I invite you experience Sacred Self-Care — a deeply personal and rejuvenating experience—one that I love to create for each client.- Lisa Meikle
Master Esthetician & Soul-Care Practitioner nurturing others for over 35 years

I created Bella Donna Esthetics over thirty years ago to serve my loyal esthetics clients. Bella Donna thrived as an award-winning boutique spa offering some of the best esthetic services on island.Three generations of Bella women, including my mother, daughter and granddaughters — plus my clients and their families — have enjoyed me-time at my oasis of self-care, surrounded by flourishing gardens and natural beauty.

Bodacious Living by Lisa was a rebirth of my spa in recognition of a new phase of my business that expanded beyond esthetics to include soul-care and teachings of the Goddess. I created a sacred space for women to return to themselves through offerings that nourished not only skin, but body, mind and soul.The peacock feather — an eternal symbol of beauty, grace, wisdom, spiritual growth, and the divine feminine — has became a central symbol in the spa. The peacock feather stayed with me when I was called to transform my business again to include new healing modalities and return to a renovated space that transports you from the busy world to a sacred temple space of rest with Egyptian decor and sacred geometry bringing you back to you.Bella Donna Healing Spa is the result of integrating decades of wisdom, training and hands-on experience that I have gained by nourishing others as an esthetician, goddess temple guide/facilitator and self-care teacher.

SKINCARE FOR AGELESS BEAUTY

Embrace your radiance with supportive and nourishing products made in British Columbia! I designed two skincare lines to restore and maintain healthy skin at any age: J+L Skincare and Goddess Bliss Skincare.Many formulas are long-lasting, so some products are offered in Starter or Travel Sizes to help preserve the integrity of the ingredients.

MOISTURE+ CLEANSER
This complexion-perfecting cleanser replenishes hydration, enhances radiance and improves skin texture.Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Sea Vegetable, and Argan Extract, it replenishes skin humectants for a smoother, healthier complexion.

MOISTURE+ TONER
Hydrate, balance, and protect the skin with this marine and Hyaluronic Acid-rich toner.Panthenol, Copper Ferment, and Allantoin enhance the skin’s rejuvenation.Natural proteins, vitamins, and minerals nourish even the most moisture-deficient skin.

FACE SERUM
This serum includes 5 plant-based growth factors and 6 peptides, one of which helps relax expression lines. The other 5 peptides stimulate connective tissue regeneration.Growth factors direct stem cell behaviour, while peptides motivate skin cells to perform specific rejuvenating functions. Together, they strengthen the dermal matrix and promote a more youthful appearance.

EYE SERUM
This serum contains 7 active plant ingredients with 2 specifically designed to firm the delicate eye area.Plant cell actives help break down and remove fat and cellular waste to improve tissue firmness.They also enhance circulation and reduce puffiness, improving the appearance of dark circles and promoting smooth, healthy-looking eyes.

MOISTURE+ CRÈME
This moisturizer is a richer, more hydrating version of the Face Serum.It includes 9 peptides—one for muscle relaxation and 8 that stimulate connective tissue regeneration.It also contains 5 growth factors and 3 plant stem cells sourced from apple, gardenia, and Gotu Kola.

ADVANCED VITAMIN C SERUM
This advanced formula delivers a synergistic blend of multi-source antioxidants and botanical actives that deeply nourish and protect compromised skin. Over time, skin appears brighter, smoother, and more resilient.J+L Advanced Vitamin C Serum is suitable for all skin types and especially beneficial for mature or hyperpigmented skin.

COLLAGEN ACTIVATOR SERUM
An intensive treatment targeting hydration loss and skin resilience.Argireline Peptide Solution helps with overall skin smoothing, while Syn-Coll™ supports collagen synthesis to combat visible signs of aging caused by collagen depletion.Hyaluronic Acid microspheres and a Mushroom BioComplex boost hydration and nourishment to moisture-depleted areas.

COLLAGEN ACTIVATOR MASK
Restore hydration and suppleness with this moisture-attracting mask.Nourishing Jojoba, Rosehip, Avocado, and Sunflower Oils pamper the skin with beneficial vitamins that enhance cellular dynamics.Antioxidant extracts of Acai Berry, polyphenol-rich Teas, and Vitamins E and C offer vital nutrition to devitalized skin.

