holistic facial and massage by love and esthetics

Holistic Facials and Massage, Personalized for You and Powered by Love

Soothe your soul as you nourish your skin and body from the inside out.

It’s time to redefine beauty as health, reframe relaxation as self-love, and model a new way of finding confidence as we age.

Skincare can start to feel stressful as we age. Unrealistic beauty standards leave so many women feeling defeated and turning to injectables, fillers, and surgical treatments that undermine the health of their skin.

If you want a natural alternative that helps you feel great and love what you see in the mirror, Love & Esthetics can help.

Every Love & Esthetics service is customized to you and focuses on relaxation first. Once your nervous system is calm, we use gentle techniques and plant-based ingredients to bring out your skin's natural beauty.

. . .my skin has never felt or looked better . . .

“I’ve had 3–4 services with Jenn now and they all have been amazing. I’ve had two facials and with her recommendations my skin has never felt or looked better. I’ve also had two massages and they are phenomenal. Totally relaxing and I leave feeling like I just got a body reset. Highly recommend! Jen is amazing! So personable and professional. Makes you feel super comfortable!”

. . . so serene it’s unreal.

“I've had several facials with Jen and they've all been incredible! My favorite is the Lymph Love Facial because it's super relaxing and benefits the whole body. I also just love the spa itself. The space is beautifully decorated and so serene it's unreal. There's even a little cozy space to sit and enjoy tea!”

“Love & Esthetics is clean and tranquil. It’s as warm and as welcoming as its owner Jen Anderson. When people compliment my skin, I tell them ‘Go see Jen Anderson. Do what she says, make the changes she suggests, use the products she recommends, and book your facials with her regularly.’ It’s as simple as that, people!

Buccal massage ~ Intra Oral Massage… your natural Botox alternative 🙌

The more I dive into this technique the more impressed I am with its results…

• scultped facial features
• fine lines reduced/less intense
• sinus pressure reduced
• tmj/tension relief
• less puffiness around eyes
• a healthier, brighter complexion

There’s also a sense of relief after this type of massage, as the jaw holds ALOT of stress and emotions.

BUT in order to experience these results consistency is KEY! 5 treatments over 8 weeks is recommended, and then monthly maintenance.

With a more holistic approach to aging, the results will come at a slow and steady pace. With buccal massage we are supporting your skins natural processes so that it will naturally repair, brighten, lift, and clear all on its own!

I am offering a new service, the Flush & Sculpt Facial Massage Series (5 treatments best to use within 7 weeks) $750 (save $175!) dm for more info ❤️

Gifting doesn’t have to be complicated!

The Apricity Experience… A treatment designed around the feelings of winter.

The coziness of a soft blanket, the comfort of a hot cup of cocoa, the warmth of the sun through the window.

Find your calm this season ❄️ book the Apricity Experience online using the link in our bio (find it under specials)

It’s almost here!!! Scroll to see what we are offering this year for our Black Friday deal!!

Love & Esthetics will be donating a portion of sales from Friday to @bravebearsclubco to supply books and stuffed animal bears to children diagnosed with Epilepsy at Boston Children’s Hospital.

When Rose was diagnosed I received a bear and book from @bravebearsclubco. The book explained epilepsy in children’s terms to my oldest two kids so they were able to understand what was happening to their sister. And the bear was a source of comfort during very uncomfortable EEGs.

Check them out @bravebearsclubco

I just love a good foot soak 🛁

Meet Susie!!

Susie is our new (and much needed!) massage therapist at Love & Esthetics! Yay!

I actually received a treatment from her today and I CANNOT WAIT for you all to experience her massage techniques. She is soothing yet firm, and finds all the right spots! You never know how tight you are until you receive body work, and how GOOD you feel after!

Her schedule is now live on the booking site (link in bio). She starts in December and will be with us Mondays 2-8 and Saturdays 9-3 (yes we finally have weekend appointments!).

Can’t wait for you to meet her ❤️

I posted about having a photo shoot in my stories a few weeks back…. Let me tell you I am obsessed with every photo.

