately saw and felt a difference in my skin. Other people also commented on my skin looking so healthy.

“When I first went to see Mary Ellen, my skin was angry with post-menopausal and stress-related breakouts. I had discoloration from old acne scars and new old age spots. I hated my skin and every time I looked in the mirror, I only saw the flaws. I had begun to feel old and unattractive. Mary Ellen’s healing powers have completely changed not only my skin’s appearance and health but my relationship with my face. Now when I look in the mirror I see my whole image and feel youthful and attractive again. I am about to turn 65 and people frequently mistake me for 50-something! Most aestheticians I have been to barely touch my skin to clean it, brush on a mask and leave the room for 20 - 30 minutes at a time. Mary Ellen spends the entire session with me, massaging my face, neck and shoulders, while waiting for her curative products to do their work. And her facial massages are like a mother’s touch. When I leave her home studio, all the tension in my facial muscles is gone. My skin glows, and my face and neck are relaxed. I look in the mirror and I can see I have been touched by a true healer.”

“She is amazing!!! ”

“Mary Ellen gives the best facial and massage. She uses great organic product and is very professional. She is always on time and gives you her undivided attention when you are on her table. I would recommend her to anyone and I have! She is the best! I drive over 100 miles to see her for my facials !!! That’s how good she is. ”

“One day I noticed how smooth and bright my friend’s complexion looked. I had noticed this for some weeks. She told me it was because she was getting facials with Mary Ellen Milks. She added “I have a new face and I love it!” Soon afterwards I made my first appointment.Mary Ellen works out of her home. I found the room very private and warm. I immediately felt comfortable with Mary Ellen. She is a delightful and conscious person with a high sense of integrity. She is very skillful with her practice and uses wonderful skin products which she also sells. I had facials in the past but often felt rushed and felt the (can’t remember the word for facialist) was preoccupied. When I see Mary Ellen, I always feel that my skin and wellbeing is center in her mind. I have now been seeing Mary Ellen for over two years and will continue to see her. She has helped me to value my skin and that has played out in other areas of my life as well. I am loving my skin! I often get compliments from people I don’t even know. And compliments from people that I do know, who often say my skin looks very youthful. I am 55 and I love hearing that!
”

“I’ve been receiving facials for 25 years and have learned the importance of having real trust with an aesthetician. I feel completely confident surrendering my face to Mary Ellen, I’ve gone to her for over 8 years and during each appointment, i feel blessed to experience her healing hands, her meticulous approach and her exceptional holistic products. She is an extremely skilled aesthetician who often incorporates new modalities. These soothing surprises( like warm/cooling stones or bamboo roller) nourish,soften and heal. I leave looking in the mirror thinking “ who is that supermodel”! ”
