My Story

Welcome Friends!

I’m an educator, a Licensed Holistic Esthetician, Herbalist, Craniosacral Therapist, Somatic Emotional Release Therapist, Licensed Cosmetologist, Certified Yoga Teacher, and Certified Life Coach.

I’m from a small agricultural town in Northern California, where I began my journey as a Cosmetologist, Esthetician, and Yogi. My love for the beauty industry began at 12 years old, driven by my own struggles with acne and hormonal imbalances. In my early 20s, I moved to Los Angeles with my family to start a new chapter, where, after 16 years of trying various external solutions, I realized my acne couldn’t be healed by medications or skincare products. This sparked a shift toward a deeper understanding of my body and led me to explore a holistic approach, focusing on food intolerances, the gut microbiome, emotional health, and herbal medicine.

IN HARMONY Skin & Herbals was born from this understanding, which is why my facials are seen as more therapeutic and healing than traditional skincare. I’ve dedicated myself to studying Herbalism, human anatomy, the emotional aspects of acne, skincare ingredients, rituals, and spiritual philosophies, all in search of balance. In 2022, I took a leap of faith and began educating other professionals, sharing the healing magic of facial massage.

What I've learned most in my profession is that the skin thrives on simplicity and a regulated nervous system. It speaks clearly when not overwhelmed, and each person’s version of harmony is unique—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. I will continue to learn from nature, life, and every client I work with. My intention is to educate and offer restorative facial experiences that create a nurturing space for individuals to relax, reconnect, and realign with their intuition.

Thank you for being here!


Herbalism

I’ve spent 8+ years studying herbalism, humbly learning the intricacies of the plants and fungi that grow all around us. This deep study has opened my heart to create herbal medicine and share my handmade elixirs, tinctures, botanical oils, and essences. I do not believe in allopathic herbalism, “using this for that” method, I believe in true holistic herbalism with loving respect for the land, and viewing a person as a whole being. We are not made of separate parts, but systems that interweave together.

I am a forever student of nature, and as I continue to study and learn from the Earth, these remedies and rituals will be shared with you. Take a look at my current creations, and reach out if you are interested in a custom formula!
