Owner, Licensed Esthetician.

First, I believe strongly in the prioritization of self-care, in any form: how we feel, our mental health...all of it.

I have been in the cosmetology industry for over a decade in a number of capacities, and have had extensive training in many skincare modalities, product ingredients, and makeup/color theory.  

I also own an esthetic supply company, which leads me to all the unique, awesome products we use in the treatment room.

My love of eastern beauty and selfcare rituals began when I lived in Japan for two years and traveled around Asia. I spent a lot of time teaching English and getting lost, but also a lot of time observing the intention, purpose, and importance with which beauty is regarded. 

Before all of that, though, I was a high school English teacher.  I love books, podcasts, fixing things, true crime, and all things beauty.
