A Philosophy of Intelligent Restoration

At Elysian Rose, beauty and wellness are treated as interconnected. We integrate clinical aesthetics, advanced facial technology, and precise manual therapies to support skin health, lymphatic drainage, and nervous system regulation.

Our treatments support the body’s natural repair processes while addressing visible skin concerns, fluid retention, and tension patterns. The outcome is more youthful-looking skin, reduced swelling, and a body that feels more at ease.

Meet Destiny Preston

My career in beauty began in Los Angeles, where I trained and worked in world-class environments serving celebrity and high-profile clientele in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

Those formative years instilled an exceptional standard of precision, discretion, and results — principles that continue to define my work today. Over the past seventeen years, I’ve evolved that foundation into a practice that bridges advanced aesthetics with therapeutic bodywork.

At Elysian Rose, every treatment is guided by expertise in skin health, anatomy, and the body’s restorative systems. Unlike spas centered on relaxation or med spas focused on rushed treatments and superficial beauty, my approach moves beyond both. Our sessions merge clinical aesthetics with restorative wellness — creating experiences that are transformative, not transactional. My studio is more than a treatment room — it’s a space where renewal meets results.

LOVE FROM OUR CLIENTS

Highly Trained

“I’ve been to Elysian Rose twice now for lymphatic drainage with Destiny, and she is truly amazing!

First, she is actually trained in real lymphatic drainage. That matters. We called around to multiple places that advertise it, and when you ask questions, you quickly realize a lot of them are just doing sculpting or scraping and calling it lymphatic drainage. It’s not the same! If you specifically want true lymphatic drainage, this is the only place I would personally trust.

Destiny is highly trained and constantly investing in more education. I love that she takes her craft seriously and genuinely cares about doing things the right way.

I genuinely can’t say enough good things about her. If you care about quality, real training, and actual results (not marketing fluff), Destiny is it!!”
- KELLY (Carlsbad)
Lymphatic Drainage
Huge Difference

“Destiny’s attention to detail and thoughtful care to make the experience truly custom to your specific needs is unparalleled.
I first saw her for a manual lymphatic drainage massage, which was so incredible. I feel amazing during and after but most notably noticed a huge difference in how calm my nervous system felt.
I decided to come back to Destiny for a DiamondGlow Facial, which was equally as wonderful. I did not realize it included lymphatic facial components, my skin looked so hydrated and glowy after, and the first thing I noticed was how snatched my face was after, likely due to the lymphatic drainage.
I look forward to seeing Destiny again for both services and to try some of her others, and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable and incredibly dedicated to creating a magical experience for her clients.
- HILLARY (Encinitas)
DiamondGlow Facial & Lymphatic Drainage
Real Results

“I did a customized DiamondGlow facial with Destiny because I was dealing with postpartum melasma and dehydration that was causing forehead lines. The results were honestly shocking. My forehead wrinkles completely smoothed out, and my nasolabial folds looked tighter and softer immediately after. My skin looked hydrated, glowy, and healthy!

What really stood out to me though was her follow-up. After the facial, she sent me a very detailed, customized treatment plan based on the results I wanted. It wasn’t generic at all, it was thoughtful, specific, and clearly something she took time to put together. She even followed up by text to make sure I received it and to check in on how my skin was responding. That level of personal care is rare. You can tell she’s genuinely invested in her clients and their results. She also recommended medical-grade skincare. These products are formulated to deliver real results, and you can tell the difference.”
- KELLY (Carlsbad)
DiamondGlow Facial
Genuinely Special

“I had the most incredible experience with Destiny at Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness. I came in for a combined Reiki and Craniosacral Therapy (CST) session, and it was truly powerful. Destiny has such a grounding, intuitive presence — the healing work she did was exactly what my nervous system needed.

To top it off, she finished the session with an amazing custom facial. The nanoneedling and gua sha were so relaxing and left my skin glowing. I loved ending the healing treatment with a spa service — it made the entire experience feel complete, nurturing, and intentionally designed.

If you’re looking for Reiki in Encinitas, craniosacral therapy in North County San Diego, or a holistic facial with nanoneedling and gua sha, I can’t recommend Destiny enough. Her work is impactful, restorative, and genuinely special.”

