I’m Mackenna Mountain — a passionate medical esthetics student and the founder of Wild Lotus Aesthetics, a cozy, home-based skincare studio nestled in beautiful Ladysmith, BC, on Vancouver Island.

I’m currently in the final stages of completing my 1000-hour Medical Esthetics diploma at Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver. Throughout my training, I’ve earned certifications in CBON Infection Control, Dermalogica Dermal Institute, and Circadia Product Knowledge, Foundations & Protocols. I’m also on track to receive my Dermalase IPL Certification by the end of this summer.

Wild Lotus Aesthetics was born from my desire to create a welcoming, peaceful space where clients can fully relax while receiving results-driven skincare. I’ve been working closely with friends and family as I fine-tune my techniques and treatments, and I’m so excited to now open my doors to the wider community.

As I launch my practice, I’m offering introductory model pricing for a limited time — a way to say thank you for supporting my journey and allowing me to grow alongside you.

Whether you're just starting out with skincare or looking to elevate your routine, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I can't wait to welcome you into the studio and be a part of your skincare journey.

With gratitude,
Mackenna Mountain
Founder & Esthetician, Wild Lotus Aesthetics

A Little Bit About Me

Discover Circadia

Science-Backed. Rhythm-Aligned. Results-Driven.

At Wild Lotus Aesthetics, we proudly offer Circadia by Dr. Pugliese, a professional skincare brand rooted in the science of circadian rhythms—your skin’s natural day-night cycle. Circadia blends nature and science to deliver targeted, effective skincare that works with your body, not against it.

Circadia was developed through over 40 years of research. The brand focuses on understanding how your skin functions around the clock. Your skin doesn't behave the same in the morning as it does at night. Circadia products are formulated to match these biological changes—offering protection from environmental stressors during the day and supporting deep repair and regeneration at night.

Why Choose Circadia?

  • Rooted in Skin Science

    Circadia products are backed by clinical research and formulated with medical-grade ingredients designed to treat and transform.

  • Gentle, Clean, and Safe

    Free from parabens, sulfates, artificial dyes, and fragrances—perfect for even the most sensitive or compromised skin.

  • Proven Results for All Skin Types

    From acne and aging to pigmentation and rosacea, Circadia offers customized solutions for a wide range of skin concerns.

I offer customized Circadia treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs and goals. Whether you're looking to soothe irritation, reverse signs of aging, or restore balance, Circadia delivers real results—safely, gently, and effectively.

Discover Dermalogica

Professional-Grade Skincare, Backed by Science

At Wild Lotus Aesthetics, I believe in using products that deliver real results while being safe, effective, and backed by science. That’s why we’ve chosen to work with Dermalogica — one of the most trusted names in professional skincare worldwide.

Every Dermalogica product is grounded in clinical research and designed to target specific skin concerns, from breakouts and dryness to aging and pigmentation. The brand also supports students and professionals with advanced training and certifications, allowing for truly customized, skin-specific treatments.
