Karen Hilton, Cert. Weleda Esthetician



Karen's credentials began when she was raised on an organic dairy farm, having a Swedish father who pursued everything "real and true". This together with a degree in Nutrition and Food Science from Va. Tech, formed the foundation of her curiosity for plants and, eventually, plant-based skin care formulations. It was a no-brainer for Karen to go immediately into holistic skin care upon completing her esthetics education.

After receiving her license, Karen began building her skin care practice and working in one of NJ's largest independent natural products stores as their resident holistic esthetician and nutritionist. She was by then, well familiar with Weleda products having discovered them in the store located in the old "milk house" on Kimberton's "Seven Stars Farm", a Biodynamically managed farm.

Soon after working in the natural products store, Karen discovered the Dr. Hauschka line and enrolled in one of their 5 day courses for licensed estheticians. She was enthusiastic enough about that course to take it 5 times, at different locations in the US and Germany. After 2 years of treating skin using Dr. Hauschka products and principles, she began working as a sales representative for the company in NJ and PA. Her strong interest and sales success got the attention of the company president, who asked Karen to replace her as a trainer for estheticians. This opportunity allowed Karen to become a member of the International Esthetician Group which held a yearly meeting in Germany, at WALA, the manufacturer of Dr. Hauschka Skin Care. Several years later, Karen became Dr. Hauschka USA's National Sales Manager, a position she thoroughly enjoyed.

After leaving the various appointments with Dr. Hauschka at the end of 2001, Karen focused full-time on her holistic practice.

In 2003, the former P. R. manager at Weleda and Karen collaborated on a project to bring the Almond and Wild Rose lines into the US and create an esthetics division. This project led to the offering of these remarkable lines to the general public and now Karen is here to share about the wonders of these products. Her particular passion is learning whatever the plants have to teach. Karen has been studying Homeopathy for 5 years and offers homeopathic education to her clients in addition to skin care.
