I feel like people always ask me, “Did you have to go to school to do what you do?”

I started my college career at CSU thinking I wanted to be in the fashion world. As much as I loved fashion and clothes, the industry did not want to help people.

And, I always wanted to help people.

I have had this fascination with anatomy and physiology specifically the skin and why the skin does what it does.

In the 90s, I was working at the Oxford Spa as a massage therapist.

This amazing esthetician named Aya gave me my first facial introducing me to the world of esthetics.

And, I fell in love with it.

After six months practicing massage therapy, I realized I wanted to become an esthetician.

I went to Front Range Community College in Boulder for a year while working full time.

I did massage and esthetician work at Oxford. Then I got a job at Essentials and worked there for 17 years before I went out on my own.

Running my own business, I not only give facials, I offer lash extensions, lifts and tinting. I do sugaring. I am learning to make my own products. I enjoy coming up with new treatments to revitalize the skin and create a deep sense of relaxation for my clients.
