    I won't go anywhere else

    Holly is fantastic! She's dedicated to her work and passionate about WHOLE health which is reflected in your skin. And, she gets great results with natural products.

    Monthly Facial

    Thanks Holly for making my face so happy! :) My skin keeps looking and feeling better each and every month.

    An excellent and caring skin care coach

    I've been having regular facials with Holly for four years. I keep coming back to her care because I'm not as diligent as I need to be on my own when it comes to my home regimen and my diet. Hence the title of this review! I know my 43-year-old skin appreciates me for it -- for example, I always get surprised reactions when I tell someone my age. Holly is passionate and dedicated to her work and gives each of her clients customized attention. Her office is a little oasis in Fremont.

    Try it you'll like it

    Mira gave me a wonderful Light Therapy/Vitamin C facial. The space is nice and relaxing and Mira is very knowledgeable. I'll definitely go back!

    great first impression

    I scheduled a facial at Leaf & Water because it was the only spa near my work that was participating in Spa Week. My treatment with Mira exceeded all my expectations. I was running late, and she was gracious and calm. She was attentive and responsive to my questions, and provided me with some great information and products, with no pressure to buy. She gave me an incredibly relaxing facial massage. I have already scheduled my next appointment!

    signature facial

    I went in during spa week and Mira was fabulous! It was so relaxing and enjoyable that I actually dozed off during treatment. And the products divine. They were very light and almost a week later my skin still feels nice. Highly recommended!

    Mira is great!

    This was my first facial with Holly's new team member and she was fantastic. Very warm and friendly, and she clearly knows what she's doing.

    very holistic

    Holly is always looking at the big picture - she doesn't just treat the skin surface - she asks fantastic questions about diet, immune system, exercise, stress - to get a full perspective on the body. I've seen significant improvements since working with Holly.

    HOLLY-ISTIC HEALTH

    I have been enjoying complete skin care from Leaf and Water for four years. As a person managing a chronic disease, it is incomprehensible to imagine going back to the creams and potions filled with all the chemicals and perfumes that I so ardently put on my poor skin for so long. Holly is an impassioned dedicated skin care specialist with a commitment to over-all health; and I am the grateful customer with friends who often comment on how good my skin looks.

    Holly is amazing

    I have been going to Holly for almost a year. My skin tone has evened out and age/sun spots are not as prominent. I trust Holly's opinion and would recommend her services to anyone.

    Great Improvement

    I have noticed a great improvement in my skin health since being treated by Holly and being in my late 60's that is really saying someting. The sessions are always relaxing....to the point I have fallen asleep and always leave looking forward to my next appointment. Also, the products are high quality and easy to use.

    Wonderful service

    Holly is such a great resource not only for skin care but for complimentary service providers (such as nutrition). We love coming to Leaf and Water - always soothing and relaxing.

    A deep understanding of skin health

    Holly has been my go-to aesthetician for over two years and caters each treatment to my skin's needs. Back then my skin was broken out and inflamed and it had been dismissed by most doctors. Working with Holly's naturopathic approach improved not only my skin but my overall health immensely. Holly works with her clients to achieve the best results and addresses skin issues in a holistic manner. She sets very high standards for her products and is the commensurate professional.

    informative and relaxing

    the facial was informative, restorative and relaxing. My skin was analyzed and helpful information and products were suggested to help me get the skin I had when I was much younger. I can't wait to see how much it mproves as i use the new products!

    Bringing out the best in my skin

    Holly at Leaf and Water is more educated about skincare then anyone I have seen before. I have very sensitive skin and her products are wonderful and don't irritate at all. She also works with internal issues that may be a problem for your skin. Her facials are very relaxing/healing - can't wait until the next time!

    awesome!!

    Holly was very professional, knowledgable, and very caring. She wanted to know what my concerns were and taught me how to address it. She helped me choose the best products for my skin type and needs, while keeping in mind that I had a financial budget. It hs been 24 hours since my treatment with her. My skin is glowing, and feels so healthy and soft. It was such a great treatment and experience, I will definitely have to go back! I really trust her judgement... as I see what she did

    Best facial by far

    Holly is the most educated facial technician I've met. Her products are holistic, well-researched, and I appreciate that she shares a description of each product as she applies it and how it helps my skin. She is committed to helping her clients understand the importance of home care and works to customize the regimen tailor-made to each clients needs. How many facial technicians do you know that have certificaton in lymphatic therapy, as well as Reiki?!

    Softest skin I've had in years.

    Holly does a great job. She is careful, thorough, knowledgeable, and deft. My aging, starved, skin has really responded to her treatment and I look forward to continuing to younger.

    Always a great experience

    I've experienced great results with my skin since working with Holly. I trust her judgment and really love the products that she uses and sells. It's always a great experience going.

    Best my skin has looked and felt in years!

    I love the holistic approach Holly takes towards skincare. She has a very special niche, realizing how much the skin is affected not only by external influences but also internal influences and looking at the "big picture" to skincare. Each treatment is very unique and individualized according to what the skin (and client) needs at the time. I've looked for quite some time for someone who has the skills Holly possesses. She's a hidden pearl in the middle of Fremont.

    Great with teenagers

    Our daughter had her first 'session' with Holly to learn the basics of good skin care. She really enjoyed the session and learned a lot - sometimes it's easier coming from another adult instead of your parents!

    Become a Client!!

    Not only did I feel that I received an amazing value for my treatment, but I also feel that Holly is a class act. She is extremely knowledgeable, made me feel very comfortable, and best yet, I felt that she really cared about my skin as well as my overall health. Marvelous.

