About Me.
With nearly two decades of experience in the aesthetic industry, I've learned that achieving truly beautiful skin goes far beyond products or treatments-- it's about connection, care, and a commitment to long term results. My approach blends holistic principles with advanced medical grade skin care to create a balanced, personalized experience for every client.
I believe in listening first-- understanding your unique concerns, lifestyle and goals-- then designing a customized skincare plan that evolves with you. This isn't a one and done facial; it's an ongoing partnership dedicated to helping you discover your best skin.
To me, radiant, healthy skin reflects harmony between mind, body and spirit. My goal is to treat the whole person, nurturing not just your complexion but your overall sense of well-being-- so your natural glow shines from within.
Education
2000-2004
Lawrence University
My first degree is a Bachelorette of Arts (BA) in Spanish and Liberal Arts. My background in the liberal arts has shaped the way I approach skincare and client care. A liberal arts education nurtures curiosity, empathy and a deep understanding of the human experience-- qualities that go far beyond textbooks or techniques. It teaches you to see connections, listen deeply, and think critically-- all essential in creating meaningful, customized results.
I was also fortunate to travel throughout South America, where I connected with the rich traditions of indigenous cultures and visited deeply spiritual destinations such as Machu Picchu, Aquas Calientes, Cuzco, and the Atacama desert. These experiences deepened my awareness for the natural world and enhanced to my passion for holistic healing elements.
Through education and exploration, I've learned that beauty and wellness are not surface-level pursuits-- they're part of a balanced, intentional way of living. This belief guides me-- from customized skin care journey to helping clients discover harmony within themselves and their skin.

My second degree (certification) was becoming a Licensed Esthetician (LE). My formal education in aesthetics along with my professional licensing provided a strong foundation in the safety and art of skin care. I mastered the fundamentals of aesthetics while incorporating the use of botanicals and ayurvedic elements to enhance each treatment experience.

MATC
ADN, Registered Nurse (RN) - To top off my well rounded education in liberal arts and skill specific aesthetics, I pursued a degree in registered nursing from Milwaukee Area Technical College. At this point I had been working in aesthetics for over 15 years and was ready to take the next step in helping my clients achieve their aesthetic goals. This path allows me to integrate advanced medical knowledge and my passion for facial anatomy with my holistic approach-- practicing skin treatments on a deeper level with an enhanced understanding of science and precision.