Unique Approach

“I started working with Destiny because I found her approach to skincare and wellness unique from anyone I have gone to. I appreciate that she has a background in energy work, massage, craniosacral therapy and is passionate about holistic skincare. I go to her monthly for a lymphatic drainage massage and I always feel and look lighter after a session.
She recently recommended the Glo2Facial for my skin and I couldn’t believe how effective it was. The results were instant and it was by far the best facial I have received.
Destiny’s passion and knowledge for skincare shines and I always feel so cared for when receiving a service from her. She’s intentional about her practice and truly loves helping individuals feel and look better.”
– CHELSEA (Solana Beach)
Glo2Facial & Lymphatic Drainage
High-End Experience

“If you’re looking for a high-quality facial in Encinitas or just an overall amazing med spa experience, this is the place to go.
Every visit has been such a relaxing, high-end experience, and the results truly speak for themselves.
I’ve received several treatments here, including the Glo2Facial, ISUN Lymphatic Facial with a microcurrent add-on, Rose Alchemy Facial, and the DiamondGlow Facial—and I loved the results from all of them.

Each facial left my skin glowing, refreshed, and noticeably healthier. “

Best Facial

“Destiny came recommended by a friend. She gave me one of the best facials I've had in ages. I had the Glo2facial with RF.
The treatment itself was painless and left my skin glowing without any irritation. Her space feels warm, cozy, and thoughtfully put together which makes the whole experience feel extra relaxing. I appreciated her calm and grounding presence.
I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and completely renewed. Highly recommend her. Plenty of parking too! I look forward to trying the DiamondGlow next time!”
- LAURIE (Carlsbad)
Glo2Facial with Radio Frequency
Transcendant Experience

“I am 65 years old and had my first Glo2Facial with Destiny to treat myself for my birthday. My former aesthetician had retired and I hadn't had a facial for over a year. My skin was dry and showing more lines and wrinkles.
Destiny is a gifted aesthetician and continues her education in order to bring more healing arts to her work: lymphatic drainage, cranio-sacral therapy and more.
I have never had such a healing and restorative facial as my Glo2Facial with Destiny. Destiny's calm presence and uncanny ability to see what my skin and body needed was a transcendant experience.
We are so lucky she has decided to locate her practice in the heart of Encinitas!”
– THERESA (Encinitas)

Personalized Treatments

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Destiny at Elysian Rose, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and pampered. Her space is beautiful! The lighting is calming. Her consultation was thorough! Destiny's expertise truly shines through in every treatment she offers. I had the Glo2Facial with Radio Frequency, and it left my skin glowing like never before! This is my new favorite facial, and I can’t wait to go back! The combination of the facial and radio frequency worked wonders to rejuvenate my complexion.

To top it all off, Destiny performed the Vodder method of manual lymphatic drainage, it was my first time and it was incredibly relaxing and left me feeling lighter and more balanced. Destiny’s knowledge, warmth, and personalized approach make every visit feel special. I can't wait to return!”
– NIKKI (Solana Beach)
Glo2Facial with Radio Frequency
Med-Spa Results

“I recently had an appointment with the lovely Destiny at her new serene location.
Her facials are much more than a simple spa facial meaning her tools and protocols are high impact but she takes her time and it's peaceful like a more relaxing facial experience.
I had the Glo2Facial and it truly did make my skin glow. It's so powerful yet gentle and I highly recommend checking it out or any other modalities Destiny offers.”
– TORY (La Costa, Carlsbad)
Glo2Facial
Specialized Knowledge

“I just had the most amazing spa treatment. Not just a facial but a pampering extraordinaire.
I booked an advanced oxygen facial called the Glo2Facial. It's definitely something I saved up for to have a special treat to get me through a stressful time. I was so ready for exactly this kind of self care.

Destiny carries amazing high-performance clean beauty skincare products to keep your newly pampered skin in great shape. She used these products in the facial, which left my skin hydrated and glowing. It felt so marvelous.

Destiny has created a lovely environment at Elysian Rose Aesthetics and Wellness Studio. I highly recommend her specialized knowledge and experience if you're looking to get a facial in Encinitas.”
– Rosemary (Cardiff, Encinitas)
Glo2Facial
High Quality

“Destiny is amazing. I have been dealing [with] terrible maskne and congestion as well as bad experiences with my skin. Stepping into a signature facial with Destiny really gave me a good experience with my skin for the first time in a long time. She is very welcoming and all her products are clean beauty of high quality. After just 1 facial my skin looks miraculously better. She is very knowledgeable and is there to help you through your energy and skincare journey. Her massage was the best!!”
– Valerie
Classic Facial
Firmer Glowing Skin

“I had a 90 minute Glo2Facial with Destiny. It’s an advanced med spa treatment that has patented oxygen technology along with light ultrasound to boost collagen production and improve product absorption. She also did extractions, gua sha, and light facial cupping. The serums she used with the ultrasound helped brighten, plump, tighten my face.

