More Than Just Another Facial

A Different Standard of Care

I created Sculpt by Rind because I believe beautiful skin shouldn’t require extremes — no harsh interventions, no chasing trends, no compromising long-term skin health.

My journey led me deep into advanced Japanese facial massage training — a technique rooted in precision, rhythm, and structural lift. After experiencing how this method transformed my own skin, I knew San Diego deserved access to something more elevated.

Our signature approach blends high-touch massage techniques with modern skin therapies to lift, tone, and restore vitality — naturally.

I’ll let you in on something most people don’t realize:

Great skin isn’t built through extremes. It’s built through consistency and precision.

After years of watching women feel pushed toward aggressive treatments and complicated routines, I knew there had to be another way. Sculpt was created to offer advanced facial sculpting rooted in technique not trends.

Our approach blends rare Japanese-inspired facial massage methods with modern corrective skincare to support lift, tone, and long-term skin health.

Because effective doesn’t have to mean invasive.
And intentional always outperforms aggressive.

Hi, I’m Kim!

3x Founder & 3x Best of Winner + Face Slapping Enthusiast

I’m a high touch facialist, mother of 2, and I like my matcha latte iced with pistachio milk.

As a former salon owner, I spent most of my career behind the scenes taking care of business (… and working overtime). My passion lies in helping and healing others through education and touch. When I’m not chasing my kids around or reading about the latest and greatest in skincare, I spend my time as a CASA (court-appointed special advocate) advocating for youth in foster care.
