About Founder

Janie Escamilla is the founder and director of Moonstone Skin and Body Care and a graduate of San Jose State University. She has over 10 years of experience as a marketing and public relations executive representing well-known technology and consumer companies. In search of work/life balance, she found solace in her local esthetician seeking a place to rejuvenate her tired skin and relaxation. During the process, she found that the treatments effectively cleared up her adult acne and provided a safe haven where she could recharge her mind, body and spirit.

Janie Escamilla as a child
After much reflection and reminiscing about her introduction to the field of esthetics as a child by her beloved Grandmother, Janie sought out on a new path and a new profession that would integrate wellness into her daily routine. At the end of this phase of her journey, Janie received her esthetics license from the Cinta Aveda Institute as well as additional training under Sandra Morrow, MD at Union Street Medspa in San Francisco. However, her story doesn't end there.


Acting from her highest truth and paying homage to her Grandmother, Janie founded Moonstone Skin and Body Care in Novato where her daily focus is on providing the best skin care solutions and body treatments for her clients as well as seeking out natural and organic ingredients to include in all facials and treatments she provides.

When she’s not providing skin care treatments to her clients, Janie can be found hiking with her husband, Barry and their three dogs, Kingston, Henry and Tana.
