A vision, cultivated over many devotional years

Clean products & Wellness focused services are both a thriving evermore growing Beauty sector, and a desired compliment to other Beauty treatments. I bring not only the purest products with a wellness focus, but couple it with my personal vision to align our energetic and the electrical body systems. A first of its kind beauty offering.

Healthy skin, inside and out, is the foundation for long term Beauty and delayed aging. I believe one of my gifts is having the vision for where things are trending and what clients are desiring next, while always remaining true to what is most optimal in delivering results.

I have not only believed that the future is clean products alongside advanced technology in promoting the most youthful skin, but have advocated and built my career around such a vision. Since moving to our community here in the Tri-Cities, I have observed the many medical spas offering and thriving in our Beauty market. I could not be more excited to be part of this community, and add my unique vision as an offering in the Beauty/Wellness space.

Professional Experience

Recent Journey

Studio Pilar,
Richland, Washington

2019–Present

  • In 2019 our family moved cross country, and subsequently I closed my beloved studio of almost 20 years. Not ready to jump into work, I took a creative educational sabbatical. One that took me back to my roots in all thing’s wellness. At just fifteen, I worked an after school job in our local health food store. 35+ years later I've never stopped wanting to learn about health & wellness. In this moment where Beauty & Wellness are merging more than ever, I believe these synonymous fields can align and thrive as one modality in an even more substantial way. I call my latest treatment evolution a study in "Beauty through the Body Systems" I arrived at this understanding after spending countless hours attending webinars, online Health Wellness summits and online courses to study the fundamental systems of our body and how they affect our beauty.

  • These primary systems that affect our skin are:  

    • The lymphatic system and the detoxification of our body. 

    • The nervous system and how it affects our skin including the study of meditation and mindfulness.

    • The muscular system and the aging process. 

    • Neuroplasticity, how our mind and thoughts affect our Wellbeing/Aging process.  

  • All leading me to the foundation of what my work will be grounded in moving forward.
    It is the philosophy and focus of addressing the root of where beauty is created and supported; ultimately giving us Glowing Healthy Youthful Skin for Life. Decades before becoming popular I was one of only a few aestheticians advocating for Organic Beauty as essential in skincare. Now I find myself desiring to advocate for working our Beauty from the inside out, its exactly the new passion and purpose I desired to find! 

  •  On the side I’ve also invested time to volunteer regularly, to homeless youth in the Tri-cities, teaching them meditation journaling and confidence building skills.
