About Karen H. Hutchins, Aesthetician Specialist

Karen is a true California girl. She grew up in the Bay Area and moved to San Diego in 1992. She met her husband shortly after and the rest, as they say, is history. Her and Stephen have a son, Zenden, and an adorable dog, Loki. After attending San Diego State University, Karen worked as a computer programmer until completely switching gears in 1999. She went to school to become an esthetician and shortly after, studied massage at IPSB where she received her massage license. Her career as an esthetician and massage therapist started out in 2000 working in various spa environments and doing house calls. She also worked closely with an acupuncturist for six years and did chair massage at the Charger games. During that time she was able to build her own clientele and since 2008 was able to sustain her solo business on her own in her private studio in North Park. After thinking about it for several years, Karen started the process of expanding her business in 2016 and was able to open her doors in her new spa in Mission Hills in September 2018. Karen and her family love to play board games and go camping. They also attend Comic-Con every summer.