    My Face Feels Wonderful!

    Finally feel like I have the right products for my skin, and like someone out there can help educate me r.e. my future skin care. Holly is an exceptional practitioner.

    Effective and natural

    Holly's approach is professional, well-researched and totally natural. My skin continues to improve with her treatments and my home care. I often get complimented on the youthfulness of my skin for my age.

    Relaxing, healthy experience for your face

    Holly's approach to holistic facial and body care is caring and gentle. And her artistic nature comes through in how she pays attention to all the details of your time with her so that the experience is relaxing and comfortable and elegant. You leave with a well cared for, happy face and body!

    Toxin-free skin care

    I have finally found someone as passionate about toxin-free skin care as I am. Holly's products are the purest I have found, and they work wonderfully.

    I love Leaf and Water

    My experience is always relaxing, rejuvenating, and most helpful. My skin has greatly improved since seeing Holly. She cares about what she does and is very careful about choosing the products that she works with. I take comfort knowing that she cares about what I do, my health and that of the environment as well. I would highly recommend her.

    Healing Holly

    Holly is a true healer and professional to the core. Her personal journey to radiant health extends into her practice as compassion and understanding of the trials and successes of bringing one's skin into balance. I recommend Leaf and Water to anyone who wants to experience holistic pampering and healing on many levels.

    Healing and Fun--Uses Organic Products.

    Holly is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, helping you to achieve just what you would like with face, eyebrows and eyelashes. She also creates a fun environment where the time flies by. I especially like the organic facial masks that she creates. Highly recommended!

    fantastic experience

    I went for the first time (thank you Spa Week!) and had a fantastic experience. I did the 'light' treatment and it has done wonders already. And I love the all-natural ingredients. Holly has an amazing background - very well-studied, but also a great demeanor. I'll definitely go back!

    best facial yet!

    Fantastic first experience. The studio was beautiful and relaxing. I selected a "clinical and relaxing" facial with an emphasis on acne treatment, and it was the perfect combination. The holistic products felt amazing, and Holly asked lots of questions to try to determine what was happening inside that was causing acne, instead of simply treating the surface of the skin. My skin felt amazing and glowed afterward, and Holly offered options but did not push products, which was nice. I'll be ba

    Loved it!

    Not only was the treatment amazing, but Holly spent a lot of time explaining how my skin works, how products work, and what I can do to improve my skin's appearance. I'm looking forward to my next session!

  • 5

    Fantastic!

    Holly's holistic approach is very soothing and therapeutic. Her passion and knowledge inspired me to think more about not only what I put on my body, but also what I put in it. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and left with some great tips that I have already found very helpful.

    A treat!

    I enjoyed my Vitamin C Light Therapy Facial. It was well done with amazing organic and chemical free products. Each step was explained during the facial but there was also plenty of quiet for relaxation. Then afterward I was informed about how to take care of my skin for long lasting results. I highly recommend treating yourself!

    Great experience

    Holly is very knowledge on different product that are chemical free. She had several great suggestion on my current facial product. Great experience, highly recommended!

    Can't wait to go back!

    This is my first real facial ...it took me over 3 years to finally make an appointment and now I am a convert! If only I had the funds to indulge in my pampering more often! Holly's approach was perfect: I appreciate the nice balance of relaxation and knowledge transfer (I checked the "pampering and clinical" in the initial questionnaire) during the course of the facial. I can’t wait to go back and would recommend this experience for anyone!

    A lasting glow!

    Holly has made my skin have both an inner and outer glow! She not only nourished my skin, my spirit has been uplifted, as well! My partner couldn't believe how healthy and vibrant my skin looked, even the next day! I am committed to maintaining the health and vitality of my skin with Holly's on going help! Holly is truly a lovely person!

    unbelievable customized experience!

    Holly is amazing and in her own league. I am 47 years old and my skin hasn’t looked this good since I can’t even remember when. Holly has customized every single facial to my needs. Her holistic approach leaves my skin looking even more vibrant each time – and this is without any “recovery” time and using all natural skin care – her name on my cell phone is “save face holly” because she is truly saving my face.

    Leaf and Water

    Leaf and Water is a very tranquil spa with excellent receptionist service. Holly has extensive knowledge in organic/ natural skin care and my waxing experience with her was very relaxing and truly a learning experience. My skin was not irritated or red at all after waxing. She has good energy and is a very humble person. Definitely will visit again!

    Skincare with Results

    Holly uses a naturopathic approach to her skincare and has helped determine the root cause of my breakouts. She is very patient and thorough in explaining each step of the treatment and gives tips on how to improve/maintain your skin's appearance through home skincare regimen. Friends and family have commented on the improved clarity of my skin as never having looked better!

    Amazing relaxing experience

    This is my second time going and it was very nice and relaxing experience. My skins is also doing much better now following her advice (first time going was about 4 months ago). My fiancee also swears by her :-P. Definately highly recommended.

    A Treat for Your Skin

    I really enjoy my experience at Leaf and Water. I've gotten the Signature Facial and am doing the Glycolic Glow Facial series. I have seen an improvement in my skin and highly recommend getting a facial from Holly. Holly is very professional and knowledgeable about skin. She has made many recommendations for how I should care for my skin but I never feel pressured to do what she suggests. Make an appointment, you won't regret it!

    Relaxing, holistic, and good for your face experience

    I've been a regular client of Leaf and Water now for two years. I get regular facials to keep my skin clear and healthy which has always been important but more so now because I'm almost 41. I love the results and will continue to be a faithful client.
