hello, i’m tessa
I became a licensed esthetician in 2020 and co-founded Sage & Pine Holistic Skincare in New Mexico in 2022. In 2025, I moved to San Francisco, where I worked as a Master Esthetician at Botnia’s Atelier and launched my own practice, Starbeam Skincare. I’ve since returned to New Mexico, and today I see clients at my treatment room in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. I partner with local, organic skincare brands that share my commitment to sustainability and clean, plant-based products that nurture healthy skin.
Inspired by the natural world, I bring a thoughtful, rhythmic approach to every session, rooted in plant-based ingredients and whole-body wellness. I’m passionate about Ayurveda and herbalism, and I weave both into my customized facials. My treatments blend botanical expertise, breathwork, and specialized massage techniques (neolifting and buccal massage) to balance the skin, calm the nervous system, and leave you feeling refreshed and grounded.
I believe vibrant health empowers dreams and uplifts individuals and communities alike. By honoring skin as a living system, my intention is that you leave the treatment room feeling more relaxed and more connected to yourself than when you came in.
