Specialties
Vena Cava is the holistic skincare and flower essence practice of Jessi Slavich, located in Portland Wellness Collective in NW Portland, Oregon. Jessi specializes in holistic facials to facilitate deep relaxation and healthy, luminous skin. She brings years of training and experience as a licensed massage therapist specializing in tmj dysfunction to create treatments that elevate a facial into a deeply therapeutic healing for fascia, muscles, lymph and the nervous system. Anatomy informed techniques reduce tension and stagnation in the neck, jaw, face and scalp. The result is smooth, healthy, youthful and radiant skin--beautiful glow from within. Jessi brings a trauma-informed, intuitive presence to the treatment room. She enjoys working with a spectrum of clients, and skin conditions. She believes that aging is a gift and approaches skincare with the belief that self-acceptance and self-love is far more beautiful than perfection. People of all sizes and abilities, as well as transgender, gender non-conforming and non-binary folks are welcome. Jessi also offers custom flower essence consultations, drawing from the work of Dr. Edward Bach, Patricia Kaminski, Richard Katz and others. Flower essences are subtle, vibrational remedies taken orally to address specific, profound issues of emotional well-being, soul development, and mind-body health.
