Athena Hewett is an American massage therapist, herbalist and experienced (over 20 years) and trained (CIDESCO) esthetician based in San Francisco (CA). Since 2011, she is the happy owner of the Monastery's studio, a skincare studio and spa located in 4175 24th Street, where she works together with estheticians Marija Gelo, Cheri Wong and Seda Poghosyan. From the beginning, her purpose is to help clients who are struggling with acne, as she unfortunately has to struggle with for many years, by using different methods of oil cleansing, water free moisturizing and alcohol and salt free skincare. Inspired by precious memories of her beloved greek grandmother who used to press oil of the family's grove and mix it with sage, chamomile and rosemary into tonics to purify and heal her skin every time she visited, Athena started to formulate her own natural, botanical and effective products, able to repair and heal the skin. Founded on the power of aromatherapy, handcrafted in small quantity in the spa and tested on her patients during a decade before being launched on the market, the Monastery's line was finally born. To Athena, beauty routine has to be simple and customized to be effective. Less is indeed more. All Monastery's ingredients are sustainably sourced worldwide near the best producers. No salts. No alcohol. No fillers needed. Their mission is to purify and heal instead of damaging as lots of skincare products, containing chemicals, do. Through its holistic approach and its Mediterranean touch, Monastery is a lovely tribute of a granddaughter to her γιαγιά.
