Meet Brit
Hi, I’m Brit Lowe — a Medical Herbalist and holistic skin practitioner based in Ladysmith, BC.
I support women navigating acne, rosacea, eczema, sensitivity, and skin that feels like it is changing or becoming harder to understand.
My work blends herbal medicine, internal support, and holistic facial treatments to help create calmer, more resilient skin over time.
Why I Do This Work
Most people don’t come to me because they need more skincare products.
They come because their skin is communicating something they don’t fully understand.
Breakouts that won’t settle.
Flare-ups that feel unpredictable.
Skin that suddenly reacts differently than it used to.
Or skin that is changing with stress, hormones, or age.
And what they’re really looking for is clarity — not more confusion.
My Approach
I take a whole-skin approach that looks beyond surface symptoms.
Together, we explore how internal patterns such as digestion, inflammation, hormones, stress, and lifestyle may be influencing what is showing up in the skin.
From there, we build a clear, supportive plan using herbal medicine, nutritional guidance, and targeted topical care when appropriate.
I also offer holistic facial treatments that support skin barrier health, circulation, and lymphatic flow, using plant-based skincare and myofascial techniques that help release facial tension, encourage natural collagen support, and promote healthier, more resilient skin over time.
What I Support
I work with women experiencing:
• acne and persistent breakouts
• rosacea and redness
• eczema and sensitivity
• reactive or inflamed skin
• skin barrier dysfunction
• hormonal, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal skin changes
• concerns around hydration, texture, and visible aging
My focus is not on perfection — it is on supporting skin function, resilience, and clarity.
My Background
Before stepping fully into herbal medicine, I worked for several years in social services supporting women impacted by trauma.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services from Vancouver Island University and graduated with distinction from the Western Herbal Medicine program at Pacific Rim College in 2021.
This background deeply informs my approach today — especially my focus on care that is trauma-informed, grounded, and client-centered.
My Philosophy
I believe skin health is not separate from the rest of the body.
It reflects internal patterns, external stressors, and how supported the body feels overall.
My role is not to overwhelm you with complexity, but to help simplify what your skin is asking for so you can respond with clarity and confidence.
I also hold a pro-aging approach to skin — one that supports the natural changes that happen over time, while focusing on strength, nourishment, and vitality.
Outside the Clinic
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me outside — hiking, foraging, or spending time along the West Coast of BC.
Work With Me
If your skin feels reactive, inconsistent, or difficult to understand, I offer both herbal skin consultations and holistic facial treatments to support you.
You can start with a consultation or explore services through my booking page.
Testimonials
“That facial was the self care I needed on this trip, thank you!” - Lena H.
“The whole experience was more than I ever expected. The knowledge Brit shared was so heartwarming, and the tea she blended for me was perfect. When she mentioned choosing basil to support me through change, I was blown away — I’m going through extraordinary change right now, and it felt so meaningful.
Every detail was so thoughtfully considered — from the tea to the calming rock, and all the little touches in between. The products were gentle, nourishing, and beautifully scented with essential oils, which is important to me as I don’t do well with synthetic fragrance. Everything felt smooth, hydrating, and left my skin completely calm.
And the neck, arm, and hand massage? I never imagined that kind of care would be part of a facial. It was truly a wonderful experience. Thank you." — Tammy M.
“I adore Brit! Her vast herbal and skincare knowledge, attention to detail and prioritized client care are what make her stand out to me. She has curated a beautiful and peaceful space in order to provide the highest level of care and comfort to her clients and I couldn’t recommend her enough. I love that she uses locally made natural products that are of the highest quality as well. I felt so pampered and left my facial feeling such peace and my skin has never looked better. She even gave me personalized recommendations for my unique skin type to use going forward. Thank you Brit :)” - Michelle G.
“Absolutely amazing!” - Jordi R. (Customized Facial)
“That was, by far, the best facial I've ever had. Your knowledge and care are so obvious. I really appreciate that you have so much expertise in herbs and plants, and that you are a Herbalist who is expressing her knowledge and passion through caring for the skin. I loved learning about some of the plants that are helpful for my skin, and I am excited to learn more.
Your arm, hand, shoulder and neck massages are AMAZING!!! You obviously know so much about the body and how it works, and my experience is that you are purposeful and intentional with your massage. I have to say, though..... the face massage, Brit! What a revelation! It was so lovely, and my face and skin are very grateful for the experience.” - Michelle F.
“Honestly, it was just perfect!” - Jane C.
“First off. That was lovely! Thank you so much. Also- I was not expecting it to be as fulsome and comprehensive and I was thoroughly impressed (and the suggestions and support for the holistic view of looking at skin is AMAZING). I texted two separate friends to let them know about this amazing service and that they needed to go. I loved the tea, and getting to sit and go over everything with you at the start, it made me feel like you were actually interested in MY skin not everyone's generalized skin.
The room was lovely and the massages were all lovely. Nothing that I was looking for wasn't included, you delivered…I'm so so so happy with all of my recommendations and the plan you sent out and will definitely be coming back. Thanks again.” - Mandy W.
