Esthetician · Researcher · Multidisciplinary Artist
Elloise is a California based licensed esthetician and multidisciplinary practitioner working at the intersection of skin health, neuroscience, bodywork, and embodied care.
She began her career in 2017 specializing in inflammatory skin conditions. Her experience spans through various sectors of the industry including day spas, dermatology, medical spas, and professional education. As an esthetics teacher, Elloise fell in love with biology and returned to academia where she began her neuroscience training. Her work in esthetics has continued alongside her research, continuing her education with advanced study and certification in corrective treatments, electric modalities, facial massage, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage techniques, meditation, and energy-based practices.
FLORAFORM grew from the merging of these disciplines.
The practice approaches skin holistically, viewing it as a living system with connections to the various systems of the body. Ultimately, she believes the use of wellness is for the experience of pleasure.
Our Philanthropy
ripples of the form
Our philosophy is rooted in participation within our Bay Area community and accessible aesthetic wellness for every body.
We contribute a portion of our service revenue to support the work and ongoing relationships between FLORAFORM and the people & organizations helping our East Bay community flourish. These are our FLORA Partners.
Additionally, we create opportunities for direct access to care through community programming, partner benefits, and the FLORAFORM Flow Fund. The fund provides ongoing treatment to community members who may otherwise be unable to access professional skin care for their existing skin conditions. Every quarter our members are encouraged to submit entries into a lottery. One candidate is selected at random to receive 3 months worth of services and additional homecare benefits throughout the duration of their treatment.
