Meet Gabrielle

Hi, I'm Gabrielle, the licensed esthetician and founder behind Cura Facial Therapy. My approach is centered around understanding the skin rather than simply treating what appears on the surface — creating a plan that evolves as your skin does.

Our philosophy

EVIDENCE.
Every treatment is grounded in what your skin actually needs, not trends, not guesswork. We start by understanding what's beneath the surface.

RITUAL.
Skincare is more than a service. Each appointment is a moment to slow down and reconnect with your skin, treatment after treatment.

RESULTS.
Balanced, healthy skin isn't an accident — it's the outcome of care that respects your skin barrier and evolves as your skin does.

New to Cura?

We start by listening — to your skin, and to you — before deciding what it needs. We'll take time to understand your skin, talk through what it needs, and make sure every step feels right before we begin.

Your skin deserves a moment of care.
