My journey with food and wellness began at my Grandma Eunie’s table, where she inspired my love for cooking with her famous pastries and hearty Midwest meals. Working in restaurants from Seattle to San Francisco, I learned cooking techniques and wine pairings that deepened my culinary passion. This love for sharing food eventually led to the creation of my original blog, Cooking Loves Company as a space for health inspiration and nutritious recipes. My aim is to empower others to find joy in preparing wholesome meals and to make cooking an enjoyable and nourishing part of life.
In 2009, I began my career as an Esthetician in San Francisco, quickly finding my passion in clinical skincare. I spent seven years working alongside Dr. Kathleen Welsh in a top Bay Area dermatology practice, refining my expertise in results-driven skincare techniques like chemical peels, micro-needling, and dermaplaning. Today, I offer holistic skincare treatments that blend relaxation with visible, lasting results, drawing from both my Health Education background and personal wellness journey. Now back in Kirkland, I enjoy cooking for my family, spending time outdoors, and creating new recipes to share with you. Join me on this journey towards radiant health—both in the kitchen and beyond!

Since I have started working with Carrie my skin has absolutely been transformed. All the things I thought were inevitable - red cheeks from sensitive skin, flakes from dry skin - are gone. Recently someone I hadn’t seen in a while walked into my house and immediately exclaimed about my glowing skin! I could not be happier. Highly recommend this lady’s facials and product recommendations.

Carrie is such a warm, kind and knowledgeable aesthetician. after one facial with her, my skin had a total transformation. She made suggestions for products from different lines to help with problem areas, and literally all of them worked. She made me feel at home and understood and the results were fantastic. I highly recommend Carrie for all your skincare needs.

Carrie gives the best facial, hands down! She is so good at tailoring your appointment to meet your skins needs. She has a ridiculous amount of knowledge about skin care and products. She always makes sure you are able to continue caring for your skin at home. Her facials are so relaxing, I often leave feeling like I had a massage appointment!

Carrie is my go-to for facials, consultations and all things skin care. I've been going to her for years and have seen such a transformation in my skin!
From peels to dermaplaning, anti-aging regimens and product recommendations - you name it, she knows all about it and gives personalized recommendations.
Given her extensive cosmetic dermatology background she has seen it all. A true gem!

A few weeks ago I had the best pumpkin curry soup from the Whole Foods soup bar. The moment I tasted this soup I knew I wanted to make it myself so I snapped a pic of the ingredients list. Thank you Whole Foods for posting this! After a few rounds of testing a I came super close to the original recipe but with my own twist....