“Thanks so much for the amazing facial, consult, and personalized information. So fab and such a great offering! You’re the perfect person to do it—so thoughtful and skilled and caring and lovely. Thank you! I really enjoyed the whole experience.” - Alina Cerminara, Publisher, FOLKLIFE Magazine
“Brit provided the most exceptional service. Her professionalism and care proved this was more than your average facial. I learned about how my day-to-day habits may affect my skin, as well as other parts of my body. The facial itself was the best I’ve ever experienced and I got so relaxed that I was in a full state of meditation. My skin was glowing for weeks after. I will return again soon, and I’ve recommended this service to all of my friends. Do yourself a favour and book in, you won’t regret it!” - Sam S.
“Today’s appointment was great! I loved it. I liked the exfoliant and the fruit serum. So good! Hot towels were wonderful too. How often does one usually get facials?” - Caroline A.
"Thank you for having me today. Honestly, I loved everything about my experience. The tea right off the bat made it feel so personalized. The products were all mildly scented, which is a big win for me—strong scents can sometimes be overwhelming.
I really appreciated the knowledge you shared with confidence, but also that you didn’t overload me with too much information or make it confusing. The follow-up email was such a great touch—my mind is too busy to remember everything!
It was such a cool experience to have a 'beauty' service that, in the end, was really about overall health. My favourite part was how personalized it felt." - Kari A.
“The facial was perfect. I’ve never been one to take my skin care routine seriously or put a lot of thought into it, my skin was okay never great and that sufficed me. Also I find it intimidating, some friends spend so much money on fancy treatments and products it seemed so daunting. The experience I had coming for a facial with you really broke down some of the fears and insecurities I had about being able to not only understand but maintain a routine. You broke it all down to a simple approachable routine, with affordable products. I love that you offer multiple price point products for some budget months vs when you want to splurge. Also the basics like drinking more water and sunscreen, explaining the significance and importance of these very simple achievable steps. You really made me feel seen and understood what I needed to feel better about my skin. Sometimes at those kind of appointments I feel a bit vulnerable and insecure, you eased that and made me feel comfortable!
The flow of the appointment/ the space/ product explanation/ and all your personal details were above and beyond any salon spa experience I have ever had! Your massages were amazing! I cannnnnnot stop telling everyone and anyone who will listen about my experience!” - Jacquie C.
“What a wonderful, soothing and rejuvenating experience you provide! I really enjoyed the tea during our introductory session and found your treatment room cozy and comfortable. I liked the music and the calming tone of your voice as you explained every step of the process and the products you were using, which were tailored to meet my needs! The facial massage was amazing (that “ghost” pressure that lingered…. aaah) , but I did not expect the arms, hands and shoulder massage! Bonus! Now, I just need to work on a weekly exfoliation regimen and book my next appointment! I told several people about your treatment and they are interested.” - Annie G.
“I loved the personalized touch of you having the consultation before and tailoring the tea for me! It was unexpected and I loved it! Also you have a gift and such a warm presence, you’re the best listener and it’s evident you really care that each person has a unique experience customized to their individual skincare needs and preferences. I loved the massage too! Never get rid of that part!” - Heather R.
"The whole experience was amazing—the personalized tea when I arrived, the individualized treatment plan that was explained, and the massage and facial that were very relaxing and nourishing. From start to finish, I felt pampered.
The customization felt special, not like a standard 'one-size-fits-all' treatment. It really felt like a facial made just for me! I also appreciated that the advice was practical and achievable, like drinking more water as a start. The follow-up after was a really nice touch too." - Katherine
“I loved the welcome with an intentional tea and the explanation of why you picked it—it was above and beyond what I remember from previous facials. I also love how you're finding these local companies! You meet the person where they’re at, which I really appreciate. Sometimes I go places and they recommend all these things, and it’s a lot to change at once—but your swaps and insights were more sustainable and helped me get on a better routine for future add-ons. The room and space were so inviting and peaceful, and the products were amazing too. Britt, it was amazing! Thank you again, and I can’t wait for my next!!”

“First, thank you for the most wonderful facial, it was such a beautiful moment of rest and embodiment and luxury in the midst of a crazy season. Second, thank you for the time, care, and holistic approach - your work is so, so important and I feel honoured to be able to learn from you!” - Jonelle A.
“So… no one has ever told me much about my skin, most of the time they just tell me what to buy. I loved that you actually looked at my skin and were honest on what I need to do without pushing product. I LOVED the mask, that smelled so good. It would be good if you had the product available to sell. The eye massage was great, like really great. I was very happy and my skin feels great.” - Rachel K.
“Thank you so much for the amazing facial. It was so relaxing! I loved the personalized tea at the beginning - such a nice touch! The products you use not only felt amazing but smelt amazing! You didn't miss a thing in my opinion. I feel like I've left with a lot more knowledge then I had before and love the info sheet you sent with suggestions. I honestly don't know what could be improved as everything was top notch in my opinion. I will be coming back again for sure and you can count me in for a hydrating facial a week before my wedding! Thanks again Brit! You truly have a gift and I am so happy to have experienced it! - Kiley Y.
“I loved my experience today. Your space was very relaxing and welcoming. I felt safe and taken care of and learned some things about my skin and the reminder of the importance to take care of myself.” - Brenda R.
