Jessi Slavich

Jessi Slavich started Vena Cava Holistic Facials, where she works as a holistic esthetician, licensed massage therapist and flower essence practitioner. She holds LMT and LE licenses, has been a licensed massage therapist since 2000, and has held a holistic facialist license since 2017. She has given over 5,000 facials and massage treatments.

Her training covers advanced myofascial release focused on the neck, jaw and cranium, neuromuscular therapy, craniosacral therapy, cupping, gua sha, manual lymphatic drainage, and several courses in intra-oral techniques. She also completed dissection of unembalmed human cadavers through the Upledger Institute. She is a certified flower essence practitioner, trained by Ruth Toledo Altschuler through Flower Essence Services in 2023, and a certified mental health peer support specialist. Her academic background includes dual bachelor's degrees in Black Studies and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Her practice centers on facial massage aimed at well-aging and nervous system support, often for clients who prefer a natural approach over injections or fillers. She takes an anatomy-focused view and holds that stress, stagnation and neglect, more than time alone, drive aging. She also works as a somatic bodyworker and offers the Monastery Facial, the Meder BioFacial, the Sculpting Buccal Facial and flower essence consultations. Her availability is reserved for clients on monthly facials or Sculpting Buccal Facial series, and new clients are encouraged to book with Lydia or Louise.
