Philosophy

My passion is helping people become more aligned with their true essence, which leads to total wellness. I offer my clients the time it takes to know them, drawing out their stories and building true intimacy. Like a detective, I piece together the clues that are your symptoms and all the interrelated factors—diet, stressors, sleep habits, relationships—that affect your skin and your life. This allows me to craft targeted treatments for every session and to work closely with those who want to make beneficial lifestyle changes.

My practice has always relied on both nature and science, massage and anatomy-focused, to deeply work with the fascial tissue and lymphatic system. While incorporating age-old techniques and the most advanced technologies to deliver radiant, smooth skin without injectables, harsh chemicals, or surgeries. However, my studio is a judgment-free zone and I stay informed on all the latest cosmetic enhancements, so I can offer consultation and guidance for those who would like to use my offerings in conjunction with more invasive procedures. This frequently includes collaborating with some of the best dermatologists and plastic surgeons in New York City on pre-and post-op care. In our hands, you will feel safe, confident, and cared for.

I believe beautiful skin is a by-product of healthy habits, disciplined skin rituals, and results-driven professional skincare. My approach to graceful aging transcends skincare, intertwining skincare rituals with holistic lifestyle practices. And while I treat skin care as an art form, skin care itself does not need to be complex or invasive. I believe in living life—and caring for skin—simply, mindfully, holistically, and respectfully.

My Journey

My lifelong pursuit of global beauty travel has introduced me to many different modalities and diverse cultural wisdom. I have also accrued a wealth of knowledge and certifications that extend from paramedical aesthetics to nutritional health, yoga, and meditation. I’m a master aesthetician, clinical aromatherapist, board-certified Holistic Health Coach (accredited by the Association of Drugless Practitioners), and graduate of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition affiliated with Columbia University, and the Swedish Institute. I’m a massage therapist trained in Japanese massage techniques and the ancient Thai practice of Nuad-Bo Rarn and a registered yoga instructor with Yoga Alliance. I draw from all of these teachings, but should your needs fall outside my areas of expertise, I can refer you to trusted colleagues, including acupuncturists and naturopaths.

 In 2004, I left Bliss Spa and the corporate beauty world, where I catered to an exacting, celebrity-studded clientele (Cindy Crawford, Demi Moore, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Oprah were some of the regulars), so I’m familiar with today’s exacting standards of beauty. Through the years I’ve worked directly with NFL icon, Michael Strahan, Film and TV actor Taylor Schilling, and many more. Opening my private practice allowed me to create a more intimate setting and pursue my vision for the future of skincare. It also gives me the freedom to offer the care and attention needed to achieve significant results for challenging skin and health issues.