@katiephelanphotography did such an incredible job and I am so thankful for her. She captured my business perfectly!

Here’s a sneak peak

Whenever there is chaos in my world, coming here is the pause I need.

November is all about gratitude, and I have so much to be grateful for, including this sanctuary of calm 🙏

I hope no matter how you are feeling today you can find a moment of peace and gratitude ❤️

When I opened my own business I had so many hopes and dreams and visions of it…..

Laundry was not one of them yet consumes 98% of my time and energy

One thing I don’t mind about it getting darker earlier…

The cozy vibes at the spa!

A few ways I have been taking care of myself lately…

1. One big one is I started pelvic floor therapy with @drkellynsnow. this is something I knew I’ve needed and have pushed off for a long time. Today I had an aha moment and realized how badly I needed it.

2. I started getting meals delivered by @thistleco . It’s been 4 weeks now and I’ve lost weight and feel so much healthier already. (I have no affiliation with them). As a busy mom and business owner meal prepping is just non existent right now and their meals make it so much easier to eat healthy.

3. Getting outside and walking even if it’s for 10 minutes. Fresh air & sunshine should be a part of every health care providers list of treatments because it really does a lot for the body both mentally and physically.

I’m really trying to stick to my boundaries with work, and take care of myself. Everyone says you can’t pour from an empty cup but sometimes you don’t even know your cup is empty until you start filling it ❤️

It’s funny how your mindset constantly shifts with the seasons of life.

I had so many ideas for this room, but as I’m in the throws of parenting 3 children my priorities have shifted and so has my business plan.

It’s hard juggling life, home, kids, business, and self.

I have learned that in order to be present, and succeed at any of the above, I have to use my time and energy wisely.

One day I will have more time to host workshops and professional classes, but until then I am looking for other professionals who are looking for a beautiful room to host their events ❤️

If you’ve got an idea but need the space to bring it to light, message me 🙌

Caring for your skin and body naturally, from the inside out, can transform how you look, feel, and live.

I’m so grateful to empower women to discover beauty that glows from the inside out. Let’s model a different way for the next generation as we redefine beauty and reclaim health.

Book your next appointment at L&E and learn to feel at home in your skin 🥰

Lymphatic drainage is a fan favorite at L&E for a number of reasons.

Although the shift is subtle on the surface, it is making waves underneath!

Just a few of my favorite benefits…

💧Clearing the skin by filtering out cellular waste
💧Reducing puffiness and swelling by flushing excess fluids
💧Maintaining a healthy immune system
💧Calming and resetting the nervous system

I use a combination of heat therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, cupping, and lymphatic brushing in my treatments.

I was luckily enough to learn from world renowned spa educator, Cecily Braden, using her proprietary brush and technique to activate lymphatic system function, and am proud to say I am one of only a handful of practitioners in Massachusetts trained in this technique!

Want to give it a try? Book using the link in bio 😍

When wanting to start a lymphatic self care routine at home, the most important place to start is your neck!

Specifically, you want to start brushing right about your collarbone, where your subclavian veins are located. This is the “transfer station” where your lymph will flow back into the circulatory system.

Once this area has been “opened”, then you want to slowly work your neck, continuing to move the fluid down into the “transfer station”.

Around the ear is also an important area to work as there are many lymph nodes hanging out here!

This is a soft bristle brush from @the_lymphatic_brush ❤️

Plant magic 🪄

All ingredients from @wildernorthbotanicals ❤️ used exclusively in our spa, and the only place in Massachusetts that you can receive a facial with these powerful botanicals!

When I was in esthetic school (18 years ago 😳) I was taught the cleansing portion of the facial should only be a few minutes.

My teachers would die if they knew my cleansing process lasts anywhere from 15-20 minutes now.

The cleanse is the most important step, and I have learned there is NO need to rush this, in fact the completely opposite should happen and the Esthetician should take.their.time for all of the reasons listed in the reel.

