Today we’d like to introduce you to Zinthia Garcia.
Hi Zinthia, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I didn’t find my purpose in skincare it found me through crisis.
In January 2024, my grandmother went in for what was meant to be a routine procedure. During surgery, her large intestine was perforated, which led to the discovery of pancreatic cancer with little chance of survival. While she was in surgery, I felt an unexplainable pull to attend my first facial reflexology class it was scheduled that same day.
My instructor, trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and face reading, looked at me and immediately knew something was wrong. After I explained, she said, “oh honey, you’ll be able to soothe her symptoms.”
I didn’t believe her. It was cancerhow could this possibly help?
But I stayed.
For the next six months, I worked on my grandmother every other not to cure, but to comfort. And something began to reveal itself.
I started to notice patterns how tension, pain, appetite, and emotion showed up through her face. Each response felt like a signal, something the body was trying to communicate.
I knew it was working in the smallest, most human moments. One day, my mother called me and said, “Mamita is asking for the stick bring it.” lol
It stayed with me because this was a woman who was dying, yet she could feel the difference saw value into facial sculpting and reflexology. She began to trust the work. If she couldn’t sleep, we worked. If there was tension, inflammation, or discomfort, there was a point for it.
It wasn’t about fixing it was about listening. And the more I listened, the more the body responded.
After she passed, my work expanded rapidly. My books filled, but more importantly, my sensitivity deepened. I began to see the same patterns in everyone what we call a skin concern is often something more subtle, more internal… a nervous system asking to be supported, a body asking to soften.
Today, through Undertone Skn in Edgewater Miami, my work lives at the intersection of facial sculpting and nervous system alignment where structure returns, circulation begins to move again, and the face reflects what has been released. You see the sculpted features we crave starts with a calm nervous system.
This is functional beauty where the sculpt isn’t created, it’s revealed, the moment the face is no longer holding what it was never meant to carry.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t been a smooth road and I don’t think it was meant to be.
One of the biggest challenges was realizing that the way I saw skin didn’t fully align with the industry I was trained in. I was taught to treat surface-level concerns, but through experience, I began to see that what shows up on the face is often the result of deeper imbalances tension, circulation, and the nervous system.
There was also the personal side of it caring for my grandmother while navigating uncertainty, and then returning to work without really having the space to process everything. In many ways, I had to grow into my work while living through it.
Another challenge was trust trusting what I was seeing, even when it wasn’t widely understood or validated yet. My approach didn’t come from a traditional blueprint. It came from observation, repetition, and results.
Over time, those challenges became the foundation of what I do today. They forced me to refine my method, trust my instincts, and create something that feels both intentional and deeply effective.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My work lives in the space where the face meets the nervous system.
I specialize in facial sculpting that goes beyond aesthetics working through the jaw, neck, and shoulders to release stored tension, restore circulation, and support the skin’s natural function. Through touch, I study how the face holds emotion, stress, and imbalance and how it begins to shift when those layers are gently released.
This work is for the modern human constantly stimulated, often holding more than they realize.
What I’m known for is the kind of transformation that feels as much as it’s seen. Clients come in for sculpting, but what they experience is a softening a return to themselves. The lift, the glow, the definition… they follow.
What I’m most proud of is staying curious allowing trial and error to guide me, recognizing patterns, and committing to mastery, even when there was no clear path.
What sets me apart is how I see the face. Not as something to correct, but as something to understand. Most of what presents as a skin concern is often something deeper a nervous system asking for support, a body holding more than it should.
My work is about restoring that dialogue so the face can finally reflect what’s been released.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I think mentorship and networking look very different when you’re building something that doesn’t follow a traditional path.
For me, it wasn’t about finding one mentor it was about staying curious and learning from everything. From teachers, from clients, from observation, from repetition. A lot of what shaped my work came from being fully present in the process and paying attention to patterns.
In terms of networking, what’s worked best has been letting my work speak for itself. When the results are real, the right people start to find you clients, collaborators, even professionals in adjacent fields. It becomes less about chasing connections and more about building something that naturally attracts alignment.
My advice would be to focus on refining your craft first. Stay consistent, stay observant, and don’t be afraid to take a path that isn’t fully mapped out. The right relationships tend to come when your work is clear and intentional.
