The Rockefeller Center for Anti-Aging
By Catherine Spearnak SDUN Reporter
When Kimberly Rockefeller
was in seventh grade, she had already planned her career as a cosmetologist. “My father went through the
roof,” said the now-36-year-old. “He expected college, the whole thing—which I did.” But after earning a degree in
biology from Hobart College, she moved to San Diego in 1996, and slowly her new career was born. Rockefeller first sold vitamin supplements, then flowers, and then enrolled to study skin care in 2002. Eight years later, the Rock-
efeller Center for Anti-Aging in Kensington was soon born on June 1 at 3938 Adams Ave. “Our basic focus is to keep
people looking and feeling young, whether that’s their skin, their muscles or their attitude,” Rockefeller said. “If you feel good, you look good.” Services include natural nails,
massage, skin care, peels, wax- ing and oxygen therapy. Rock- efeller, who is the center’s skin treatment specialist, said many people are unaware of the bene- fits of oxygen treatment. A treat- ment machine blows moisture and vitamins into the skin. “It’s super hydrating and a nourishing product that plumps the skin,” she said. The Rockefeller Center offers
a complimentary oxygen treat- ment just for visiting the tranquil studio. Rockefeller specializes in skin care treatment and peels, which are corrective facials. “Facials can do a significant
turn-around with the skin,” she said.
For example, with a peel,
the therapist can go deeper and deeper into the skin using an acid, she said. How much change
the client receives depends on the strength of the acid. “The benefit is to plump skin,
diminish lines and even out the skin tone,” Rockefeller said. “You can take up to five years off the aesthetic age of the skin.” It’s taken eight years for Rockefeller to build up her cli- entele and open the Rockefeller Center for Anti-Aging with her partner and fiancé, Gary Joha. He owns the Air Conditioned Lounge, a neighborhood dance lounge in North Park at 4673 30th
St. The thing Rockefeller likes
the best about her job is working with people. “I get to choose who I work
with because my clients become my family,” she said. “I usually see them, their sister, mother, brother, even father. It’s so nice to make them all feel better.” Inevitably, once clients get to
know Rockefeller and her staff— massage therapist Kenzie O’Dell and Sydny Ady, nails and reflex- ology—they become close and sometimes reveal details of their personal lives. “We listen—we’re a neutral
party they can come in and vent to,” said Rockefeller, stressing that the center is not a counsel- ing center. “Once you talk about things that are bothering you, you walk out with a spring in your step.” One question everyone asks Rockefeller is whether she is related to the famous Rockefell- ers who made their fortune with Standard Oil. “My father is John D., and we
are related way back somehow,” she said. Now maybe Kim Rockefeller
will be famous on her own for The Rockefeller Center for Anti- Aging. For information, call (619) 840-45866.u