The cleanse is the first touch, it is the opening to the facial, it is going to set the tone for how the client, aka you, receive the work.

It is also your first impression of me and my work, and I want to make sure it’s a good one 😘

Important info in some of these slides so swipe and read!!

I wanted to post this because I have had a few clients and friends reach out about post surgical MLD.

I hate turning anyone away, but I would also NEVER work on someone without knowing 100% what I am doing and being properly trained.

Always make sure you ask credentials especially when you are someone who has major health issues or surgical procedures.

There are so many wonderful benefits to MLD and in many cases it is completely safe to have it done. In order for it to be EFFECTIVE the practitioner should have some type of advanced training. Unfortunately this is very unregulated in MA.

I’m happy to answer questions or recommend another therapist/practitioner who IS trained in oncology/post surgical care. ❤️

Happy Monday ❤️

Yesterday I announced the Lymphatic Season Special!

I hope it encourages you to try something different at the spa and to start loving on your lymph so you can thrive this fall/winter!

We also have a sound bath workshop scheduled for October so check that out!

Nothing much to say today, but the algorithm tells me to post so here I am 😂

I’ll be back at the spa tomorrow 😘

LYMPH LOVE SPECIAL!!!

$20 off Lymphatic Full Body Treament
$15 off Lymphatic Drainage Face & Neck add on
$10 off Full Body Lymphatic Brushing add on
FREE sample size of Lymph Loving Oil with all Lymphatic Facials

Instead of focusing on “cold & flu” season, let’s flip the script.

Let’s focus on lymphatic health season.

As a key player in the immune system, the lymphatic system takes out the trash, removing virus’s and bacteria that can cause unwanted illness.

Fall is the perfect time of year to start improving your lymphatic health, so that you can get through these cooler months healthier, happier, and lighter 🙌

Now through November 30th!

You can tell you’re in for something special from the moment you arrive at L&E.

It is the small details that make a lasting impression, and we craft a truly nourishing experience from start to finish.

No skimping, rushing, or greenwashing. Everything is powered by love, pure botanical ingredients, and specialized techniques to treat the skin from the inside out.

The L&E mission is to empower women to discover beauty that glows from within, to redefine unrealistic beauty standards, and to reclaim health through holistic practices that feel good.

Visit us at Love & Esthetics to relax, repair, rejuvenate, and show yourself some love!

Join us for a night of self reflection, clearing what no longer serves you, and harnessing the power of the full moon to energetically charge our soul 🌕

Wendy from @wendysways will be guiding us utilizing meditations, cacao ceremony, card pulls and ending with a sound bath.

October 25th, limited spots available!

Massage doesn’t need to be complicated….

Sometimes all the body needs to release tension is the touch of a hand. Our body holds onto everything, especially our emotions, and often it just needs a little tender love and care ❤️

Deep tissue massage has its time and place, but it’s not the only option to release tension and live pain free 💆‍♀️

Whenever I mention facial cupping I end up getting a lot of questions!

NO it does not cause bruising! That is the number one question I get asked.

Cupping the face is a very different technique. The goal is to stimulate fluid drainage from underneath the surface of the skin. Creating a light suction gently lifts the skin, creating a bit of space in the tissue for fluids to flow more freely. As we move the cup, the fluid moves with it.

We are always directing that fluid into the lymph nodes, so that it can be filtered and then sent back into circulation, and eventually eliminated.

My favorite thing about facial cupping is it is a true holistic experience because anytime we stimulate the lymphatic system, it creates a chain reaction throughout the entire body! It is also deeply relaxing, and leaves your skin absolutely glowing 🌟

If you are a professional and want to learn more feel to DM me about the lymph love & cupping workshop happening October 20th!

I have been seeing a lot new faces, all referred by YOU!!

I am so grateful for every single person that walks through my doors, for all of my clients who hype me up to their friends and family, and to have a business that I love that helps me to also support my family ❤️

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!

(Rose is grabbing a whole pile of business cards to hand out to her friends 😂)
