Credentials & Experience:

If you’ve known me from the beauty industry, welcome to the new chapter!

After 25 years helping people care for themselves, I’m expanding the conversation.

Because I’ve come to believe one of the most overlooked forms of self-care is choosing environments where people can actually flourish.

That’s the journey I’m documenting now.
