MySelf
Professional acne facial treatment with LED therapy

Ayurvedic
Acne Clinic

In Natick or online

Acne is complex, and it rarely has a single cause. As an Ayurvedic Doctor (AyD), not a medical doctor, licensed esthetician and Certified Acne Specialist, I combine Ayurvedic principles with professional esthetic acne care to build a program around your skin. The program runs four months, in my Natick studio or online.

The Ayurvedic Difference

Why an Ayurvedic Approach to Acne?

Many people come to me after trying product after product and still not understanding why their skin breaks out. Ayurveda looks at the whole person, not only the skin.

Together we look at the patterns behind your breakouts, such as digestion, food, stress, sleep, your cycle and the products you use, and I build a program around them: a home routine, food and daily habits suited to your skin, and regular check-ins to adjust as your skin changes.

My work complements medical care and never replaces it. If you use prescription treatment, please keep following your doctor's advice.

Gentle on Your Skin

Professional acne care and herbal preparations chosen for your skin, without harsh scrubs or stripping routines.

The Whole Picture

We look at food, digestion, stress, sleep and your routine, not only at where you break out.

Care That Continues

You finish the program with a home routine and daily habits you can keep following on your own.

The Three Parts of Your Acne Program

Whether you come to my Natick studio or work with me online, every program has the same three parts.

Home Skincare Routine

A routine built around your acne type, how sensitive your skin is, your age and your Fitzpatrick skin type.

Food & Daily Habits

Changes to food and daily routine that support clearer skin. Clients who follow them consistently tend to see the most change.

Regular Check-Ins

Every two weeks we look at how your skin is responding and adjust your routine, in my Natick studio or by video. Between check-ins, you can send me questions by text.

Optional: add professional acne facials at the studio for deeper cleansing and extractions.

Acne Consultation & Cleansing Facial

A first visit for anyone with breakouts who wants clear guidance and hands-on care in the same appointment.

We start with a consultation: your skin history, the products you use now, and your food, sleep and stress. I look at your skin closely, tell you which acne pattern I see, and explain what tends to set it off.

Then comes a deep-cleansing facial matched to your skin: gentle cleansing and exfoliation, careful extractions where needed, and a calming mask to finish.

You leave with fresher, calmer-looking skin and a list of first steps for home care. For a full written protocol and support over time, continue with the Acne Consultation & Protocol or the 4-Month Ayurvedic Acne Program.

  • Full 60-minute consultation
  • Professional acne facial
  • Extractions (as needed)

What to Expect Over Four Months

Changing how your skin behaves takes steady work, and you won't be doing it alone. Here is how the program is paced.

1

Weeks 1–2: Getting started

Your consultation, then your written protocol within 3 business days. It covers your home skincare routine, food and daily habits, and herbs where I recommend them. You switch to your new routine and begin the first changes.

2

Weeks 3–8: Steady adjustments

A check-in every two weeks, in the studio or by video. We adjust products and habits as your skin responds. Some people notice a short spell of extra breakouts after changing their routine; we'll talk about what to expect at your consultation.

3

Weeks 9–16: Making it your own

We focus on caring for marks left by old breakouts, supporting your skin barrier, and making your routine and habits easy to keep. Check-ins continue every two weeks.

With the 3-facial package, your facials are spaced across the four months, at times we plan together.

Acne Patterns I Work With

Breakouts look different from person to person, and each pattern calls for a different approach. These are the ones I see most often.

Hormonal-pattern breakouts

Along the jawline, chin and lower cheeks, often changing with your cycle. In Ayurveda, this pattern usually reflects Pitta and Vata together. The focus is a calm, consistent routine and food and habits that suit your type.

Deep, tender bumps (cystic acne)

Painful bumps that sit under the surface and don't come to a head. In Ayurveda, this is typically a Kapha pattern. Cystic acne that is severe or leaves scars should also be seen by a dermatologist; I'm glad to work alongside them.

Redness and sensitive-skin breakouts

Persistent redness, small visible vessels and inflamed bumps that flare with heat, alcohol or stress. In The Skin Dosha Method™, this picture lives in two skin types, Wildfire and Ember. They look alike but need opposite care, which is why getting your type right matters most here. If you haven't had rosacea confirmed by a doctor, it's worth doing.

Blackheads, whiteheads and milia

Clogged pores, blackheads and small, hard white bumps. Milia are often mistaken for whiteheads and need a different approach. The focus is gentle professional extractions and a home routine that keeps pores clear.

Not sure which pattern is yours? We work it out together at your consultation.

Common Questions

Is the online program as complete as coming in person?

Yes. Both include the consultation, your written protocol, the home routine, food and daily-habit guidance, and check-ins every two weeks, at the same price. The only difference is that studio clients can add professional facials.

I don't live near Natick. Can I still work with you?

Yes. The online program works from anywhere, with video check-ins and questions by text in between.

How is this different from seeing a dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who can diagnose skin conditions and prescribe medication. I am not. My work is esthetic and Ayurvedic: your home routine, professional facials, and food and daily habits suited to your skin. Many clients see both, and I'm glad to work alongside your doctor.

Can I keep using medication my doctor prescribed?

Yes. Please keep following your doctor's advice, and tell me what you use at your consultation so your routine fits around it.

Do I need to change what I eat?

Food is one of the three parts of every program, but changes are gradual and personal. I won't hand you a rigid meal plan. We find the foods that seem to affect your skin and replace them with ones you enjoy.

Will my skin get worse before it gets better?

Some people notice a short spell of extra breakouts in the first weeks of a new routine, usually where they already break out. Not everyone does. If breakouts appear in new places or continue beyond a few weeks, tell me at your next check-in, or sooner by text, so we can adjust. If your skin becomes painful, swollen or very irritated, stop the new products and see a doctor.

Are products included?

No. Home-care products are not included in the program price. I recommend what suits your skin at your consultation.

Ready to Start?

Begin with a consultation, in Natick or online. I serve clients in Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, Newton and across MetroWest Massachusetts, and online from anywhere.
