Meet Our Therapists

London Elise is the esthetician that everyone wants to share with their friends. You can walk into Soothe feeling down about your skin as well as your life, and after a facial with London, feel like you are glowing from within, with radiant skin, and renewed self-esteem. She is a skin-care expert with 13 years experience, and has been the owner of Soothe for 5 years. She has received numerous awards and accolades, including Allure Magazine's Best Esthetician in San Francisco in 2008, and SF Weekly's Best Spa in 2007. Her goal is to make her clients feel great about themselves, inside and out. London gets excited about helping her community achieve their dreams and goals; living fully with a beautiful aesthetic; and having a great espresso or glass of wine. 


Dana received her California state license in Esthetics in 2006 from San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology. Since that time she has worked at some of the finest spas in San Francisco including Spa Equilibrium of the Ritz Carlton, The Palace and The Monaco. Most recently, she was the lead Esthetician at Dermalounge before joining us at Soothe in 2008. Dana’s intention is to alleviate current skin concerns while also providing advice and recommendations for homecare, thus prolonging and maintaining the effects of your treatment. She believes that often the simplest routines can be the most effective and loves to share her knowledge with her clientele. She specializes in working with sensitive, acne-prone, or aging skin. She is also a fast, skilled, and efficient waxer and tries to make the process as painless as she possibly can. Whether you would like to come in and just be pampered or would like a bit of skincare education, Dana would love to take care of you and meet your needs. Dana says: “The most beautiful thing about being an esthetician is that people come see you on their birthday, which is truly the best compliment one could ask for.”
