For the past 19 years, I have worked as an esthetician studying the principles and methods of international experts in the fields of skin science, holistic health, and cosmetic chemistry. I have had the great privilege of studying with the incomparable Florence Barrett-Hill whose skin analysis method remains unmatched in depth and breadth. In France, I was honored to train personally with biochemist Joelle Ciocco in Paris and to attain the title of Epidermologist®. Joelle Ciocco’s avant-garde and impassioned approach to the study of the cutaneous ecosystem and its biodiversity led her to create the Epidermologue Method®. Following this, I began studies in Dr. Hans Lautenschläger’s interdisciplinary approach to Corneotherapy and became an expert in the application of his dermaviduals® skin care products. My work with dermaviduals® methodology and products transformed my understanding of both skin physiology and cosmetic chemistry.

These unique opportunities have allowed me to refine my inquiry into the skin’s history, memory, and present state, allowing me to decipher the lifestyle habits, environmental conditions, and genetic tendencies that contribute to the daily oxidative stresses of the skin. From this intrinsic and extrinsic analysis, I rebuild clients’ skin deficiencies using tailored cosmetic nutrition and provide clients with a cosmetic prescription to be followed at home. My mission is to help clients thoroughly understand their skin and obtain the kind of inimitable radiance that comes from within. 

I am fortunate to have had access to the ideas and research of a wide variety of experts, but my inspiration lies in what we have yet to discover. I have a deep respect for the skin and its natural instinct to repair and maintain itself. The mysteries and vitality of biological life intrigue and move me towards a cohesive understanding of skin health and beauty through all stages of our lives — an understanding I hope to pass to you. 

I look forward to welcoming you in my studio.