ANISE FOAMING CLEANSER
A gentle, foaming cleanser rich in vitamins E and C. Organic jojoba and rice oils cleanse deeply, removing impurities and makeup. Infused with mint balm and peppermint oil for a refreshing finish, this cleanser is free from harsh chemicals and preservatives.Removes makeup and improves oily or combination skin.

REFRESHING TONIC

BRIGHT LIGHT SERUM
Brighten and rejuvenate your complexion with this potent serum featuring five natural skin brighteners and Swiss Apple Stem Cells.Antioxidants like Turmeric-derived Tetrahydrocurcuminoids, Ferulic Acid, and Resveratrol improve cellular exchange and protect against UV damage.This hydroquinone-free formula targets dark spots and discoloration caused by environmental exposure.

RICH AVOCADO CRÈME

SKIN RESTORING ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Sourced from nature, my skincare lines deliver results immediately and long-term.Peptides mimic the skin’s natural collagen production, targeting skin cell renewal and combating aging.GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) helps reduce wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, acting similarly to Botox.Argireline, known as a "needle-free" Botox alternative, relaxes muscle contractions that cause deep expression lines and wrinkles.Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is stable, water-soluble form of Vitamin C that boosts collagen production and reduces inflammation while protecting against oxidative stress.

Kakadu Plum, nature’s most concentrated source of Vitamin C — over 50x more potent than oranges—enhancing skin brightness and luminosity.Phloretin is powerful antioxidant that supports skin tone and clarity while defending against environmental damage.Astaxanthin is an ultra-potent antioxidant, 550 times stronger than Vitamin E, known for its protective and restorative effects on skin cells.Ferulic Acid boosts the efficacy of other antioxidants and helps shield the skin from UV-induced damage.Emblica (Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract) reduces hyperpigmentation, evens skin tone, and defend against photoaging.

Photos are of beautiful blooms from my garden throughout the season.

I felt tired and yet I couldn’t rest before my tuning forks session.During the session I was snuggled into a nice warm bed and felt the vibrations throughout my entire body like I was open to receive the divine.Lisa has such good grounding calm energy in her and in her space. When I left , I felt changed and like I had opened up to whole new part of myself. Remembering who I really am.Even the next day, I was feeling more soft and open to receive, better energy, more grounded and connected. Thank you! - Helen Bergstrom

As I aged, I noticed my skin starting to sag so it was now or never to get on this. I contacted Lisa ready to take better care of my skin and also make time for just me to receive some nurturing.Within a week of having my facial treatment and using Goddess Bliss skincare, I noticed big changes. It has been almost a year now, my skin lines have softened, my tonicity has improved, and my skin feels radiant and alive.Regular monthly massage and facial treatments are a big part of my self-care now, I feel fantastic, I am worth it! Thank you Lisa!" - Shari Molchan

I highly recommend trying the Indian Head Massage after a stressful day or week.I arrived after a stressful day, my mind was full of busyness, and I felt exhausted.After my Indian Head Massage treatment, I felt relaxed and revitalized. My mind also felt calm, clear and peaceful, it was like my stress just melted away.I will definitely be back for this treatment. - Cheryl Turner

I have been a client of Lisa's since I was 12 years old. I feel very comfortable at her spa and trust her with my skincare and spa services.I decided to invest in Goddess Bliss Skincare. I noticed many changes and benefits such as my skin feels more balanced and healthy, my dryness has diminished, my skin's tone is more even, and I wear less make-up because my skin looks radiant.I now see the value of investing in quality skin care; I am committed to my new regime and love it.Thank you Lisa for your expertise and creating such an awesome skincare line!" - Katie Davidson

Lisa, I have been coming to you for over 25 years! You have created an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance. You have a gift of giving of yourself in whatever you do and you have wonderful instincts, sensing what I need.I have found the facial, like your massage, to be more than a simple event. It is a stimulation for the senses - scent, sound, vibrations, music - and a healing for body, mind and soul. The experience leads me to deep meditation and into myself.The thoughtful choices you make for lotions and creams all add to the awakening; in particular the words you choose help me let go what is past and welcome what is to come.Time with you is foundational, tribal and leads to a sense of grounding feelings of calm and insight. It is healing is the finest sense.I look forward to coming to you as a refuge, a place of discovery. I never fail to feel supported and rejuvenated when I leave. - Margaret Litch
