Welcome to Twelve Months of Wellness Spa.

My name is Sarah Wen, and I am the founder of Twelve Months of Wellness Spa in Burlingame, California. I believe that true beauty begins with wellness, and that when we take care of our bodies, skin, and minds, we become the best version of ourselves.

My journey into the beauty and wellness industry began many years ago in China. Before moving to the United States in 2014, I worked as a clothing designer and owned my own spa. Fashion design taught me to appreciate elegance, creativity, and attention to detail. Running my own spa showed me something even more meaningful—the joy of helping people relax, heal, and feel confident in themselves.

From the very beginning, I loved seeing the transformation that happened when a client looked in the mirror after a treatment. It wasn’t only about healthier skin or relaxed muscles. It was the smile on their face, the confidence they regained, and the peace they carried with them when they left. Those moments inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others look good, feel good, and live healthier lives.

In 2014, I made the life-changing decision to move to the United States. Like many immigrants, I started a new chapter filled with challenges, opportunities, and personal growth. I was inspired by the diversity, the welcoming spirit, and the freedom to pursue my dreams and build a future through hard work.

After arriving in California, I studied Child Development at a college in San Francisco. That experience strengthened my understanding of patience, compassion, communication, and caring for others—qualities that continue to influence the way I serve every client today.

Although I valued that education, I knew my true passion had always been wellness and skincare. I decided to continue my professional journey by studying Massage Therapy at the San Francisco School of Massage, where I completed a comprehensive 600-hour training program. Later, I attended Skyline College and completed a 1,000-hour Esthetics program, receiving advanced education in skincare, facial treatments, skin analysis, and professional esthetic techniques.

Today, I bring together over a decade of professional experience in massage therapy and skincare. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping people relieve stress, reduce chronic muscle tension, improve their skin, and create healthy self-care routines. I believe every client deserves individualized care, which is why I never believe in a “one-size-fits-all” treatment. Every facial, massage, and scalp therapy session is carefully customized based on each person’s unique needs and goals.

My philosophy is simple: wellness is not a luxury—it is an investment in your health and happiness. In today’s busy world, many people spend so much time caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I want my spa to be a peaceful sanctuary where you can slow down, breathe deeply, relax your body, refresh your skin, and restore your energy.

This philosophy inspired the name Twelve Months of Wellness Spa.

I chose this name because I believe wellness should never be seasonal—it should be part of everyday life, throughout all twelve months of the year. Every season brings different weather, different stresses, and different needs for our bodies and skin. Whether it is dry winter skin, summer sun exposure, muscle tension from work, or simply the need to recharge emotionally, taking care of yourself is important every month of the year.

My goal is to build lasting relationships with my clients by supporting their wellness journey throughout every season. I want every visit to feel welcoming, relaxing, and personalized, so that you leave feeling healthier, more confident, and deeply cared for.

At Twelve Months of Wellness Spa, I specialize in customized facials, HydroFacial treatments, therapeutic massage, scalp wellness treatments, and anti-aging skincare. I continue to learn new techniques and stay current with the latest developments in the beauty and wellness industry because I believe my clients deserve the highest level of professional care.

More than anything, I want every person who walks through my door to feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for. Whether this is your first facial, your first massage, or part of your ongoing wellness routine, it is my privilege to be part of your journey.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my story. I look forward to welcoming you to Twelve Months of Wellness Spa and helping you discover healthier skin, a relaxed body, and a renewed sense of well-being—every month of the year.
