A MESSAGE FROM CANDICE

Meet Candice: The Heart and Soul Behind Ritual Skin + Soul Candice has been a practitioner in the holistic field for nearly 20 years. Her passion for skincare began at a young age when she would experiment with homemade masks using ingredients found in her family’s kitchen. This curiosity blossomed into a lifelong love for nurturing the skin and soul. In 2004, Candice became a licensed esthetician and began her career at a medical spa. However, it didn’t take long for her to realize that her path was calling her toward something deeper—a journey that extended beyond skincare and into the holistic care of the mind, body, and spirit. Driven by this calling, she became a registered yoga teacher, certified hypnotherapist, and earned her degree in metaphysical sciences and psychology, with a minor in business. A Decade of Deep Spiritual Commitment To fully immerse herself in these pursuits, Candice stepped away from skincare for nearly a decade, devoting herself to a spiritual path that guided her back to her most authentic and truest self. Having grown up in a chaotic environment, her intuition led her toward healing and self-discovery. Through unwavering commitment to her growth, she studied with spiritual mentors, healers, and teachers while participating in retreats, ceremonies, workshops, and other healing rituals. Layer by layer, like peeling back an onion, she unearthed her gifts and uncovered her true essence. A Calling to Guide Others Home As Candice emerged from this profound period of transformation, she felt a deep calling to be of service—to help others return home to their True Self by shedding the layers that no longer align with the truth that resides in the heart and spirit. This calling gave birth to Ritual Skin + Soul. A Commitment to Clean, Holistic Care Being highly sensitive—both emotionally and physically—Candice became acutely aware of the impact that chemicals and toxins had on her body. She took drastic measures to cleanse herself, shifting to clean skincare products that aligned with her values. Unable to tolerate working with harsh chemicals found in medical-grade products, she embarked on a mission to find gentle, plant-based alternatives that would be safe and effective for other sensitive individuals as well. After extensive research, she discovered two beautiful product lines that aligned with her vision—products she couldn’t wait to share with her clients. A Unique Weaving of Masteries Candice has found a delightful and unique way to weave together all of her masteries—creating an experience that goes far beyond traditional skincare. Her clients often say that a facial at Ritual Skin + Soul is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced. A New Chapter: Expanding the Vision The first Ritual Skin + Soul studio opened in 2019 in Redondo Beach’s Riviera Village. In May 2023, Candice relocated to Hermosa Beach and welcomed her dear friend and fellow facialist, Cynthia Conant, an Ayurvedic practitioner, to join her in expanding this vision. Together, they are creating an even more vibrant space where healing, self-love, and community thrive.
