Skincare has been a very personal journey for me and is near and dear to my heart.

I had acne most of my life before becoming an esthetician. I started breaking out when I was in fifth grade. Then it progressively got worse. I tried every medicine and treatment you can imagine — topical, oral, antibiotics, different soaps, and various skincare regimens. At times my skin would improve, but I spent most of my life being self-conscious about my skin. Fast forward to my mid-twenties, and after having my first son, I developed cystic acne again. A friend referred me to an esthetician who started treating my skin. I was deeply inspired by how she helped me and how much better I felt about myself and my skin. Even though I had a degree in Interior Design and a lucrative career, I knew instantly this is what I wanted to do. I wanted to help people like me with their skin and to feel better about themselves. After studying and working under several well-known estheticians, I decided to open my clinic, where I could provide a place to hire and empower other women as well. I love helping my clients with any skin issues and restoring their confidence, whether it be rosacea, hyperpigmentation, or aging, but my acne clients still have a special place in my heart. Through my own personal experience and over 20 years of research, I have come to learn what can help control acne and also what can trigger it. The transformations that I have been involved in with my clients over the years has been the best reward.

When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my two amazing sons and my wonderful husband. A lot of my time is spent watching my boys play sports. I love to read, cook, hike, travel, drink wine, shop, and of course, decorate, and re-decorate.