The next day my face was still glowing and my skin was much firmer. My skin was also brighter and my creams and makeup went on much better. I would highly recommend.”
– HISAKO
Glo2Facial
Relaxing & Calming

“I received the most amazing facial from Destiny, the neck and shoulder massage was incredibly relaxing and the products smelled so amazing that it felt like aromatherapy. She is very intentional with her touch and equipment. I definitely want this unique experience again! My skin was glowing and I felt calm for the rest of the day.”
– Alexis

Very Professional

“Destiny has a magic touch! I have had many types of bodywork with tons of therapists and I think Destiny is extra special. Try the MLD [manual lymphatic drainage], you will not regret it! Also very professional.”
– Corrie (Del Mar, CA)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
5-Star Experience

“Destiny is incredibly skilled with deep tissue bodywork and able to relieve tightness that causes muscle soreness and nerve pain. She has a sixth sense and knows how to reach all the spots that need attention. Her commitment to learning new techniques to ensure a 5-star experience is impressive. When I get off her table I feel balanced and am ready to tackle life!”
– JULIE (Palm Springs, CA)
Manual Therapy
Grounding & Healing

“Excellent craniosacral therapy work! I feel like this is just what my whole body and mind needed. Not only am I feeling much more grounded, relaxed and calm, but before my session, I had elbow pain that persisted for 2 months and was causing me a lot of trouble. It’s one day after my session and my elbow is feeling much better, which is absolutely priceless!”
– AMY (Solana Beach, CA)
Craniosacral Therapy
Skilled Healer

“Destiny is a skilled healer. I made a craniosacral therapy appointment, specifically for mouth work. After her treatment I felt amazing. The session helped my jaw pain (TMJ), neck tightness, and it released tension in parts of my mouth that I didn't know I had - like the roof of my mouth. I'm no stranger to bodywork - even have some schooling in it - so I can confidently say that Destiny is well educated in craniosacral therapy mouth and jaw work.”
– Brian (Encinitas, CA)
Craniosacral Therapy
Significant Pain Relief

“I received two sessions of cranialsacral therapy from Destiny for TMJ. Both sessions were extremely relaxing and I experienced significant relief in my pain symptoms.
Destiny takes the time to explain what she is going to do and makes sure you are comfortable with all the techniques. She is very knowledgeable in anatomy and I am looking forward to more appointments with her for continued relief! I highly recommend Destiny.”
– BREE (Carlsbad, CA)
Craniosacral Therapy
Tightness Melted Away

“I went to Destiny for a deep tissue massage as I had neglected self care for a while, and my shoulders had become as stiff as bricks. She worked on the right side first, and as she massaged me I could feel my left side starting to relax as well. After about 15 minutes I was dozing off. As my muscles continued to soften she did cupping on the area and the tightness continued to melt away. She also targeted my head and and the back of my neck. I felt so much lighter after the treatment and had a great night of continued sleep. I felt refreshed the next day. I highly recommend her!!!”
– HISA (Encinitas, CA)
Manual Therapy
Magic Touch

“Working with Destiny was absolutely amazing! I had my first Lymphatic Drainage Massage with her and she did not disappoint. I would go back for another again and again! Totally recommend her to anyone looking to relax, receive high vibrational energy, & pamper yourself with Destiny’s magic touch.”
– PRISCILLA (Encinitas, CA)

– DANIELLA (Vista, CA)

She uses the highest quality oils and is considerate to scent sensitive people like me. In addition, her studio offers a peaceful environment to truly relax in. I look forward to more personalized healing sessions from Destiny.”

Feeling Like a New Person

“I got a one hour body massage by Destiny as a gift. I hadn’t had a massage in years and was blown away by her intuitive touch and knowledgeable body work. I left the massage feeling like a new person. I also feel like I released a lot emotionally. Highly recommend her for YOU or someone special you know. Next time I’m booking 2 hours. One is just not enough. Oh! She has a heated table pad too. I felt warm the entire time.”
– Emma

Unmatched Passion
