MY STORY
Greetings beautiful! I have been a practicing master aesthetician for 2 decades and I am obsessed with what I do. I grew up an artist dabbling in all forms of art media, yet none of them are as rewarding to me as skincare. The best part of my job is empowering people to look and feel their best, and helping people become a literal work of art! I eat, breathe and sleep beauty and I am always keeping abreast of the latest trends and technology available. I am trained in many advanced forms of skincare and am a skilled makeup artist.
I consider myself an anti-aging expert & skin magician. Though my knowledge of wound healing and utilization of some of the TOP skincare brands on the market I help clients literally turn back the hands of time. Also as a human that has struggled with some of my own chronic skin conditions; stage 4 acne, melasma & loose skin, I bring a lot of compassion and understanding to my clients personal struggles and inner longings for beautiful clear healthy skin
​
I also bring my love of healthy food into the mix with a certificate in nutritional food handling from CPAVTS. I understand the important role nutrition and detox play in skin health and wellness and pride myself. in working with skin issues like severe acne and eczema - both of which can stem from inflammatory foods. I have an extremely diverse skincare background from living in the DC area for over 6 years and have worked with multiple skin ethnicities, and specialize in a myriad of skin concerns ranging from acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and anti-aging.
I practice highly customized skincare, as each of our skin types is different and unique. Each of my procedures always begin with a thorough skincare assessment to examine what your skin needs right now, as skin needs can change as the seasons change and you may need different treatments at different times throughout the year. You won’t find any cookie-clutter facials here! I personally design and curate all my protocols to optimize the BEST possible results for each clients goals.
To tie all my education together, I attended and graduated from the VITA school of tantric arts ( 2017-2019) where I spent over 600 hours immersed in various tantric practices. These practices helped me to release trauma, be more present in my body, and be more peaceful in my mind by creating a framework that unlocks the unconscious/ subconscious mind. Tantric practices are based on the principle that the duality (the separation, of spirit and matter) is simply an illusion, which causes pain and suffering. The goal when becoming tantric is the transcending the perceived state of separation into union with the divine. To me this means uncovering all that which brings us pain or suffering, feeling it, transmuting it, and then allowing our full authentic self to shine through regardless of fear, shattering all the false masks we wear, ending the war of duality that exists within all of us. Tantra also teaches us to live in the present moment though the awareness of a 5 sense reality ( as can be experienced during my tantra facial)
I bring the culmination of all this knowledge, along with my reiki masters certification to cultivate deep transformational healing of the body- mind & soul- when I hold space for ALL my clients, so they may feel free to be the fullest expression of themselves at all times. When my clients say that I feel safe and nurturing, these practices are truly the reason why.
I am able to hold space for all that you are because I am able to understand and hold space for all that I am. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me, I’m so excited to meet you, and to help you feel relaxed, confident, and like a literal work of art in your unique beautiful skin!

Peace and Namaste
