Q & A


Why did you become an Esthetician?


My first facial in 2010 changed my life. It took me to a place I can only describe as the blur between heaven and earth. I immediately enrolled at the Aveda Institute Portland.


How do you feel about the Beauty Industry?


From a young age, basically as soon as I was exposed to the media, I was taught that we need to improve ourselves. And we should buy the makeup, the potions, the procedures… We must do everything to stay “youthful”. It’s everywhere, and often even at home. Attract the best partner, be skinny, don’t age… you must do battle! If we choose to fight aging, we are signing up for a war to last a lifetime.


I have spent too much time and money without ever feeling satisfied. It's like reaching for a carrot on a string in front of you. I became a very frustrated person. I didn’t like to look in the mirror; there was always a fault waiting for me there.


Over the years, the idea that we are already perfect, we are already worthy, we are already enough just as we are, found its way to me, and started to awaken that truth deep inside. I am so thankful that these ideas, these truths are becoming more and more accepted and talked about in our culture. Improvement... hmmm, Growth... better!!


I still struggle (oh yes!) but I am very selective in the media and content I consume, and it helps so much.


My dream is to support my clients in their own journey of de-programming and learning how to support their skin, their wellbeing, and their bodies. Our bodies are so wise, if we can just get out of the way.


I am not here to fix anyone, I am not here to judge, to tell anyone to change their face or their body, or tell them not to. I am only here to support, to create a safe space, allow the power of our own body's wisdom to do the real work.


Can you talk more about aging?


What a privilege it is to age! This life is relatively short, and I want to spend it having fun, uplifting others, and appreciating this magnificent world around me.


I recall spending time with my grandmother when I was small. She was so beautiful- her smile, her unconditional love radiated out of her. Wow, to look at her was to look at the face of love. That’s all I saw.


This is why you will never find an “anti-aging” treatment offered here.


What do you do for fun?


I love to play with my dogs, rearrange my furniture, walk around the plants at the nursery. I enjoy cooking and eating even more! I love to listen to music and dance, create art, and make bad jokes 😊


What products do you use in your Treatments?


Rather than stick to one line, I am constantly curating a collection of different products. I love to try different things, and experiment on myself. Smell is such a powerful sensory experience, it’s a big factor in my incorporating a product into my collection. I prefer to use organic products when possible and avoid synthetics. I also love to use singe-ingredient applications, such as honey, rose water, jojoba or rose-hip oil, aloe, yogurt, coconut…


Some of my favorite brands are Living Libations, Earth to You, Bathing Culture, ESPA, Salt & Stone, Caudalie, Soft Services.


What would you tell your younger self?


Have fun, it’s not that serious. Be kind to yourself, as you are to others. Appreciate every day, appreciate every person. Haters need the most understanding. Look for miracles.


Any last thoughts?


I want to be the Esthetician that supports you in being you! You are beautiful! <3
