Welcome! Please Read Before Booking:

Appointments are released in monthly blocks. New bookings open on the first of each month for the following month (e.g., March appointments become available on February 1st).

If you don’t see an opening that suits your schedule, we encourage you to use the waitlist feature—you can note your preferred days and times, and you’ll be notified automatically if a spot opens up.

We now offer the option to purchase a gift card. Please note that our calendar fills quickly, and gift cards do not guarantee availability with a specific provider or within a specific timeframe. If you’re gifting a time-sensitive treatment, we recommend purchasing and booking in advance—or encouraging the recipient to do so.

Jessi’s availability is currently reserved for clients receiving monthly facial treatments or Sculpting Buccal Facials. If you’re new to Vena Cava or exploring our offerings, we warmly recommend booking with Lydia or Louise, who have trained closely with Jessi and offer beautiful, aligned care.

Thank you for supporting our growing team—we can’t wait to welcome you.

We look forward to seeing you!
