Gua Sha and Cupping have taken the beauty scene by storm lately, but did you know they are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine? Not only was Balanced Thistle the first clinic in Northern Colorado to offer these popular and effective services, but our team has training above and beyond the average aesthetics education to deliver traditionally rooted and medically centric holistic facials. They train with THE BEST in the biz, and they work alongside Traidtional Chinese Medicine practitioners.
Mackensie Hall
Holistic L.E.
Mackensie is a Nebraska native who loves nature, being near water, foraging mushrooms and wild herbs, learning about plants, cooking, and listening to music and dancing with her daughter. She believes that comprehensive health, based on nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress relief, and modalities such as TCM, Ayurveda, yoga and meditation help our whole bodies. When our bodies are well, our skin reflects that. Working with the other practitioners, she creates a customized plan for your skincare needs, and enhances her treatments with her calming presence and healing hands, creating a nurturing experience, and positive energetic exchange. Self care is soul care, and choosing to take a moment to focus on your wellbeing is worth the investment. She’s grateful to be working alongside the Balanced Thistle team to bring you truly HOLISTIC, health centric beauty.
Kandi Jo Arnold, Lead Aesthetics Trainer
L.E., L.M.T.
Kandi is a Colorado native who loves flowers, dark chocolate, hot tea, chasing sunsets, and time spent with her beautiful daughter. After her experiences with medical esthetics, Kandi went searching for healthier alternatives and now has advanced training in traditional Chinese cosmetic Gua Sha, facial analysis, and reflexology for beauty through the Nefeli Corp. She’s been a massage therapist for even longer than her time spent in aesthetics and has narrowed her focus to specializing in lymphatic massage to optimally help her patients. The energy and intention she brings to her practice guides each client to revitalize their mind, body and spirit and tap into their true essence of health and beauty.
Kandi is not currently working with clients at Balanced Thistle, she’s teaching these techniques around the world. And right here at Balanced Thistle!
