Monastery Made is a natural skincare studio and spa with an incredible collection of small-batch skincare products tucked into the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. 

The space transcends you to the Greek Cyclades where Athena Hewett, founder, spent summers with her grandmother pressing oil from their own grove and mixing botanicals. This is where Athena first experienced the beauty and power of aromatherapy and natural skincare. The spa design mirrors those memories of the serene Greek Isles as well as Monastery’s ethos of “deep, full body healing for effortless beauty that lasts”.  The interior applies iconic arches, soft curving forms, and hand-troweled plaster surfaces that diffuse light and soften sightlines to create a luminous studio that feels like a modern island refuge.
