I had the reoccurrence of a knee injury that was causing me to walk in an altered and awkward gait. This caused strain throughout my entire leg and low back. Marcia addressed a very complex set of spasms and nerve pain. By the end of the massage I was feeling substantially better. The next day I was nearly symptom-free. Thank you, Marcia....more

I recently got a facial with Marcia after my mom couldn’t say enough good things about her experience. Marcia took the time to understand my current routine, examine my skin type, and give me advice about what my skin would do well with without pressuring me in to buying products. Her space is so calming and clean, and I really appreciated that she didn’t force any extractions in places that weren’t ready. She also had so much knowledge about any questions I had regarding makeup ingredients and how I can implement a facial massage into my routine. She was able to understand that my skin is sensitive, so I trusted her. I will 100% be going back and have already told friends about her practice. Thank you Marcia!...more

I recently had a facial done with Marcia during a trip to LA and had an amazing experience! She takes the time to really get to know your skin, and even after only one session she recommended some changes to my routine that I have since followed and have really noticed a difference. The facial itself was also super soothing and relaxing. If I lived in the area, I would definitely continue to visit her clinic! Highly recommend!...more

Marcia is the most beautiful young woman inside and out. She is so knowledgeable about your face and your body. Walking into her spa puts you in such a state of calm that you can truly enjoy the experience while you are there. I have very dry skin and she selected my treatment in accordance with my skin and age. I walked out feeling 10 years younger. Marcia then picked out skin care products for me to help my face stay moisturized and healthy. She re-evaluates every 6 months for me. I love how my face feels and I love the care and attention that she gives me....more

Transcendence Spa is heaven on Earth. I booked the Dream Treatment and it lived up to its name in every way.

Marcia paid close attention to everything I shared on my pre-visit survey and made the whole experience feel personal from start to finish. The room was beautiful and calming, the scents were incredible, and she kept checking in to make sure the pressure, heat, and lighting were just right. She also walked me through every product she used, which I really appreciated.

Bonus: Marcia's skin is *perfect* and she shared some of her own routine plus gave me recommendations tailored to my specific skin concerns. I left relaxed, glowing, moisturized, and with a whole list of products I'm excited to try.

Highly recommend. I will absolutely be back!...more

From the moment you step into Transcendence Skin, you know you’re in for something truly special — and that all starts with Marcia, an aesthetician whose presence is as transformative as her work.

Marcia doesn’t just offer a treatment — she creates an experience. Her calming, grounded energy instantly puts you at ease, and time on her table feels like being gently transported somewhere far away from real life. Stress fades, your nervous system exhales, and you feel genuinely cared for in a way that’s hard to put into words.

Everything she does is intentional and personalized. Her knowledge is deep, her touch is intuitive, and she has an incredible way of making you feel both relaxed and confident that your skin is in expert hands. You leave feeling restored — inside and out.

And let’s talk about the glow ✨ — it almost feels like a bonus. People keep asking what I’ve changed in my routine, but honestly, it’s her (and the SPF she has me wearing every day — I’m keeping my word, Marcia!). My skin has never looked or felt better.

If you’re looking for more than just skincare — if you want to feel nurtured, reset, and radiant — Transcendence Skin with Marcia is truly something special. I can’t recommend her highly enough....more

I had the most incredible experience at Transcendence Skin. I booked a treatment with them, and I walked out literally glowing. The space feels calming the moment you walk in, and the care and attention to detail throughout the service were exceptional.

My skin looked refreshed, lifted, and noticeably brighter right away — the kind of results you can actually see, not just hope for. If you’re looking for a place that blends expertise with a truly relaxing experience, Transcendence Skin is a gem. I can’t wait to go back....more

Anastasia Romashko

January 25, 2026

I can’t say enough great things about Transcendence Skin and Marcia. From the very first facial, she took the time to truly understand my skin and created a customized regimen that has genuinely changed my skin for the better. I’ve seen noticeable improvements, and for the first time in a long time, my skin feels healthy, balanced, and well cared for.

