24+ years of dedicated holistic wellness care in Boise, Idaho.

Our Story

Founded in 2002, Massage & Skin Care Solutions was born from a shared belief that true wellness goes far beyond treating symptoms. Eric Brown and Frances Vincen-Brown bring complementary expertise — therapeutic massage and holistic skincare — together under one roof, creating a practice built on the principle that the body, mind, and spirit are deeply interconnected.

Over 24 years and many happy client reviews later, their approach remains the same: treat the whole person. Every session is personalized, every treatment plan is designed with longevity in mind, and every client is treated as an individual with unique needs and goals.

Their integrated practice combines hands-on bodywork, advanced skincare technologies, energy healing through Karuna Reiki, and botanical wisdom — a truly holistic approach to wellness that you won't find anywhere else in the Treasure Valley.

New Clients

Your First Visit

We want your first experience with us to feel calm, clear, and welcoming. Here is what to expect when you book with Massage & Skin Care Solutions.

1

Create Your Client Account

Create your portal account so your contact details and intake forms are ready. During the scheduling transition, Eric and Frances are placing appointments directly from the admin portal.

2

Complete Your Health Intake

Once your appointment is scheduled by the office, complete the matching intake forms in your account before your visit. This helps your practitioner understand your history, concerns, and wellness goals so your session can be fully customized.

3

Arrive Early

Plan to arrive 5–10 minutes before your appointment. We are located at 1114 N. Cole Road in a convenient strip mall with free parking right outside our door. This gives you time to settle in, fill out any remaining paperwork, and begin to relax before your treatment.

4

Practitioner Consultation

Your practitioner will sit down with you for a brief consultation to discuss your goals, areas of concern, and any questions you have. Together, you will create a plan tailored specifically to you.

5

Your Personalized Treatment

Relax and enjoy your session. Whether you are receiving a therapeutic massage, a custom facial, or an energy healing treatment, every detail is adapted to your unique needs.

6

Recommendations & Follow-Up

After your treatment, your practitioner will share personalized aftercare recommendations and suggest a follow-up plan to help you maintain and build on your results.

Helpful Tips for Your Visit

  • What to wear: Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. For massage, you will undress to your comfort level and be properly draped. For facials, avoid heavy makeup.
  • Parking: Free parking is available directly in front of our studio at the 1114 N. Cole Road strip mall. No meters, no garages — easy in and out.
  • Communication: Your comfort matters most. Please share any preferences, sensitivities, or concerns with your practitioner — we tailor every session to you.
  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and after your session, especially for massage and facial treatments. This supports your body's natural healing response.
