Meet Shanti

Integrative Holistic Master Esthetician · Founder of veologē Skincare · Creator of DuraVie

I found my way to esthetics through my own struggles with acne, rosacea, and reactive skin. I know what it feels like to be self-conscious about your skin and frustrated when everything you're told to use only seems to make it worse.

 

During esthetics school, my skin was used as an example of everything not to do. It taught me something I still believe 27 years later: we don't know what we don't know, and it's never too late to support our skin differently. A holistic approach helped me understand how much more there is to skin than what we see on the surface.

 

That experience shaped the kind of esthetician I became and the studio I wanted to create: a place where everyone can show up exactly as they are, feel safe, and know there is no expectation of perfection.

 

Whether you're here for a facial, dermaplaning, brows, lashes, or waxing, I'm here to cut through the noise, help you understand your options, and support you through your own journey.

Your Time at the Studio

A private, one-on-one spa experience, with your appointment time entirely your own.

Before you arrive, the studio is prepared for your visit. The room is warm, clean, and quiet, with thoughtfully chosen aromatherapy, soft linens, blankets, and gentle heat so you can settle in from the moment you arrive.

Years of experience allow each service to flow efficiently without ever feeling rushed. During facials, that means more time for massage, masking, steam, LED light, or other modalities selected for your skin.

Whatever brings you in, you can expect a calm, welcoming space and thoughtful attention throughout your visit.

"I've been visiting Shanti's Studio for over three years now and have always had the best experience I could imagine. Shanti has a balance of talent and experience that earns instant trust, and keeps it for the long term. She is professional, knowledgeable, and has a kind heart. Appointments are actually fun, and I always leave feeling more like myself. I can't recommend her enough... this is the best place I've ever been to!"
— Kristin I.

"Shanti's pride and enthusiasm for the work she does shows with each visit. The spa is warm and inviting, and Shanti makes you feel like an honored customer, no matter who you are."

The skincare behind every
treatment

veologē Youth Serum, Refining Glycolic Serum, and Rescue Serum skincare collection.

Every product used in your treatment at Shanti’s Studio is from veologē, a professional skincare line developed by Shanti over 27 years of integrative holistic practice.

 

veologē was built around the concept of Buffered Actives. Every proven active ingredient is balanced within a high concentration of antioxidants and barrier-supporting botanicals, so the skin is treated and supported at the same time. Results build gradually and sustainably.

 

Gentle yet active. That balance is intentional.

 

veologē products are available for retail purchase online and in the studio.

veologē was formerly known as Vie by Shanti. The philosophy, the formulas, and the founder have not changed.

Ready to begin?

Shanti’s Studio is open Thursday through Saturday by appointment only. Every treatment is tailored to your skin, your lifestyle, and what you need right now.