Marcia is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so caring and thoughtful in her approach. What really sets her apart is how supportive she’s been with my 9-year-old daughter, who is a competitive dancer and wears a lot of stage makeup. Marcia has been amazing at guiding us on how to properly care for young skin, helping prevent breakouts while still being age-appropriate and realistic for a busy dance schedule.

She truly goes above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and their long-term skin health. If you’re looking for someone you can trust—whether for yourself or your child—Marcia at Transcendence Skin is absolutely the best. Highly recommend!...more

What an amazing experience, my skin felt so soft and glowy after my session!

Karina Rubira

January 25, 2026

Game changer for my skin! I started working with Marcia a few years ago. At the time, I never had regular facials and was suffering from hormonal acne. Marcia is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to skin care and improved my skin by also helping me with an easy at home skin care routine. She is very thorough and detail oriented and knows exactly what to do if my skin ever becomes a bit problematic (travel, stress, etc.). If you’re looking for personalized skin care, I highly recommend Marcia!...more

Brianna Briggs

January 25, 2026

I have been seeing Marcia for a couple years and she is simply amazing! I love her detail oriented and personal approach. No facial is ever the same, she custom orients and focuses every session on what the skin needs at the time. I always leave her clinic glowing and keep seeing results weeks after my visit. I also love her recommendations for products and routines to do at home. Wonderful all around!...more

Esther Kannenberg

January 19, 2026

Marcia is truly one of a kind. She is the only person I trust with my skin, especially as someone who struggles with acne. When you’re acne-prone, you become extremely self-conscious about who you see and what treatments you allow and I trust Marcia beyond belief.
I’ve left many dermatologists and facialists feeling defeated, discouraged, and insecure. But when I leave Marcia, I feel the complete opposite uplifted, confident, and genuinely comfortable in my own skin.
Marcia treats my skin with so much care, intention, and expertise, and she always makes me feel supported rather than judged. I walk out feeling empowered, educated, and hopeful every single time. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your skin and your confidence, Marcia is unmatched.💖...more

I’ve been seeing Marcia for massage therapy for several years now and I am so grateful to have met her. Her kind and caring presence comes through in her healing touch. As someone who works long hours and is also very dedicated to my gym training regiment, i struggle with chronic muscle spasms and back pain. Marcia’s anatomical expertise and intuitive care has helped me tremendously in every treatment, as well as my loved one I referred to her too. She is truly the best and I am so thankful!...more

What can I say, Marcia is an expert at her craft. With years of experience, it truly shows in her work.

I’ve had a couple facials by her now and the amount of care and detail she puts into each service is truly amazing. I always leave relaxed and glowing. She offers a luxury experience that is fit for a queen. I look forward to trying more of her services in the near future. 😊...more

Rochelle Masella

January 11, 2026

I had such a wonderful experience and can’t recommend Marcia enough. She explained everything in a way that was very easy to understand and she took the time to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire appointment. She was incredibly thorough in assessing my skin and asked detailed questions about my skin history so not to do anything that would irritate my skin, which made me feel confident that she truly cared.

The space itself was very clean, welcoming, and calming, and her demeanor matched that perfectly. She was kind, gentle, and reassuring. After the procedures, my face looked absolutely glowing and youthful. I left feeling relaxed, informed, and so happy with the results. I’m really glad I found her!...more

100 stars !!
I just wanted to take a moment to share an absolutely wonderful experience I had recently at Transcendence Skin, a place I now recommend highly enough.

On December 6th, I had my first appointment with Marcia, and it was quite an enlightening experience. As someone who rarely wears makeup, maintaining good skincare is extremely vital to me. Yet, despite this importance, it had been several years since my last facial, so I was honestly quite excited but also anxious to meet with a professional who could guide me back into a proper skincare routine.

