founder & sole proprietor
I am a second generation skin and body work specialist. My skills are founded in over 35 years as a gifted
esthetician professionally trained in Paris,
France and San Francisco, California. Early in my life, I learned skin care was
my calling and have been exceeding
client expectations since I was 17. My
professional journey began with my
family business, Institut de Beaute, an
upscale spa in the center of Paris.
Additionally, I was also trained by an
Indian practitioner in Ayurvedic treatments.
My vast experience and knowledge have
led me to envision massage as an
opportunity to bring relaxation, balance,
and vitality to my clients. I love sharing
knowledge and expertise assisting my
clients in conquering any skincare
challenges.
