Learn About Our Owner + Founder: Leah Corrin

Leah Corrin, the visionary owner and founder of Essence of L Medi Spa, is a multifaceted individual whose diverse passions and experiences have shaped her journey toward excellence in skincare and wellness. Raised amidst the serene landscapes of British Columbia, Leah’s childhood was adorned with unique experiences, from training llamas to mastering the art of horseback riding in dressage and hunter-jumper competitions. Her deep connection with animals and the outdoors instilled in her a profound appreciation for nature’s beauty and the importance of holistic well-being.

Beyond the stables and training grounds, Leah’s adventurous spirit led her to explore various athletic pursuits, including eight years as a dedicated gymnast. Today, her love for fitness endures as she finds solace and rejuvenation in outdoor workouts and invigorating runs amidst the crisp mountain air of our local trails. Whether she’s scaling the peaks of our majestic mountains or unwinding with a book on the shores of our pristine beaches, Leah embraces every opportunity to connect with nature and nourish her soul.

Leah’s zest for exploration extends far beyond the borders of British Columbia as she embarks on globe-trotting adventures with her husband, Matt. Together, they traverse the world, immersing themselves in diverse cultures and uncovering hidden gems across continents. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of travel, Leah’s heart remains rooted in her cherished memories of fly fishing on the tranquil lakes of British Columbia, casting lines in the pristine waters of the San Juan and Gulf Islands, and embarking on exhilarating deep-sea fishing expeditions in the Gulf of Mexico.

In Leah Corrin, one finds not only a dedicated entrepreneur and skincare expert but also a soul deeply connected to the rhythms of nature and the joys of exploration. Her passion for beauty, wellness, and adventure infuses every aspect of Essence of L Medi Spa, creating an oasis where clients can not only achieve radiant skin but also embark on their own journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation. As she continues to lead Essence of L with unwavering dedication and boundless enthusiasm, Leah remains a guiding light for those who seek to embrace life’s beauty in all its forms.

 

 

Essence of L began out of Leah’s desire for information and answers after over 15+ years of struggling through the pain of cystic acne. Throughout all the products, treatments, appointments, and dollars spent, Leah refused to believe that the ineffective ‘expert’ and ‘professional’ products and services she spent her money on were all out there. 

Leah focused on studying medical skin care in depth, accessing all relevant training in her field, and keeping herself informed with the latest industry research. She graduated as a Certified Medical Esthetician from the renowned Blanche Macdonald Centre with honours and continued her extended medical education and training in:

• Skin Tite™ II Sciton BBL
• BBL Photo Facials
• Forever Young BBL
• Forever Bare BBL Laser Hair Removal
• Thermo Coagulation from Dectro International

We Do the Research, So You Don’t Have To

Leah understands the emotional and physical toll severe acne can have on a person. The industry is full of miracle products and procedures that promise to cure all your skincare woes. Unfortunately, little regulation goes into the actual effectiveness of these products, and clients end up shelling out endless amounts of money only to suffer further disappointment. 

The same can be said for beauty and cosmetic enhancement procedures and products. Drug stores line their shelves with lotions and cleansers full of promises, but many of these products are also full of pore-clogging ingredients, cheap fillers and fragrances that can irritate and worsen your skin condition. You can spend a lot of money on procedures that claim to be effective, but when performed by someone with minimal knowledge or training in the equipment, you risk ending up with less than optimal results and can even harm your skin or make it worse.

We know there is a lot of misunderstanding in this industry and a lot of money wasted. That’s why our number one philosophy is client education. Every client leaves their consultation with a treatment plan customized to their unique needs and is well-informed on why their treatment plan will work for them. Our goal is to set our clients up for success, not failure. We desire that our new clients leave feeling comfortable, knowing their plans will be achievable and align with their lives.

Results You Can See and Feel

Essence of L prides itself on results you can see and feel. All our treatments and products are thoroughly tested to ensure the highest value and effectiveness are passed on to our clients. If we wouldn’t spend our money or time on them, we wouldn’t expect you to either. There is no better feeling than seeing our clients leave relaxed and refreshed and wearing that Essence of L glow. It gets even better when we see them return month after month on their treatment plan with skin that looks even more renewed than before and glowing confidence. 

Clinic Standards

With over 19 years of experience in the industry, Leah understands the importance of meeting and exceeding all required guidelines in health and ethics. Essence of L Medi Spa maintains the highest standards in cleanliness, ethics, and cutting edge products and services. We are fully registered and licensed with the City of White Rock and are highly rated by the Fraser Health Board for cleanliness and ethical business practices. Our spa undergoes regular equipment maintenance to ensure optimal performance and utilizes eco-friendly cleaning agents where permitted. Client education might be our number one philosophy, but we extend this same philosophy to ourselves. Leah regularly completes continuing education throughout the year to stay current on the latest news, science, and research in the field.

Our Clients

Our clients are the driving force behind everything we do at Essence of L Medi Spa. We aim first to educate our clients but remain amazed at how much we can learn from them. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to skincare, so we focus on getting to know our clients at their core.  We have our clients to thank for the many innovations and products we bring to our spa. If our clients have a need, we find a way to make it possible. This was when we launched our Essence of L Medical Skincare ™ line. Many of our clients found it challenging to find medical-grade products that could address their needs in-depth without the irritating fillers and fragrances that usually turn them away. Since these products weren’t readily available, we created them ourselves! We always seek to be at the forefront of practical research and technology in the industry and take great pride in knowing our clients can expect to receive the best from our award-winning lower Mainland medi spa. 

The Essence Of L Medi Spa Experience

Our clients can expect that their skincare needs and goals are met with every clinic visit. We know that many of our clients are busy working professionals who don’t have endless hours a day to set aside for a spa visit. This is why we do our best to ensure a tranquil, soothing environment that can deliver the desired results in the timeframe you require. Many of our treatments require little to no downtime, meaning you can be in and out of an appointment in 30 minutes to an hour. 

Our staff is always welcoming and ready to answer any questions. Whether you read about a new treatment in a magazine and want to get our perspective or are concerned about a change you’re noticing, we are here to listen to all of your concerns. 

We take great pride in ensuring every visit to Essence of L has our clients leaving refreshed, relaxed, and glowing from the inside out. We hope you enjoyed learning about us and can’t wait to see you at our spa!
