Linda-Anne came to the United States with her husband and family in 1980 and recognized the need for excellent skin and body care. With a vision and a dream she opened a small 400 square foot salon with $2000. She has remained totally committed to the Day Spa Industry and was one of the country’s first day spas.
She has been a pioneer in the field and began doing aromatherapy treatments, manual lymph drainage and hydrotherapy when these modalities were virtually unknown in the United States. Linda-Anne has had a long-standing philosophy of a holistic approach and has been committed to health and well-being of the body, mind and spirit. The spa has expanded 5 times over the years to become the 11,000 square foot Day Spa & Wellness Center it is today.
Recognizing the need for people to be educated about wellness, Linda-Anne continued to set trends in the field and expanded in 1999 to become a Wellness Center. Clients and patients can be treated by several holistic practitioners, individually or as part of several dynamic wellness programs. A team of esthetic laser nurses provide medical laser treatments.
Beauty Kliniek was voted Best Day Spa in San Diego and Best Massage in San Diego in 2003. Linda-Anne was featured as business person of the year by a Channel 8 television station several years ago.
Linda-Anne has always set very high standards and personally hired all employees, selecting them for their dedication to their work as well as their skills. Her passion for aromatherapy led her to introduce aromatherapy into almost all the treatments at the spa. The spa features an aromatherapy blending bar and specializes in the clinical application and custom blending of essential oils.
