Meet Gabrielle
Hi, I’m Gabrielle, the licensed esthetician and founder behind Cura Facial Therapy.
My approach to esthetics is centered around understanding the skin rather than simply treating what appears on the surface. I believe some of the best results come from balancing effective treatment with respect for the skin barrier, and from creating a plan that evolves as your skin does.
Every appointment is an opportunity to slow down, understand what your skin is communicating, and give it exactly what it needs that day.
My goal is for you to leave not only with skin that feels cared for, but with a better understanding of your skin and confidence in how to care for it between treatments.
I look forward to welcoming you to Cura.
How I Work
-
We believe skincare should be personal, not one-size-fits-all. Every facial at Cura is curated to your skin — its needs, its history, and how it responds over time. We start by listening to what your skin is telling us, then build a plan that respects your skin barrier while still delivering real results.
-
Exceptional skincare begins with knowledge. That means using carefully selected professional products, taking a personalized approach with every client, and never treating results as a one-time fix. Balanced, healthy skin comes from intentional care — consistent, thoughtful, and built to evolve as your skin does.

Cura Facial Therapy was founded by licensed esthetician Gabrielle Riddle on a simple idea: that the best skincare comes from understanding, not guesswork. What started as a belief in listening closely to each client's skin has grown into a practice built around curated treatment plans and lasting skin health.
Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose.
The name Cura reflects our purpose: care. Inspired by the Latin word cura, meaning care, our vision is to redefine facial therapy through thoughtful, intentional care that nurtures both skin and confidence.
We strive to cultivate a practice where every client feels genuinely cared for through education, personalized treatments, and enduring relationships. By combining knowledge, intention, and evidence-informed skincare, we empower clients to cultivate healthy, resilient skin-not just for today, but for a lifetime.
At Cura Facial Therapy, we believe beautiful skin is not achieved through trends, but through thoughtful care over time.
