The Story Behind Our Mission
Founder Jessica experienced the loss of her son in 2017. Here is her story in her words:
It was my first pregnancy and I was 42 weeks gestation. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was rushed to the hospital for an emergency c section. I was given general anesthesia by the staff and when I finally awoke, I was informed that my precious baby did not survive. This news was earth shattering, yet due to the anesthesia I couldn’t fully process what was being told to me. I held him in my arms until it was apparent that death was manifesting on his delicate skin and I begrudgingly had to say my final goodbye to my son.
About 3 years after the death of Mickaël, I slowly started to feel a shift and was beginning to feel a little bit of hope for the future. I was about to turn 30 and I desperately wanted to love myself again. I started by incorporating a simple skincare routine and for whatever reason, that mundane, menial task provided me with just enough excitement to actually get out of bed, put myself together and do something for myself…to show myself a little bit of love and remind myself that I was worthy of being taken care of.
Eventually, I was inspired enough to go back to school for the third time and obtain my license as an esthetician. During my time there, I became fascinated with the healing benefits of touch and how therapeutic and sacred the ritual of performing a facial was presenting itself to be.
My hope is to continue my efforts in keeping Mickaël’s legacy alive and giving back to the bereaved community that so graciously kept me afloat for many years and was a big support system for me during my grieving process.
