Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness in Encinitas: Rooted in Heritage

When deciding on a name for my aesthetics and wellness studio, it wasn’t just about picking a name that reflected my professional expertise and values. It was about weaving together the threads of my history that led me here: owning my own aesthetics and wellness spa. 

I desired to create a space where my clients receive expert care and visible improvement the second they walk in the door. This is the story of how Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness was created.

 
 

My family’s history in Elysian Heights, Los Angeles, spans generations. My family ties to this neighborhood go back to the 1940s and my connection to this area runs deep.

I grew up adjacent to Elysian Park, attended Elysian Heights Elementary School, and walked the same halls and learned in classrooms that my mother and her sisters did before me.

 

Although I now call Encinitas home and serve the Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, and Del Mar areas, Los Angeles has always been a part of me. Following the devastating Los Angeles fires, I realized just how deeply connected I am to this city.

I watched anxiously, hoping Elysian Park, a place filled with my childhood memories, would be spared. And while I now embrace a more low-key, coastal lifestyle in Encinitas, my heart is still tied to Elysian Park.

 
Choosing Elysian as part of my business name was a way to honor where I came from and the city that led me here to Encinitas.

Elysian also ties into the feeling I want my clients to feel when they walk into my wellness spa in Encinitas because Elysian refers to a blissful heavenly state. Elysian comes from Elysium (or the Elysian Fields) in ancient Greek mythology — a paradise-like “heaven” reserved for the heroic and favored, often described as a place of lasting peace and beauty.

That meaning resonated with me because it reflects my intention for the studio: an elevated, restorative environment guided by clinical expertise, precision, and a deliberate, results-oriented approach.

 
 
 
Rose is a name that holds immense significance in my life. The Rose part of Elysian Rose came from my grandmother, the guiding force in my life. She is a woman of strength, love, and resilience.
— Destiny Preston

Originally from Puerto Rico, she worked hard to build a better life for my mother and her sisters, passing down her wisdom, determination, and fiery spirit.

Everything I’ve achieved, my education, my career, and the creation of this business, has her support at the center. She is the embodiment of everything I want Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness to represent: beauty, strength, and heart guided by service.

As she nears the end of her life, I wanted to create something that would honor her legacy and the generations of women who came before me.

 
 

While my path in the beauty industry has shaped my expertise, my passion goes far beyond traditional aesthetics.

I have dedicated many years of my life to advanced training in wellness, integrating a clinically informed approach into all of my services.

Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness reflects how aesthetic precision meets skilled therapeutic work, offering facials, bodywork, craniosacral therapy, and manual lymphatic drainage within a results-focused practice.

This space is not just about beauty — it is about expert-led treatment, visible results, and supporting overall well-being through thoughtful, evidence-based care.

 
 

I invite you to experience Elysian Rose Aesthetics & Wellness — a space where you can step away from the outside world and focus on your skin and wellness goals with confidence.