Marcia turned out to be not only immensely professional in her demeanor but also incredibly knowledgeable about the nuances of skincare. Her understanding of the field is deeply comprehensive, and she took the time to explain the ins and outs of skincare with impressive clarity. What stood out most was her holistic approach—it's rare to find someone who integrates such a well-rounded perspective into their practice, and I must say it was quite refreshing and insightful.

At the end of my session, Marcia asked me a simple but profound question about how serious I wanted to be in taking the next step towards a better skincare routine. I found myself momentarily pausing, realizing the importance of committing to self-care and overall wellness. From that moment, I knew I had found everything I needed at Transcendence Skin. This new routine is something I've been neglecting, and I am grateful to have had this rejuvenating experience.

Even the drive from Manhattan Beach was well worth it, and I would gladly make the trip again. Therefore, I would sincerely like to introduce you to Marcia at Transcendence Skin. She is such a valuable resource, and I encourage you to follow her on Instagram for more insights and details. Please do take a moment to read her bio—you won't be disappointed, as she is more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

Marcia is truly an expert skincare magician, top of her field! Her passion and depth of knowledge is clear in her technique and guidance. I’ve been seeing her regularly for the past couple of years, she has really improved my skincare regimen and it shows. She was able to help me post-operative with lymphatic drainage, which sped up my healing time and left me feeling whole again after each session. Her massage technique alone is unmatched. I used to drive to Santa Barbara to see my esthetician there every other month but now I get to see Marcia every month, and my skin has never looked better. She offers the best products, some of which I’ve never heard of before Marcia introduced me to, and now I simply can’t live without them. Everyone I’ve introduced to Marcia has had the same experience; she’s even made my husband a sunscreen convert!
Thank you Marcia for your passion and support!...more

Where do I begin? If you are looking for a rejuvenating & revitalizing skin care experience, I HIGHLY recommend booking with Marcia.

Not only does she take the time to personally learn about each and every one of her clients skin care needs, her results do in fact deliver.

I have never had my skin look & feel as alive & healthy as it does since I started booking with Transcendence Spa.

She not only uses the absolute best products, but makes it a point to share her knowledge about them & how they will positively affect your skin. I have never been more confident & excited about my skin care until I met Marcia.

Her beautiful energy is contagious and uplifting. Absolutely something I want from someone who is working on my skin!

100% do yourself and skin a favor, & book with her. I can honestly promise that you won’t regret it, or find the quality and passion you & your skin needs ANYWHERE else!!!!!...more

Marcia is a wonderful masseuse. She is mobile and is always able to create an amazing soothing environment at my own house. Her prenatal massages are very relaxing.

I have been seeing both Marcia and Juan for a couple months now and I hope to make them part of my permanent health program. Their different styles make for the perfect combination toward my wellness. I like to alternate with Juan for physical therapy, strength building, flexibility and general torture chamber body work with Marcia in between for comforting massage, aromatherapy and spiritual nourishment. Marcia has built an incredible business and I am excited to see the growth of Transcendence Spa. The only downside - it's so good I wish i could use them every day instead of once a week !!...more

I recently had a massage therapy session with Marcia and it was an incredibly relaxing experience. Marcia has a great knowledge of the human anatomy and used this to provide a massage tailored to my specific needs.

Grace Lee

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a luxurious facial with extraction and hydration with the TranscendenteSpa, and I have to say, it was truly a heavenly experience. From the moment Marcia (founder) walked in, the atmosphere was serene, calming and attentive.
The facial began with a thorough consultation to assess my skin type and concerns. The extraction process was done with gentle yet effective techniques. Marcia used specialized tools to remove blackheads, whiteheads and other impurities from my pores, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and clean. The process was painless and I could see the immediate results of a clearer and brighter skin. The facial also included a relaxing and rejuvenating massage, which helped to improve blood circulation and promote lymphatic drainage, leaving me feeling relaxed and refreshed.
The final step of the facial was a deep cleansing, toning, and moisturizing mask that helped to hydrate my skin and lock in the benefits with an amazing quartz stone mask. Overall, I have to say that this was truly one of the most luxurious and rejuvenating facials I have ever had....more
