Welcome to the skin fam! I'm your ginger esthie bestie who is a true die hard skinthusiast!
A few things you must know about me (you know, to see if our vibe matches?!):
I love to thrift, I am fully in my auntie era and loving every minute of it, I'm madly in love with my bf Cory and we share a passion of Indie Cinema & Music and my current Spotify go to's are Still Woozy, Stephen Sanchez and the Bridgerton Official Playlist LOL. I'm an introverted, extrovert- so working in a solo suite, but having 1:1 connection with you soul sisters has been a DREAM come true! Helping you heal has been the biggest joy of my life!
Always rooting for you
I knew that I couldn’t do it by myself and I needed a medical professional to find out internally what was causing chaos.
That’s when I discovered naturopathic medicine!
I worked with a local naturopath for about 6 months and my skin got a lot worse… I wasn’t diagnosed with anything and wasn’t satisfied with the answers or health care I was receiving. While that area of my healing was lacking, I was doing everything in my power to heal my skin. I invested in advanced acne courses, spent countless hours talking to mentors / experts in the field (who I adore so much!!) and spent all my time reading about holistic esthetics and holistic healing.
Thankfully, when I went to see the new naturopath… my life was forever changed.
I was diagnosed with PCOS, poly cystic ovarian syndrome. A women's hormone disorder that if gone untreated can give you the lovely symptoms I had been suffering with: acne, weight gain, excessive hair growth etc.
I had to completely change my life. The way I ate, the way I managed stress, and so much more. From the moment I went off birth control July 2020 to this picture in February 2021 I was consistent with my skincare routine and facial treatments. I practice and preach holistic esthetics because you can not heal externally if you don’t heal internally.
I know that there’s so many of you that feel like you’re drowning out there, just like I was. Acne is physically, emotionally and mentally painful. It is exhausting to feel like you’re doing everything it takes to heal and feel well, but spinning in circles.
I am so proud of my acne journey. I have dedicated my life to understanding acne so I can help educate, support and guide you through your skin healing journey as well. I know what skincare ingredients / products work, I know what facial protocols will get you the results you crave, BUT I also know that unless you’re internally healthy- you’ll be stuck. I’m here to teach you all I know! Let’s enjoy the journey.
Always rooting for you!
First it began on my body - back, chest, neck. Eventually working its way onto my face- oh the joy!
I saw multiple dermatologists and worked closely with my primary care providers (among many other doctors visits!). Not one single medical professional gave me a diagnosis or tried to find the root to my symptoms.
Some prescriptions provided a little relief, but it was always short lived and always came back much….much worse. I don’t have any picture documentation of this time in my life as I was swallowed with immense embarrassment and shame.
It was a dark chapter in my life and I’m so grateful I didn’t give up!
It felt like overnight my health was set on literal F I R E.
My acne went from mild to severe. Covering me from head to toe in painful, inflamed breakouts. At this time I stopped working with the prior naturopath as I felt I wasn’t being truly listened to and helped.
A client of mine recommended her naturopath’s facility as they specialized in women’s hormone health. Not going to lie, I was timid. I had already invested in the prior naturopath and I was scared to invest out of pocket. I knew deep down that whatever was going down internally needed a doctor who knew their shit and was willing to put the work in to help me figure it out. No amount of skincare and facial treatments was going to resolve the severity of breakouts I was experiencing!
Acne began to settle down. Scarring was quickly healing and inflammation started to diminish. My new diet and lifestyle became a new way of life! My naturopath was so proud of my progress. The hard work started to pay off baby!!
Healthy skin is in baby!
let's work together so i can help you reach your glowing skin goals!
The beauty of holistic esthetics is finding the root of what's causing your skin to flare- let's work together to dig deeper!
