🤔 What If Everything You Know About Skincare Is Wrong?

🌱 A Natural Path to Radiant Skin: Lavender & Thyme

In a charming 1950s cabin along Shoup Road, Marissa Searle offers more than skincare—she offers transformation. Over 20 years ago, Marissa faced one of the most challenging chapters of her life. After gaining 105 pounds during her first pregnancy, she struggled with feeling disconnected from her body and her sense of self. Searching for answers, she embarked on a journey to reclaim her health and confidence. Along the way, she uncovered a profound truth: true radiance begins from within.

This realization sparked a passion for wellness that changed everything. Through years of studying herbalism and botanical aesthetics, Marissa found ways to heal not just the skin but the person beneath it. Her personal journey from struggle to empowerment fuels her mission to help you feel confident and radiant.

At Lavender & Thyme Holistic Skin Therapy + Apothecary, Marissa combines time-tested herbal wisdom with modern techniques to help you achieve lasting results. Her treatments stimulate natural collagen production, reduce inflammation, and restore your skin's youthful glow – all without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.

In her serene apothecary, Marissa handcrafts small-batch wellness products using therapeutic herbs and natural ingredients. Her best-selling magnesium butter helps you find peaceful sleep, while her herbal facial oils target fine lines and uneven tone. Each formula is rooted in her extensive knowledge of over 65 healing herbs.

As a single mother of three, Marissa understands the importance of self-care and renewal. She takes time to listen to your story, creating personalized treatment plans that address both your immediate concerns and long-term skin health goals.

Experience the natural difference at Lavender & Thyme. Visit Fri 10-4 (closed 11:30-1), Sat 10-4 and Sun Noon-3 (through Dec 31) to explore Marissa's natural skincare collection or schedule your personal consultation to begin your journey toward healthier, more radiant skin.

Find Lavender & Thyme at 6755 Shoup Rd in Black Forest. Call (719) 571-9737 or her website (site updates in progress). Follow on Facebook for latest updates and seasonal offerings.
