My Story
I’m Christi Gray-Victor, licensed esthetician, founder of 7d Esthetics and Healing Arts, and passionate advocate for holistic wellness. I help clients reconnect with their inner peace and natural beauty through integrative skincare and sound therapy.
From a young age, I dreamed of going to beauty school. But my father, a hardworking entrepreneur, had other plans. He encouraged me to pursue a more “practical” career, and I became an accountant, working in the family business for seven years before relocating to California.
As a single mother, stability was my priority. I spent over three decades in accounting, twenty-four of those years commuting up to three hours a day, five days a week. The stress of that lifestyle took a toll. I lived in a constant state of fight-or-flight, and my body responded with chronic inflammation and fatigue. I knew something had to change.
Then, two years ago, my sister invited me to my first sound bath, and everything shifted.
I walked into the room with knots in my neck and back and a mind full of anxiety. After an hour immersed in the vibrations of sound, I walked out feeling like I had shed ten pounds. The physical tension was gone. I felt lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself than I had in years.
That single experience opened a door.
I began regularly attending sound baths and immersing myself in the world of holistic wellness. I took classes in Reiki, sound therapy, and energy healing. I witnessed firsthand the power of vibration and frequency to regulate the nervous system and support true healing.
And then, the dream I had as a young girl came back to life, this time, with purpose.
I returned to school to become a licensed esthetician, but I knew I didn’t want to offer just facials. I wanted to create a sacred space where women could come to feel beautiful, not just look it. A space that nurtures the body, soothes the nervous system, and restores the soul.
At 7d Esthetics and Healing Arts, I combine the ancient wisdom of touch and sound to provide holistic skincare experiences that heal from the inside out.
In today’s world, we are bombarded with pressure to chase ever-changing beauty standards, Botox, fillers, filters and facades. But true beauty isn’t manufactured. You don’t have to chase trends to be beautiful. You already are, when you’re true to yourself. My mission is to help women embrace their natural radiance and treat their skin with kindness.
Facials today are often dismissed as luxury or vanity. But historically, they were sacred rituals. In ancient Egypt, China, Greece, and India, treatments like massage, milk and honey, oils, clays, and herbs were used to promote vitality, longevity, and energy flow, not just aesthetics. These rituals weren’t about perfection; they were about balance, healing, and self-respect.
The same is true for sound. Civilizations throughout time have used tone and frequency to support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Science is only now catching up to what the ancients knew: sound isn’t just heard, it’s felt. And it has the power to heal.
Today, my goal is simple yet powerful: To offer every client a moment of peace. A moment to breathe. A moment to reset, rebalance, and reconnect with themselves.
Because self-care isn’t selfish, it’s sacred. And beauty isn’t a trend, it’s truth. It’s not about fitting into a mold. It’s about embracing your own unique features, energy, and essence.
