Brooke Gallagher, Licensed Esthetician
The inspiration for Garden Skin Co. is deeply rooted in my lifelong passion for creation, transformation, and innovation. I’ve been an entrepreneur at heart since childhood—crafting, building, and turning ideas into reality. From early ventures like friendship bracelets and lemonade stands to designing innovative solutions in business, I’ve always thrived on bringing visions to life.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Quantitative Analysis, I approach business with both creativity and strategy. But true success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about alignment. A pivotal chapter in my journey led me to step back from the external hustle and turn inward, seeking deeper healing and balance. Through meditation, holistic practices, and self-discovery, I found my way back to my most authentic self.
In 2017, I started experimenting with skincare in my backyard, using fresh botanicals to create natural remedies. What began as a personal project quickly became something more—friends wanted to learn, so I started hosting DIY workshops in the garden, teaching people how to craft their own skincare products. It was hands-on, creative, and deeply rewarding to see others connect with the process.
As my passion deepened, so did my knowledge. I pursued formal training, earning my esthetician license and refining my expertise in skin health. Garden Skin Co. is the culmination of this journey—a fusion of holistic wisdom and clinical efficacy, offering personalized esthetician services alongside take-home skincare remedies that blend science with time-honored apothecary traditions.
The thread that has always guided me is the search for what is real—real beauty, real connection, real presence. I’ve learned that beauty isn’t something we lack or need to chase; it’s something we reveal and express in ways that bring us joy. Whether through stripping life down to its simplest form or elevating what already exists with intention, my journey has always been about embracing what feels true.
Garden Skin is an extension of this—a space where skincare and true beauty are not just about results, but about the experience itself. The most important thing in life is to truly enjoy it, and every facial at Garden Skin is designed to be a moment of deep relaxation, renewal, and presence—an experience to be felt, enjoyed, and remembered.
