Hi, I’m Laurel, your guide.
I Did Not Create This Wisdom.
I Remembered It.
I grew up on Lookout Mountain, surrounded by the ancient green of Appalachia.
Long before I understood plants as medicine, I understood them as presence.
But SkinLove did not begin there.
It began years later, when I looked into the mirror and saw a face I was not ready to recognize.
I was in my early thirties. Sun damage, wrinkles, blemishes and changes I thought belonged to a much older woman had begun appearing quickly.
But there was something else looking back at me, too.
I could see my story on my face.
Stress. Grief. Patterns I had carried too long. Things I had survived. Things I had not yet healed.
I began because I wanted to change my skin.
What followed became an eighteen-year journey into something much deeper.
The Skin Became the Doorway.
I studied plants.
I studied meditation.
I spent nine months immersed in a meditation school. I trained in plant medicine through Cornell. I became certified in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique and guided more than one hundred people through regression work.
I learned from a Native American medicine keeper. I worked with psychotherapists, energy healers and shamans.
And then life initiated me in the way no school could.
I went through my own dark night of the soul.
Everything I thought I understood about healing became something I had to live.
And somewhere inside that unraveling, I began to understand why working only with the physical body had never felt like enough.

We Are More Than the Matter.
I began experiencing plants differently—not simply as collections of chemical constituents, but as living beings with which I could enter into relationship.
I learned what it felt like to become quiet enough to listen.
To work with meditation, breath, touch, emotion, intention and plant spirit as part of the same conversation.
To notice what happened in my body when an old story changed.
To notice what happened in my face when something I had been carrying finally softened.
The deeper I traveled inward, the more beautiful the practice became.
The face was never separate from the healing.
It was one of its expressions.
SkinLove Grew From That Remembering.
Over the years, I began guiding others through this work. Hundreds of people have now entered the SkinLove practice through my hands and teaching.
What began as a search for younger-looking skin became a body of knowledge devoted to something much larger:
the forgotten art of self-regeneration.
SkinLove brings together the physical and the energetic—the measurable and the mysterious.
Botanical medicine.
Touch.
Facial movement.
Meditation.
Breath.
Fascia.
The subconscious.
Plant spirit medicine.
Elemental frequency medicine.Not because I believe your face needs to be fixed.
Because I believe it can become a place where you learn to listen.
Skincare for the Soul.
Today, when I look into the mirror, I do not see a woman fighting time.
I see the evidence of eighteen years spent coming home to herself.
And that is what I want to pass forward.
Not a promise that life will leave no marks upon you.
Not a war against aging.
Something far more beautiful:
a way of becoming so deeply inhabited that the face looking back at you begins to feel like home.
You may come to SkinLove because you want to look younger.
Come exactly as you are.
We will begin with your skin.
And then we will follow the message home.
Because perhaps the most beautiful face is not the one untouched by time.
It is the one you can finally look at with love.
This is the work I carry forward.
This is SkinLove.
“It’s been my honor to share the Earth wisdom that’s been gifted to me over the years with others who need it now so that they can share it with those who will need it in generations to come.”
Plant Medicine is scientifically proven to regenerate Skin
Whatever your age, plants can create total transformation.
