My passions: healthy aging, rosacea, and adult acne

It all started with acne:

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love everything about the beauty industry. I remember as a young teen visiting a makeup boutique in our neighborhood and buying whatever I could afford with my allowance, and then practicing my makeup application techniques on my younger brother, (who hates when I share this. And this is why I continue to share. ;)

It wasn’t until I began developing acne that I really took an interest in skincare. My spending shifted from makeup to anything touting 'acne clearing.' This went on for years, until one day, my mom and I spent an afternoon at a spa. It was a memorable ‘mother-daughter’ day, and my very first facial. And the first time I realized that helping others with their skin would become my life's passion. 

Within my 11 years as an esthetician, I have immersed myself in education, and continue to do so. After receiving my esthetics license and professional training, I received my certification in Oncology Esthetics by the pioneer of Oncology Esthetics, Morag Currin, who founded and developed Oncology Training International.

In 2018 I received my first holistic training by Dr. Vodder School International Manual Lymphatic Drainage, trained by a world-renowned educator, Anne Bramham. 

Each of these experiences has shaped me into the esthetician I am today; an esthetician with empathy for those who struggle with acne, rosacea, and skin sensitivities.

At the young age of 51, I can appreciate aging confidently. I’m a believer in a more graceful approach to treating the skin. My goal is to help you effectively manage inflammatory conditions while inspiring healthy aging. I take a natural and holistic approach to your skin's health that not only promotes healthy skin but inspires permanent change. 

My own skin struggles: aging (I just turned 51), acne (it doesn't seem fair now that I'm older), and rosacea. A triple threat to manage, but it can be done.
