I have been in practice as an esthetician for over 25 years. My guiding principles and values within the world of skincare and beauty lie in the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda. Our skin is a complex organ, serving as a pathway for detoxification, a channel for absorption and excretion, a regulator of temperature and moisture, and a producer of endocrine hormones. But, at a more profound level, the function and appearance of the skin is deeply influenced by our nervous, endocrine and immune systems. It is a reflection of everything that is going on at every level of being, an indicator of the workings of the body, mind, emotions and spirit. In Ayurveda, the sanskrit word "rasasara" literally translates to skin, but it is also described as "the cream that rises to the top", meaning the quality of the skin is the result of everything we consume - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It is a mirror,  reflecting what is occuring within us at every level of being. "As within, so without".

As a holistic esthetician, my main objectives are to create the space and time for my clients to truly relax and to offer procedures and products that help maintain balance and radiance from the inside out. The tools I utilize in my practice are primarily my hands  (massage and energy modalities) and whole plant based preparations.
