I'm Carolyn Childress, and I'm the owner of The Dream Spa. I was a legal secretary for about 20 years, when I had the dream of becoming an aesthetician. I went back to school and got my license in April of 2004. I opened The Dream Spa in May of 2004 and have never been happier--realizing the Great American Dream as well as my own, of helping people feel and look relaxed and beautiful.
I suffered with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, depression and Fibromyalgia for many years and feel very strongly about encouraging women and men to TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES...because no one else will! Our bodies are miraculously made and have incredible messenger systems that need to be heeded! I destroyed my immune system by not listening to those messengers of pain, tiredness and anxiety, and it took many years of alternative therapies to restore it. Therefore, my mission is to constantly encourage people to slow down, relax, laugh and drink more water!
Our bodies heal only when at rest, they also heal with touch. These two modalities, when combined with excellent, natural skin care products produce a winning combination. That's why I invite you to take time out from your busy life and come relax at The Dream Spa, where you will address your skin care concerns, soothe your soul and hopefully do a little dreaming...
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Carolyn

TESTIMONIALS
After only three of a series of six LED treatments, my skin looks younger and much brighter! What really surprises me is the sense of well-being and calmness I leave with each time. I think of it as collagen for the soul!

Wonderful stuff! The smells are great, and Carolyn has magic fingers!
--Marsha, Acupuncturist
As I started losing weight, I had one big concern--that my face would "deep wrinkle" with the weight loss. Dermalogica products prevented it from occurring and replenished my skin with a healthy, practically "lineless" appearance. I enhanced my facials with the LED therapy, and it has made a significant difference in my skin tone and texture.

My whole life I never had acne or even one pimple on my face--I never knew how truly blessed I was, until I had my daughter and my hormones changed and gave me a face full of ugly acne. I'm a real testimony of Dermalogica, and I will tell you why. I've used Mary Kay, Proactiv, Arbonne and several over-the-counter acne washes and I was still broken out as the day I started using them. I started walking with my head down and avoided eye contact. But after using Dermalogica products I feel like my life is back and the acne started fading away before my eyes. Before the traumatic experience of having pimples, I was pursuing a modeling/singing career and now I feel like I can go back to pursuing my dream, and I am no longer a prisoner of my skin. (Go to Myspace.com/clcsangel to see my result of my freedom from acne. Not only do I thank Dermalogica, but I thank Carolyn and The Dream Spa for her patience with my acne and her friendly service, knowledge and intelligence of skin care. Thank you from a true survivor from acne.

I just had a Dreamy Escape Facial and my skin felt and looked so great afterwards that a co-worker asked me if I was pregnant--I was positively GLOWING!

Wonderful relaxation. --Arch, M., Attorney
I first encountered Dermalogica products while having a facial on vacation. I have sensitive skin and always worry about the affect new products might have on me. Carolyn assured me she'd use products designed for sensitive skin. She was right, and my only reaction to the products was incredibly positive. I've started using Dermalogica at home now, and I've been so impressed with everything I've tried. I love Daily Microfoliant, and have seen better results with it than any other exfoliating product I've ever tried. My absolute favorite is Soothing Protection Spray though. It is both moisturizing and calming, and my skin loves it. In the past, I was never really sure if new products were making a difference. Dermalogica is the first that has made a difference I know I can see and feel.
