Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
-Franz Kafka
I am a Libra. My ruling planet is Venus. I see beauty in everyone and everything. I love working and creating with my hands. It is no surprise to me that the two practices I love the most involve the use of my hands. I design and make jewelry as well as practice holistic, nurturing skincare. I like to cook; I make my own kombucha; I grow my own lettuce, kale and grape tomatoes; I love learning new things; and I talk to my plants.
I have been practicing skincare for almost 10 years now. My practice is pro-aging with the perspective that good skincare comes from the inside out. Working from within sustains beautiful, vibrant skin.
I have always loved working with my hands. My hands are my tools. The ability to touch and care for the skin in a way that encourages a good homeostatic environment and promotes a healthy microbiome is what I strive to do. A few years back I decided to make my own face oils to use on my clients in my studio. Clean, uncomplicated skincare. Ingredients my clients could read, recognize and understand. A lot of my clients have since been using my face oils, elixirs and face mists as their skincare practice at home. I use organic, all natural effective ingredients that incorporate and reflect my love of essential oils, plants and botanicals.
The last few years have given me time to reflect, look inward, and evaluate my work and practice. How will I proceed and grow as time goes on? I decided to invest in myself (I found a personal coach) and in early 2023 entered again into continuing education to broaden/expand my wellspring of knowledge, practice and understanding of our body’s largest organ. The skin. Learning and training in additional practices and modalities in a holistic way is exciting. I will always be learning.
In my mind and in my heart I know that everything is connected. What we think, what we do, what we take into our bodies. It is so very simple. I want to share my knowledge with everyone. My hope is for all who cross paths with me to know that beautiful skin comes not necessarily from what you put on it, as much as your willingness to make a commitment to your skin’s health.
Sustainable skincare. From the inside out.
My Approach
At Holistic Practices, treatments revitalize and detoxify skin to promote a healthy ecosystem beneath the skin’s surface. We use natural products and personalized treatments to focus on building an environment where skin can retain vital nutrients, while effectively eliminating waste. Clients are empowered with a greater understanding of how to build and maintain healthy skin; so, the skincare journey does not end when the treatment is over.
From Nature
My focus on skincare that is derived from plants, botanicals, essential oils, seed/nut/fruit oils, and extracts assures my clients that their skincare is uncomplicated and clean. Free from chemicals, binders and fillers.
Skincare that can be read like a holistic care plan rather than a lab project. Less is more.
Skin Care for life
Sincare from the inside out and beautiful, thoughtful products made from nature. These two natural treasures make beautiful, vibrant, glowing skin sustainable…skincare for life.
Holistic skincare is not limited to facial services/treatments only. Addressing aspects of overall well-being are just as important. Good hydration (water intake), stress management, and diet certainly play a role in achieving healthy and radiant skin.
