  • Founder | Aesthetician | Laser Practitioner

    Facials are my passion and I take a very detailed approach, while still allowing for plenty of massage and relaxation. My goal is to work with clients to find a regimen that is not only effective, but also becomes part of their self-care routine that they are excited about and love.

    For 13 years I’ve worked in the healthcare field and throughout my career I realized I wanted to help people on a more personal level. Since entering the world of aesthetics in 2014, I have learned that there’s so much more to skincare than just what’s on the surface – it’s about creating an experience that stays with people well beyond the treatment room.

That experience ignited her passion for helping others heal their skin and regain confidence.

    Morgan is certified in SkinPen® Microneedling, Hydrafacial®, Laser Hair Removal, and is a Face Reality Level 2 Acne Expert. She specializes in laser treatments, microneedling, chemical peels, Hydrafacial, and advanced corrective facials, with a strong focus on acne management and skin health.

    When she's not behind the desk, Cecelia is often at the San Marcos river, trying local coffee shops, spending time with friends and family, or at home with her cat, Stardrop.
