About Arukah

Where healing
begins within

Arukah

"An ongoing process of restoration to wholeness — including emotional, physical, and spiritual soundness."

Hebrew · אֲרוּכָה

Hi, I'm Stephanie O'Brien, owner and therapist at Arukah Holistic Skin Care. With more than 25 years in skin care and nutritional health, my passion is sharing the knowledge and experience I've built — one client at a time.

Arukah offers you a fresh approach to skin care. You will be advised of exactly what your skin needs — and what it does not need. You'll experience a sense of retreat in a unique environment that combines relaxation, nutritional counseling, and therapeutic treatments tailored specifically for you.

Health is inner beauty expressed outwardly. No hyped-up treatments or faddish formulas can achieve truly healthy skin.

You will receive guidance on the lifestyle habits that support skin health, along with customized products designed to nurture and nourish your skin. My goal, simply put, is to help you bring the best of yourself to the surface.

What you'll receive

An honest assessment of exactly what your skin needs — and just as important, what it doesn't.

What you'll feel

A genuine sense of retreat. Calm, private, and entirely focused on you.

What you'll learn

How nutrition and lifestyle connect to your skin — and how to work with both.

What you'll take home

Customized products selected and recommended specifically for your skin type and goals.

Treatments crafted
for your skin

Every service at Arukah begins with a thorough consultation. Your skin is unique — your treatment will be too.

Custom Facial Treatments

Arukah's signature facial experience goes beyond a standard treatment. Each session is thoroughly assessed and tailored to your skin's current condition — addressing concerns ranging from sensitivity and dehydration to acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation. You'll leave with visible results and a clear understanding of what your skin truly needs.

Stephanie's 25+ years of experience ensures your peel is the right depth, strength, and formula for your skin.

What you eat shows up on your skin. Stephanie's background in nutritional health means your treatment plan considers the full picture.
