As an esthetician, I resonate and empathize most with those who not only have compromised skin conditions, but compromised self esteem. In my treatment room, imperfect skin isn’t seen as something to be solved or erased, but rather as something to be supported. I aim to approach every client and every treatment in a way that provides nervous system regulation, that honors your skin’s story, and holds deep respect for skin’s natural regenerative properties. I provide holistic facials rooted in soothing touch and intentional massage, lymphatic drainage, and organic, ethically sourced, skin loving botanicals. Every detail is designed to feel grounding, transportive, and held with care without compromising results – so that you leave not only with skin that is celebrated and nurtured, but also leaves you with an invitation to come back to yourself. When I’m not in the treatment room I am either working on my fantasy novel or reading one, watching scary movies on the couch with my three cats, dancing the night away at a music festival, or swimming in a body of water somewhere.
