Hello there!

My name is Karin and I am the owner of Avila Aromatics. I began with aromatherapy 8 years ago and with Gua Sha just a couple of years later. I began with Avila Aromatics selling facial oils 6 years ago and decided to open up my own shop in Milford, New Jersey, in September of 2021. I welcome all people who are looking to learn about and gain results from holistic skincare.

My Story

What has compelled me to remain an esthetician for the past 20 years is passion. Passion for natural beauty, nature, ongoing learning and a desire to help people feel and look their best. I have combined my love for nature with the study of aromatherapy and herbalism. I’ve carried these studies over in tandem with my skincare practice.

 

I was introduced to Gua Sha at the wellness center, Treatment by Lanshin, Brooklyn, NY. Gua Sha reinvigorated my practice and inspired me to study and practice other holistic modalities, such as (Vodder School) Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), Connective Tissue Face Massage (CTM), Face and Ear Reflexology, Reiki Levels one and two and Western Herbalism.

 

When I’m not working I’m attending yoga class, gardening and creating aromatherapy blends for the face, body and spirit. The images on this site of flowers and plants are directly from my garden.

 

In Health and Happiness,

Karin
