Healthy Glow Face & Body llc Telluride

Hello I am Karen Marshall

I have been a spa therapist for almost 30 years. In the UK my profession is titled 'Beauty Therapist', I am formally qualified in Spa Management and Spa Therapies, basically I am an all round spa therapist trained in the most basic to advanced esthetics and the full spectrum of bodywork, everything you expect at a quality spa. These days I focus on Holistic skills, Facials and Reflexology which I advanced through post graduate training certification.  During summer resort season I offer stand alone treatments - pedicure, waxing and massage services, during ski season I focus on facials. 

I know my way around a spa. It all started with exercise! I was a qualified fitness instructor in my 20's, it was a hobby running alongside my then successful media career, I taught many classes each week and enjoyed a big following. I soon realized my path was in the wellness industry,  I started to save my big income and then without hesitation I gave up my media career to attend Clarendon College, Nottingham, in the 90's the UK's top spa therapist college. Later aged 41 I moved to Telluride, and once my son was toddling, I  started my very small spa. I had an established name and huge following in England, but here in Telluride I was an unknown solo practitioner among rows of flashy spas and cliquey locals! It took a minute but my skills began to stand out among discerning clients, and this is where my time continues to be spent, I work with second home owners and visitors. I often hear 'the best I've ever experienced' and 'why aren't you on TV', because although I am an introvert 'if you ask I will tell you'!  l appreciate the compliments and recognition, but I achieved my spa ambitions long ago, here in Telluride I live for the flow of calm and traveling.

I am focused on quality services and great client experiences.. I can back engineer whatever the latest facial fad is, it's never new, it's just a new lid and marketing spin on an existing old idea! I do not run a conveyor belt of superficial services, I have time for you, and this is why I have few openings for new clients. I am detailed and have elevated skills with real experience. I only work with the highest quality products, my technique is a combination of all that I learned over 30 years, from college to training with premium luxury global skin and body care brands. My hands on esthetics or body work blends well with my clairsentient - cognizant and audience gifts. 

As with every Telluride story, the San Juans drew me here. My reviews, certificates and portfolio tell the story of my character and professionalism.  I am now 58,  you see me right 5/26/2024 on my way to Banpo Bride in South Korea, yes I am a SHAWOL/ARMY, my admiration for SHINee sent me on an 8000 mile trip to their 16th Anniversary Concert - if you know you know! It took nearly 3 years but the hair dye is gone, my platinum blonde is growing in. Sometimes I want to dye my natural dark shade back in, but I'm all natural, no surgery yet, though I feel ready for an upper/lower eye edit, I am looking tired! I am complimented often but it's just good sun/skin care, CACI, INTRACEUTICALS and my 1% East Asian dna, aka more collagen!.

I have limited space on my client list, so few openings as I split my time, between spa clients and my altitude oxygen business. Please plan to  schedule ahead.
