Hi, I’m Arolyn.

If you’re here, you’re likely someone who values care that’s personal, where every detail is considered and nothing feels rushed. That’s the kind of service I’ve always believed in. And it’s the kind of space I’ve spent nearly four decades building.

I gave my first facial when I was a teenager, working in my mother’s aromatherapy shop in Manhattan Beach. I didn’t know then that those early days blending oils and listening to people talk about their stress and skin would become the foundation of my life’s work. But they did.

In my twenties, I opened my first solo studio in San Pedro. I was young, a little rebellious, and full of creative energy. I made everything by hand—candles, lamps, custom fragrances—and treated every client like they were the only one that mattered. Because to me, they were.

Starting a business without a blueprint wasn’t easy. I had to learn how to serve, how to grow, how to survive. But every challenge refined me. Every client taught me something. I never wanted a spa that felt like a conveyor belt—I wanted a place where people could slow down and feel seen.

Eventually, I returned to the South Bay to open what would become Body Suite Spa. Over the past 35+ years, I’ve grown it quietly, steadily, through word of mouth and results that speak for themselves. No billboards. No hype. Just one client at a time, one session at a time.

And over time, those sessions became something more. They became a sanctuary—for my clients and for me.

Women come here to lift more than their skin. We talk. We laugh. We grieve. We reflect. Sometimes we sit in silence. Sometimes we let it all out. This is not just a facial—it’s a reset. Inside and out.

Why Clients Stay

What makes this place different isn’t just the techniques—though I’ve spent years refining them. It’s the time. The attention. The truth that no two bodies, no two lives, are the same.

I don’t offer cookie-cutter services. I don’t rush. I listen. I assess what your skin needs in this season of life. And I meet you where you are—with presence, precision, and the kind of touch that only comes with time.

Even after 37 years, I’m still learning, still evolving. I continue studying advanced modalities like Microchanneling, cryo-lymphatic sculpting, and hormonal skin correction—because your skin evolves, too.

What You’ll Always Get Here

A solo practitioner who actually performs your treatment

A quiet space to relax, not a busy medspa

A moment to feel like yourself again, without judgment or pressure

I’m honored to serve the women of the South Bay and beyond. And if you’re reading this, I’d love to welcome you here too.

Come in when you’re ready.

I’ll be here, with warm towels, deep expertise, and the care you didn’t know you needed.
