Meredith Carmen
Licensed Massage Therapist, MLD-C
After over a decade as a veterinary nurse, Meredith found herself yearning for new ways to foster healing—approaches that could enhance quality of life without the more invasive techniques she had come to know in veterinary medicine. Her journey into the world of massage therapy began when she researched its benefits and experienced them firsthand. This led her to enroll in a massage program at the Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies, with the intention of adapting these techniques for animals. Initially hesitant about “touching people,” she was pleasantly surprised to discover how much she loved it! This revelation transformed her career path, guiding her into the human health field.
After graduating from Lourdes in 2011, Meredith became a traveling in-home massage therapist, working at day spas and within a major hospital system, where she provided therapeutic massage for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
In 2018, motherhood entered her life, prompting her to devote over two years to nurturing her baby. During this time, she explored her identity as a mother and tapped into the innate healing wisdom that accompanies this role. Meredith focused on becoming comfortable and confident in her own skin, learning to harness the intrinsic healing mechanisms we all possess, and helping her clients do the same.
Her passion for healing naturally extended into the realm of natural beauty. Meredith wanted to show others that caring for one’s skin and enhancing natural beauty doesn’t have to involve harsh, toxic products. Inspired by her daughter, she aimed to model appreciation for the human body as a life-giving vessel. Her mission is to help clients engage with their skin through a lens of gratitude, revitalizing their features using pure, organic methods—like massage and lymphatic drainage—that rejuvenate rather than traumatize the skin.
Meredith believes in the interconnectedness of our biology and that the right therapies can simultaneously improve both our appearance and health, allowing us to radiate wellness from within.
In 2020, she became Manual Lymphatic Drainage Certified through The Manual Lymphatic Drainage Institute and earned her Facial Gua Sha certification from The Green Beauty Academy. By 2021, she had also achieved Clinical Wellness Certification from ASTECC for Vodder-Style Manual Lymph Drainage. Currently, she is studying to become an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, while deepening her expertise in lymphatic techniques through the Chikly Institute. With each step of her journey, Meredith continues to inspire others to embrace their natural beauty and well-being.
