During her childhood, Gunilla's experiences in Africa and Spain left an indelible mark on her perspective, which she carried with her before settling in San Francisco. In 2005, she opened her flagship establishment, "Skin Butik," where her luxurious and effective facials quickly became a sought-after indulgence for women in the Bay Area.

“Plant oils are mysterious and sensual to me. I first learned about them as a teenager growing up in Southern Spain. The essences of jasmine and sweet almond oil were exotic and mesmerizing to me. 

I began to learn more about the healing aspects of aromatic oils and so my deep passion of plant alchemy was born.”
